Grace's Nursery - Inspiration

Interior design is always an interesting subject in our home. You see, my MIL is an interior designer and my Dashing definitely inherited those genes. He has a "style," opinions on color palettes, and furniture preferences. On the positive side, he always wants to be involved in house-hold decisions and is genuinely interested. On the negative side, that means he has an opinion on everything and I can't just pick everything I want for any room in the house. I realize that is part of marriage (darn! hehe).

See his style is Indiana Jones travels the world:

My style is a little more chic and refined.
 to check out my style.

So lots of compromise has to come from both sides on design. I must say that Dashing usually does a little bit more conceding because he likes to see me happy (so sweet). So, here are some of our nursery design inspiration photos. I do have to say, I'm ecstatic about all of them. We're working from a budget, so I'm keeping track of everything that we spend so I can share what the cost ends up being. More nursery updates to come!

Sincerely,
Sara Cate

Test Day

Today, I had my gestational diabetes glucose test. Here's the run down..... starve fast all morning, drink an orange soda the prescribed sugar drink in under 5 minutes,

 then wait an hour while people, typically over the age of 75, shuffle in and out of the lab waiting area for their turn to provide urine samples. This means there are adults helping out their elderly parents, shouting at the top of their lungs to translate messages from the desk clerk to the parent about where to put their "sample."  I felt like I was living through an episode of the Golden Girls mashed with a nursing home nightmare.

Interesting right?

Well, I finally got my blood drawn and quickly escorted myself to the closest Paradise Bakery to eat some soup and a sandwich. Unfortunately, it was not satisfying at all - I should have ordered the usual and not the experimental meal. I hate it when that happens! Anyways, I'm feeling great so I'm hoping my test results show it too.

Here's what my 27 weeks and 2 days looks like!

Happy Wednesday!
Sincerely,
Sara Cate
