Pastel Threw Up on Our Nursery

So I'm not the greatest here at figuring out how to upload photos and text, sorry for the funky layout. When we moved into this house, we figured that the former owners had used this room as a nursery. I think it looks like pastel threw up in there. One wall is mint green, baby blue, pink, and then light yellow. At one point in time, I was going to paint it lime green and a brownish purple color as evidenced by the paint sample on the wall. I'm pretty sure that I've made up my mind that I want to paint the room a light sage green then have purple as a contrast color in the accessories. I picked out a color from Sherwin Williams called cleary sage, bought a paint sample and slapped some more sample on the wall. The more that I looked at it, I wondered if it looked too much like baby poop. I think maybe the color is just a little too dark. I'm thinking of trying the color that is one step lighter.

Third Trimester Morning Sickness?

I just threw up my lunch in my wastepaper basket at work. Sorry about that cleaning lady. I used to have all kinds of problems with eating during my first trimester. There was a lot of different foods that I just couldn't stomach the thought of eating. So for the most part I stuck to eating things I refer to as comfort food. Mostly pasta and things that your mom would make when you were a kid, like mac & cheese. I didn't have what I would normally think of as morning sickness. I assumed that it meant that you threw up every morning. Most of the time I was just nauseous a lot. I would only throw up if I had some sort of strange trigger. Mostly weird/bad smells, or if I couldn't stop coughing. Today I bit into my chicken burrito and I must have gotten a fatty piece. It was the different fatty texture that was the trigger. I tried the whole mind over matter thing, but that didn't work. Good thing I've got a spare yogurt in the fridge in case I get hungry later.

A New Chapter.

Eli, Spencer and I are about to start a new chapter of our lives. Baby Wolter is coming in just three months. I thought it would be a great idea to abandon my old blog and start a new blog documenting our adventures into parenthood.

Pregnancy thus far has been pretty uneventful (knock on wood). First trimester I felt pretty terrible. I was tired all of the time and experienced a bit of nausea. At the time, I felt like it was the worst thing ever to be pregnant. Looking back, I now know that it could have been so much worse of an experience. Luckily second trimester rolled around and I got my energy back. I still have a lot of trouble sleeping through the night, but I at least wake up in the morning have my one cup of coffee and feel like I can make it through the day. With third trimester rolling in, I'm waiting to see what new fun stuff is in store for me. I've already started experiencing some back pain and I do have some trouble moving around, but for the most part I hardly look like I'm pregnant. We've had several ultrasounds though and baby is growing just fine.

I'm starting to get in a nesting mood. I've been knitting away at baby hats, sweaters, and booties. I can't wait to dress up the baby. I'm also trying to brainstorm ideas for the nursery. Picking a wall color seems so important! I just can't seem to make a decision. The ultrasound tech is pretty sure that we are having a girl. However, I just can't bring myself to have a really girly room. I'm looking for just that right balance of a sweet baby room and a bit of girliness.
