The baby's room

Now typically we would have had the nursery finished a long time ago. Given our move, we waited to buy the furniture until after we arrived in Dallas to avoid any damage during transit. I've heard stories of cribs taking 5 months or something ridiculous to come in, so the second day we were here, we went to buy the baby's furniture. Granted, a baby doesn't really even need a crib right away, but I wanted to have everything set to go before the big day.

I had purchased the bedding a while ago and since I probably spent more time deciding on this than my own wedding dress, I made Sumeet transport it down here. After months of searching for the perfect bedding, I wasn't going to risk the movers losing it. Finding gender neutral bedding that I loved and that the baby would love was a lot more difficult than I thought.

Technically, we can paint the room, but we would have to paint it back. This seems like a hassle so I found these cute wall stickers. They're super easy to use and probably look like I painted this mural anyway.

So that's the baby's room. According to the floor plan, it's a "study" but I think it worked out perfectly as our nursery.

Reviving the Blog...

Now that we've moved to Dallas and are finally getting settled, I thought it was a good time to start the blog up again. I think it will be a great way to share photos of our little one with our friends and family. Until the little one arrives, I'll try and keep this somewhat entertaining! After the baby comes, I think the photos of the baby will be entertaining enough!

We've been in Dallas now for a few weeks and we both have been enjoying the time getting our new home ready for the baby. Sumeet has been off work for a few weeks which has been great! We've been able to get the baby's room all ready and have ventured out to try a few restaurants. The temperature here is finally cooling down- it's in the 90s- a welcome relief after a few weeks of 100+ degree weather.

We live in a great neighborhood with a lot of great shops and restaurants within walking distance. Another bonus- our complex connect directly to the Katy trail. I think that this year will very exciting in many ways and I'm really looking forward to it for many reasons!
