New Years Resolution...in February

In January, as I looked at the year ahead, I was trying to think of a goal/resolution that I could obtain. Obviously I would like to lose weight, but being pregnant doesn't really allow that to happen. That can be a goal once I've had the baby.

Last year, my friends and I started a book club where we meet every other month. It is nice because then we have more time to read the book. After reading some of the books quickly, I found I was always looking for a new book after finishing our book club book. Then I came up with my goal for the year...to read a book a month. I love reading and used to do it all the time but in the last couple of years, it hasn't happened. I know this will be a stretch once I have the baby, but I am hoping I can still find moments here and there to read a good book.

Here is what I have read so far;
January - Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson
February - Defending Jacob by William Landay

Both were really good books that I would definitely recommend reading. I figure the books may also overlap in timing, but I guess if I can at least read 12 books within the year, I will have achieved my goal. Next up on the list is The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.

Any book suggestions??

Baby Girl Pool Nursery!

One of my favorites things about being pregnant has been putting together the nursery. I absolutely love it and can't wait until it is filled with a baby! Over the last few months, Jeff and I have been working on putting it together. People had told us to order the furniture early because it can take 12 weeks to get it... So we ordered it early and it didn't take 12 weeks. It took between 2 weeks and 1 month. Needless to say, we had our furniture. I have been ok with this, just in case something were to happen in the next few months and she came early, we would be ready. We decided to paint the nursery a gray color. We started with one color but it looked too blue, so we had to repaint. I love the color now and it will be nice if we have future children that we wouldn't necessarily have to paint. Instead of going with the pink theme of a room, we decided to go with lavender and other various purples. I still have some nick-nacky things to get and finish, but it is one of my favorite rooms in our house. I love walking by it each day!
