A Nap in the Big Girl Room

The Big-Girl Room downstairs is far from finished, but we did finally get the mattresses in there last night. Yay! So I figured she better get comfortable sleeping down there as soon as possible. We tried it out today and I didn't think she would really fall asleep since lately she chooses not to sleep while it's nap time in the crib about 75% of the time - but she did! So I waited about an hour and snuck in to take a picture of her sleeping and she, of course, opened her eyes and fussed a little. But she quieted back down and is still finishing her nap. I'm so excited. I think tonight I'll give her the option of her crib or the big-girl bed downstairs. I don't want to push my luck, though.

As you can see in the picture the walls are still white - they will be painted light green hopefully very soon. The upholstered headboard is a very light pink, but taller than I want. So we will need to saw off the posts to make it shorter. And I still need to buy a plain light pink duvet cover and a white dust ruffle for the bed. I have already purchased about 5 or 6 sets of sheets with really fun prints so that I can just change the sheets all the time and keep the duvet plain. The furniture in the room and the frames to go on the wall are all white. I'm really excited to get it done! Then I can start in on the nursery... And then get the rest of the house organized... I think I may have reached my nesting stage!

Since I haven't mentioned it in a while, the pregnancy is going great. I'm almost 7 months along now. Baby Boy is moving and poking around a lot throughout the day. I think, though, that Sophia's pretty tired of hearing about this so called baby brother. It's a long wait for a 2 year old.

That is so cute!! If you don't want to cut the legs of the headboard, then you could always try to raise the bed. I have seen blocks that the legs fit into that would raise the bed up...just a thought. Luvs

The room is adorable. Where'd you find that bed? I love it. I'm starting to shop for a bunk bed for Tater...any suggestions?
