Our Budget nursery
With everything going on right now, I was so worried about finishing our nursery and spending money. Yes we had to get creative and ended up using some items from other parts of our house, but it actually ended up working out perfect! We wanted a budget nursery, with expensive taste. We are so happy with how it turned out and definitely realized you can still have a super nice nursery at an affordable price! We finished our entire nursery (other than items that are on our registry like the changing table, crib mattress and essentials) for under $1000!
my baby registry must haves
I thought it would be fun to gather up all the must have we registered for! This is my first pregnancy so obviously I’m no expert yet but this is what we are the most excited about and after doing lots of research these are the items we really want to try! I’m going to link my registry here too because one thing I’ve loved doing is looking through registries online! I get so many ideas from what other people have registered for. Did you know you can look at Blake Lively’s registry on Amazon? So fun.
Our Gender REveal Party!
We just had our gender reveal party yesterday and hosted about 20 guests! I’ve never attended a gender reveal or hosted one before so we didn’t really know what to expect. It was so fun planning the party and although the anticipation of waiting to find out the gender for 2 weeks was SO hard..it was so worth it to be able to find out the surprise with all of our friends and family! We did a blood test to find out the gender when I was 11 weeks and my sister kept the secret.
What I’ve learned in my first trimester
If you haven’t already heard….we’re pregnant!!! I’m so excited to finally announce this exciting news and it has been a long couple months keeping this a secret! Since I’m now out of my first trimester I thought it would be fun to gather up some things I’ve learned, things I bought and loved, and what I know about being pregnant so far! The fact that I now have the energy to write a blog says a lot about my first trimester haha…
