Kingston's Bedding/Nursery Ideas
We finally decided on baby fabric and wall color!! Woo hoo!! I have a few other ideas that I want to incorporate as well and I am posting those pictures too! Comments, suggestions, etc are welcome!!
Wall color up close.
Funky fabric that is not part of bedding, but will be used for fabric bookshelves seen on etsy & pinterst! May use it in the curtains as well.
Here is an example of a fabric bookshelf!
All of it together. Bottom fabric will be the skirt, small polka dots will be outside of bumper, and inside of bumper will alternate solid color blue, polka dot, solid color orange throughout the inside 4 bumper pads.
I am super excited and blessed to have an amazing friend Catherine who is always my idea bouncer and fashionista to help with this fun stuff. Also, props to my enthused hubby for wanting to be involved as well! ;)
Here are a few ideas of things that I would like throughout the nursery too!
Super cute owl set that match the blue in the fabric. I think I need these!
I love these bins for toys, etc. Not this fabric, but maybe use the same as the bookshelves or bedding to match ;)
LOVE this book - Where the Wild Things Are - and love this framed artwork!
Super cute letter that I am thinking would look fabulous over his bed.

Cody'ism of the week: Cody talking to my belly and telling Kingston all kinds of different stories! Oh, and that daddy is going to teach him to play baseball!
Today's doctor appointment: Heart beat was 138 and he is measuring right on time!

Chicago Trip Labor Day Weekend!
We were invited to meet our buddies Chad & Krable in Chicago for a bachelor/bachelorette party. We've had it planned for a very long time and were looking forward to hanging out with our friends!
Saturday:
We flew out of Nashville and landed at Midway. Chad & Krable picked us up with pumpkin bars in hand ;) We drove to the hotel, got checked in and freshened up. They went to the bar for a drink and I napped so I could hang that night. We hopped on the train and headed to Wrigleyville for dinner. We were searching for a bar called Merckle's. it is an Iowa Hawkeye bar and so we wandered into a bar that we thought was Merckle's but it wasn't it was John Barleycorn's. We ate dinner and watched some football and had fun catching up ;) We caught the train back - did I mention the guys whined because the train ride was about an hour and they lost their buzz?! wah wah. The ride home had some interesting characters. Love me some people watching.
Sunday:
We left the hotel at 10 to head to the game. this time we took the train and then hopped a bus to Wrigleyville. it was much faster - about 40 minutes. We met up with a few other people there for the celebration at the Cubby Bear. Then, we walked over to the rooftop. We rented space at Brixen Ivy which is a rooftop that overlooks the baseball field. It was all you can eat food and drinks and was great for mingling. We watched the game, ate and had great conversations! After the game we went to a bar called the Full Shilling. I partied until about 8 and then became the designated direction giver ;) I rode the bus and train back to the hotel with another couple that went to the game too. Cody stayed out and partied it up until 1am, while I took a long bath, ate pumpkin bars and drank Gatorade!
Monday:
We woke at 6am, bright and early to catch out flight back home. Thanks goodness Chad & Krable took us to Midway because a cab would have been $120, yikes! We tipped our chauffeurs, hugged their necks and are making plans for the next visit. Them coming to Nashvegas to meet Kingston! ;)
We hate that we will miss their wedding, set for December 30; but hopefully, we will have a little bundle by then.
This is Kingston's souvenir that daddy bought him:
