Baby Nursery Inspiration - Grey, Blush, Cream & Dusty Blue

With the countdown of only four months to go, we have started the nursery process! The walls are painted, crown molding is going up and floors have been tiled!

We have her crib and dresser and are waiting on a few more pieces before we begin the decorating process. I am so excited for that! I think it will feel even more real once I see her furniture all set up. I am still on the lookout for some wall pieces, art, etc. to add some flair. So if you see anything girly and chic, send my way!

Here is some of the inspiration I used when dreaming up her room and I just can't wait to see it all come to life soon.

Love this ottoman so much - just ordered mine!

How sweet is this toy corner filled with a rocker and stuffed animals?! Funny story - prior to getting pregnant, Z and I went out for a date night a few towns away. I had a gift card for one of the small stores in the town center so I went in to see if there was anything I wanted. It was a soap/bath store and I wasn't feeling any of the scents but couldn't stop staring at this exact bunny. Z gave me a funny look and was like "Just get it." Little did we know that in just a few short weeks after that date night, we'd find out we were expecting! So this sweet bunny will definitely be showcased in her room!

I absolutely adore a mix of blue, white, ivory and light pink! We picked up these curtains during the Target curtain sale and they are the prettiest muted pink! I think they will go nicely with the rustic chic vibe that we are aiming for! Also, this lamp is almost identical to the one in the pic but with a white washed base. I'd definitely change out the shade though.

I am so excited to reuse a special piece from our wedding in her nursery - this dresser! I love how it has become the norm to just add a diaper changer to the top of any ol' dresser! We are working with a smaller room so we need to make use of all the space we have. This diaper changer has so many great reviews and I love how versatile it is. I ordered the vanilla color to stay on theme in her room. Also, added this little rocker to our registry! I'm a sucker for anything personalized.

Here's a gathered view of some of the recent purchases for her nursery:

Don't worry, as we finish things, I will definitely post sneak peeks of everything over on Instagram!

Have a wonderful weekend!

We're having a BABY!

baby announcement

We are so excited to share that we are expecting Baby Krueger early March 2019!

It feels like yesterday that Zach and I had that conversation about when we would start trying. (It was actually earlier this year at the airport on the way to New York City!) We knew we wanted to start trying this year but hadn't really put too much thought into the when until then.

Fast forward 6 months - I found out one early morning in June. I had to actually keep it a secret for TWO days from Zach because he had a VERY important interview and test to prepare for that week (go figure!) and I didn't want to take his mind off of them! Ha!

But that long two day wait was so worth it - he passed the interview and test (go Z!) and we were able to celebrate his success as well as all of this exciting baby news! The look on his face was priceless - he was so happy!

I'll give you a short and sweet bump update since I've had so many friends and family members ask about how I am feeling! Here's a little rundown on the last 14 weeks!

How far along: 15 weeks on Friday!

Due date: March 1st!

Sickness: The morning sickness was REAL during weeks 6 through 13. It wasn't until about midweek 13 that I started to feel a little bit more like myself. I've started going back to the gym for cardio and am starting back with yoga this weekend! It was really hard for me to give it up the last two months! However, my skin is a whole other story - I’ve broken out a lot! (Thanks hormones!) I'm hoping this will calm down soon. I've started to get a little heartburn recently which tums have helped to ease.

Cravings & Aversions: I mostly have aversions to meat. It just doesn't sound appealing at all. I'm loving all fruit, veggies and nuts. I also have been craving crushed ice! I tend to have a large cup of crushed ice water each night before bed - it's sort of like a treat!

Physical changes: I've definitely started to get a little bump which is noticeable if I wear a fitted t-shirt or fitted dress. But mainly the "girls" have grown a whole lot (hello painful sleeping) and this acne makes me feel like I am back in high school!

Gender: We should find out the gender next week and are planning a gender reveal party for our family! I think this has been the most exciting thing so far for us as we can't wait to know what this sweet babe is. I think it's a boy and Zach thinks it's a girl! I'll share more after the party!

Thank y’all so much for sharing this excitement with us!
