How many times can I rearrange a nursery?

How many times can a pregnant person rearrange a nursery? Let's see...I believe so far we are up to 5 times? Luckily the furniture is all very light so I'm able to move it on my own without any effort at all. I like the new arrangement much better and hopefully it will remain this way for more than a week ;)

What is a nursery without a guard cat? Demon has been doing a great job keeping the nursery free of...um...mice? She has been filling it with cat hair though so we will have to do a series of serious vacuuming before the Berry can claim her room! I have a feeling Demon is going to get a rude awakening when she realizes that we didn't make this neat room with a special chair and hiding fort (aka crib with dust ruffle thing) just for her.

I suspect I will be spending quite some time in this corner, so I'm working on making it as comfy as possible. The chair cushions are actually covered with an old sheet of mine that I loved but no longer use since it is full sized and our bed is a queen. The black lamp was a wedding gift but will work perfectly in the nursery. We're going to put a low light bulb, or possibly colored bulb, in the lamp so that it will give off a dim glow to help the baby and I stay in a nice sleepy mindset for those late night feeding sessions. It also has a series of small shelves which will be nice for holding a bottle of water or possibly a snack for me.

Our new changing table :) We weren't going to purchase one at first but a neighbor friend of my parents was willing to part with her old for just $40. We're thinking of putting it in the laundry room when we are done for additional storage down there. I covered the lower shelves with some beautiful contact paper I found at Habitat for Humanity Restore. $2 for 24 feet. I may have gone a little crazy with the paper...

I also found a good deal on the dark brown baskets. $25 for 5 baskets from Costco. The two smaller ones are holding my current cloth diaper set (BumGenius), the larger on the right is holding a stash of books, and the left is currently empty. I also have one of the larger ones downstairs as a catch-all container for our little animal things like nail clippers, brushes, treats, etc.

Right now the top is being used as my gift table. The overwhelming generocity of my friends already has me in (happy) tears.

Diet diet diet

Well, so far so good on my gestational diabetes diet. I haven't had a reading over the limit since the first day which has been encouraging. The testing is not too bad either. In all honesty, the pain is similar to plucking an eyebrow and lasts about as long. Definitely something that I can handle. I've also been hanging out on the "High risk" board on The Bump which has made me realize that having GD is definitely not the end of the world and that there are other things that would have been/could be much much worse.

The only problem with my diet is that I am not gaining weight. As of Thursday I have not gained a single pound in the last month and actually lost 2. My dietician says that is perfectly normal as my body adjusts to a diet that is easier to metabolize, has less fat, and is healthier so hopefully I will start gaining again once I'm done adjusting.

Today is also our 2 year wedding anniversary! It's hard to believe for both of us. Our anniversary feels like two things. The first emotion is "holy crap, it's been 2 years? That's so long!" Yet at the same time I can't seem to remember ever not having Scott in my life or being married to him.

Here are some fun wedding pictures :)
