Two Babies. One Nursery.
Thursday, July 21, 2016We are just a little over 5 weeks from meeting our little baby boy and goodness gracious are we excited!! It has become an everyday conversation with Charlee that she is going to have a little brother soon and although I don't think she understands exactly what we are saying, there are moments when she will lean into my belly as if she is giving him a hug! ... At least that's what I am choosing to believe... more likely than not though, she is probably tired and is using my growing belly as a makeshift pillow. #momlife
I still catch myself questioning "are we really going to do this whole 2-under-2 thing?!" and the answer every time is still yes. yes we are. The only part (right now) that is a little concerning to me is the sleep situation, just because we live in a 2 bedroom apartment and yep, you guessed it, they will be sharing a room!
Please send prayers.
I have been trying to figure out how to organize/decorate their room in a way that will be both cute but also practical because i'll have a one-year-old and a one-month-old. Needless to say, practicality is a MUST. I have put together an inspiration board for their room and will be tackling that project over the next couple of weeks! I thought I would share it just in case anyone else out there is in the same boat as me!
- One. I am pretty much in love with these signs! My plan is to have one hanging over Levi's crib that will look almost identical to the one in the picture but I also want to have one hanging over Charlee's crib that will say "I am a daughter of the king..." Because these are so big and because what they say is so powerful I am planning on these being the main focal piece of the room!
- Two. Aden and Anais is one of the best companies (in my opinion) out there right now for baby products! Everything we own from them we love and I am planning on getting a couple pair of sheets for the kids cribs because they are so soft and easy to care for.
- Three. Teepees!! Insert all the heart eyes. I love teepees and would love love love to have one in the kids room. Unfortunately, due to lack of space, I don't think it will fit but I guarantee that the moment we have a play room this will be one of the first purchases!
- Four. Again, this probably won't be what the kids closet looks like this go-round but how beautiful is this picture?! So clean, so simple, and would be perfect for a shared closet!! Thankfully our closets right now are pretty big so I am not too worried about lack of space for the kids clothes!
- Five. I just love this little rocking chair corner. We have a rocking chair already because of Charlee but I want to brighten up our space like the one in the picture. Also- I love the books on the floating shelves... I might just have to ask Lee to make that a reality for us! :)
- Six. Shoutout to my incredible husband because he built the kids cribs!! Like from scratch. I was and still am very impressed! The crib in the photo above isn't the one he built but it looks very similar to it! I love that the kids will have matching cribs and I just think it is so special that their daddy built the cribs just for them!
- Seven. These blankets are perfection. Seriously, don't you just want to crawl into the picture and cuddle up with one of those bad boys?! I do. I am thinking about getting a pink one to hang over Charlee's crib and maybe the gray one to go over Levis. I just love how cozy they look and think they would be the perfect addition to the room.
Wish me luck and stay tuned for pictures of the finished product!!
