Almost to the 1/2 way mark!! 

We scheduled our gender reveal also--- JULY 2nd!!!

This really makes me happy because we find out right before we leave for our annual 4th of July vacation to Charlivoix, Petoskey, Boyne. SUPER EXCITED to purchase a little "up north" outfit for our little bebe. :)

From my favorite place on earth!

Dan has been hard at work painting the room we declared as the nursery. It's the room right across from ours so we figured it was much more practical than the one at the end of the hall. 

I helped...a little. Don't worry windows were open and face mask was on. My mom and I thought it would be a good idea to do board and batten in the nursery. That project should start June 28th- I can't wait to see the final outcome!

This is just an example of the board and batten. I think it brightens up the room so much.

My mom and I had a little girls shopping trip Saturday afternoon and headed up to birchrun. LOVE THAT PLACE!

Of course we stopped at our favorite place of all time. POTTERY BARN! I found this little Mobile thing for $20. I have no idea what the "theme" of the nursery will be yet but it was just so unique and cute. Plus you can't even find these mobiles for $20 on Etsy- I bought it.

Before I reveal our next purchase- I just wanted to say how extremely thankful I am for my parents. They are such an example to me and are so giving and self-less. We have had our ups and downs (especially during those wonderful teenage years) but I think in the end we have come out stronger and I can't imagine my life without them. 

After I told my parents Dan and I were having a baby they wanted to buy our bedroom furniture for the baby. WHAT!!!?? What a huge expense!! THANK YOU! I am so so so grateful for such loving parents. :)

My mom has GREAT taste- So as we were at Pottery Barn they had cribs for sale, we browsed, and they had the color I was looking for "simply white."

We bought Baby D's Crib!!!

Here it is in all it's glory in our Office. :) :)

Can't wait to set it up!!

You are probably wondering what it looks like: Ta Da!

Introducing the Larkin Crib from Pottery Barn Kids:

We have also been prepping the exterior of our house to paint. A couple weekends ago we power washed the outside of the house and cleaned out gutters. 

Dan hard at work. I supervised- obviously. I can't wait to get rid of the puke green exterior. Barf!

My dream color scheme. We should be starting project "Paint Our Gross House" in the next 2-3 weeks. Thank goodness for my brother who will help and guide us. I think we would be lost.
