33 weeks + some empty decorating promises?

So I was planning to put up a nursery mood board but not sure anymore if I'll get the time before the nursery is actually finished AND I'm kinda freaking out that it might not be a girl! Ha! Probably stupid.. But I don't really want to embarrass myself when a boy pops his little head out and I have a cute baby girls room waiting for him at home. I don't have to wait long.. Only til Tuesday! I will be getting a 3D scan so we should be able to have a clear view and put my worries to rest. Not that a boy would be bad but I think the pretty pink clothes I've got will feel very sad and lonely having to be packed away.

So probably no nursery mood board. Unless I can squeeze it in between my 3D scan on Tuesday and decorating on the weekend. Which now that I think about it, may be a huge doable possibility. But did I tell you? Our ikea delivery is arriving on thursday! My fingers are tingling just writing about it. The main item which I am so over the moon about is our sofa. We will finally have a sofa! No one can really understand my joy over this unless they themselves have also never owned a sofa. Our living room at the moment consists of a very uncomfortable day bed and one very springy uncomfortable chair. We went with Karlstad in dark grey.

When I first saw it, I wasn't that into it but then I saw it over at Young House Love and read about how much they love it. So I was taken! But with the new sofa coming it got me thinking. Our living room screams boring and bland. And I'm afraid the sofa will probably just accentuate that fact. So next week I will be putting together my next project: Living Room Makeover Mood Board! Just so you get the idea, the colours at the moment are navy, white and beige with a couple of unnoticeable pops of red. I'll be keeping the navy as that is our feature wall but the rest has seen better days. So until next week where I'll be back with my mood boards and some gender news. Hopefully...

Chinese Cabbage = Little Miss Wimm

It's a new week again. It literally feels like it was only yesterday that I posted about Bub being the size of a cauliflower! Oh how the time flies! It's like what they say, blink and might just miss them growing up! Except in this case I would be quite glad to miss the next few months of big bellies and heat and skip right along to a little munchkin face in my arms... but enough dreaming for one day. Bubby is now as big as a Chinese cabbage... How splendid! So if she was born today I would be holding a Chinese cabbage.

Third Trimester!

Woohoo! I'm now on the home run! I have officially made it to the much awaited 3rd trimester! Hopefully it will go as smoothly as the first two... and is it too much to ask that if be cut short by a week or two?

Bubby is now the size of a cauliflower. Isn't that lovely!

It's a GIRL!

It's official! We're expecting a little lady! And to celebrate, I made a quilt/blanket!

I might eventually put up a tutorial for this quilt...however this time round like the last 3 times I forgot to take photos as I was going. And we all know that photo tutorials are WAY better than a list of boring steps. But as you can see from the photos, it's incredibly straight forward and easy. Straight lines and all! All you need is some pretty fabric, some batting, a sewing machine and a of couple spare hours...two to be exact!

The seams along the edges are a tad wonky in some spots...but I'm sure she won't mind ;)

23 weeks and still don't know!

So I'm now a good 23 weeks along and he/she/it is still not letting on... Had two ultrasounds in the last month already where the little mite could have showed at least something. But no, it is determined to leave us me in distraught suspense. How parents can wait until the birth to find out what gender their baby is, I have no idea! I'm almost going a tad insane! I think it could be a conspiracy from the husband; the later I know the less time I have to buy cute things for the baby, thus we save money?

By the way, Bub is now the size of a large mango...yum!!
