Half Baked! and nursery pics

Today, baby Memphis and I reached a huge milestone - 20 weeks of pregnancy! Wow!! 20/40 means we're halfway there. It's crazy to think how fast this pregnancy is going by and I know that as the weeks keep passing, it will feel like it's going faster and faster. Once I go back to school on Aug. 16th, time will seem to fly by! I can't believe we will be meeting him so soon. I can't wait to hold him in my arms. So in honor of our occasion, I've taken my bump picture with a pint of Half Baked ice cream YUM YUM! :)

We are now almost finished painting the nursery. Since deciding to do Memphis' room in a pirate theme, I have been brainstorming how to accomplish this in a fun, animated way. We decided that one of the walls would be devoted to a large painting of a pirate ship. You have seen my excitement when Jason agreed to this. Seriously, my obsession with skulls and pirates has made this nursery makeover sooo much fun. :) After that, we needed to decide how to paint the other three walls without making them feel too nautical. I wanted his nursery to be focused solely on pirates and not on other nautical aspects like lighthouses, anchors, whales, etc. We finally agreed to paint half of the wall tan and then paint the bottom half in stripes of blue. To tie everything together, we used roping between the halfs to act almost as a chair rail. We think that everything has come together so nicely and I must say that I think we did a fantastic job on the pirate ship. haha That's obviously my favorite thing so far. Now we just need to actually furnish the room lol. I can't wait until everything comes together and we can put the finishing touches on his room. I have found some of the cutest pirate baby things on etsy.com.
