Nursery light fixture
Just wanted to post a picture of the real light fixture that will be installed in baby # 3's nursery. Here are the moodboards again, featuring the most similar light fixture that I could find online.
And here is the real deal.

Postcard art
How cute would these postcards be framed in the nursery?
If we end up having a girl that is!

Dear quiet readers (the 99% of you who haven't comented yet),
I am having a very hard time choosing a crib.
I need some help.
Help in the form of your opinions, so now is the time to speak up!
Here are the top five contenders...........
#1. $199 Love the retro feel of this one!
#2. $199 I like the solid side panels on this one, I could add fabric or wallpaper to them!
#3. $ 187 Great lines here as well, a little less feminine than the first one.
#4. $179 I like this one but it is a little more traditional than I was looking for.
#5. Probably my favorite but it is cramping my budget!
So help a sister out..........which would you choose?????

Introducing..............
So, have you been waiting with bated breath for my little announcement??
My ultrasound went great! We had a really awesome tech who turned the screen away whenever she got close to any private parts, and sealed the picture and the card announcing baby's sex in an envelope immediately. After the ultrasound was over we took the card, which said "It's a ________!" (our ultrasound tech filled in the blank and sealed it away) to a local bakery (Crooked Tree Coffee and Cakes...YUM!!!!!) and dropped it off. They made us two dozen cupcakes with either pink or blue frosting on the inside, so that we could all take a bite and find out together. That night we met our family and some close friends at my parents house for our gender reveal. It was so much fun!
And the frosting is..................................................
BLUE!!!!!!!!!
Yep, that's right another boy!! I guess I'm just destined to be surrounded by handsome men!
Introducing Isaac Asher Waddell, who by the way was sucking his thumb through the entire ultrasound!
Our little alien! ; )
It's a boy!!
I have to say that for a very long time I was SURE that this time it was a girl. However, the night before my ultrasound I had a dream that we had another boy. When I woke up that morning I "KNEW" that it was another boy! Having a girl would've been fun, but I am really not disappionted at all!! I LOOOOOVE my boys and having another one just seems perfect, I don't know how else to describe it. We are very excited to say the least!
However, I am back to square one with Isaac's nursery. I'm just not loving the direction that I was going before. Pretty sure I've figured it out though and I'll share it with you soon! It may include some of these things:
I will also have some pictures of our newly painted living room soon. I really did like the colors that we had before but the paint finish was AWFUL! I bought satin but once I got it up on the walls it was clear that satin was not going to cut it. Every mark, handprint, etc. showed up and could not be washed/wiped off. Having boys and (pretty much) flat paint is a big no-no! I had a gallon of semi gloss leftover from painting the office so I decided to go the budget friendly route and just use that. I had to buy one more gallon but that will get me down the hallway as well (next on the to-do list). I also sold the coffe table that I refinished and bought something a little more up my alley, along with an area rug which should be here Monday. Once we get the rug layed down I'll take some pics.
Posting may be sparse for the next week, we have a church conference this weekend and on Monday poor Jude has to have surgery. It's a really quick procedure but since it's a little traumatic (he has to get re-circumsised) he has to be put under for it. Prayers are appreciated!!
Have a great weekend!!!!

Recovery and Isaac's Nursery Plans
Well, we are home (we got home about 12:30pm yesterday after his surgery at 9:30am) and Jude is doing great! If you prayed for us yesterday morning thank you so much, I really appreciate it!! I was very worried about how he was going to react to being taken back to the OR by himself but he did wonderful! It was a little rough after he woke up until the meds kicked in but let me just say that he is a TROOPER! They didn't use any local anesthesia for the procedure, just the gas to knock him out and then regular old tylenol. He was pretty sore yesterday but did really well with just the tylenol. Since it was such a minor procedure it should heal very quickly in the next 2-3 days. This morning he woke up his happy, cheery self.
God is good!!!!
So beyond recovery for Jude there is lots going on around our house, including cleaning up the nursery and getting it ready for new paint.
Baby boy # 3, Isaac Asher is due at the end of June, that sounds so far off but it's not! I have about three and a half monthsbefore I won't be able to see my feet anymore to get prepared for his arrival.
Here are the updated plans for his nursery.
I will be using the same curtains, slipcovered chair, nesting tables, neutral area rug and dresser (have to paint it) that are already in the room, along with the same layout.
The crib that I decided on, thanks for your help by the way, is this one:
I may get this under the crib storage drawer.......
......with some paint and new hardware it would look like this gorgeous, Dorothy Draper inspired (and very expensive) crib.
I have fabric to make a spotted crib sheet like the one above. I also have the same round vinyl ottoman as on the moddboard, but mine is emerald green.
Above the crib I'm planning on hanging this cheeky print from Urban Outfitters.
Along the other wall above the dresser I'm thinking about hanging three long mirrors horizontally...like this.
I pre-ordered this rug from Urban Outfitters and I'm so excited to see it in person, layered over the other rug. It ships on March 8th, I can't wait!
I found the tripod lamp base at Target on sale so I snatched it up. I love how masculine it is...kind of makes me want to steal it for somewhere else in the house! :)
I'll post pictures when I get some of these projects done.....crazy to think that Isaac will be here in four months! I can't wait to meet him!!

Nursery sneak peek
Just a little teaser.......since there is nothing else in the room right now.
Also check out what's new at Urban Outfitters......
TGIF........
Oh how I wish that were true! This is not Friday for me. You see my hubs doesn't get weekends off. He gets two days off (usually) during the week but they are RARELY back to back. So for all of you who have Monday-Friday jobs and get to spend the whole weekend with your family...........I am SO jealous!!!!!
Next weekend, however he is taking (fingers crossed) a four day weekend and it can't come soon enough. In order to take the time off he is working straight through this weekend and coming week. It's going to be a long week!
In other news, things are starting to come together around the old casa Waddell. I have a ton of projects on my plate right now but at least I am making progress.....slow and steady wins the race, right?! I'm going to be stripping a vintage dresser soon and I think I am going to try my hand at liming it.
So beautiful!!!
Have any good tutorials/advice for me? I really love the look but I'm a little worried because I have no clue what kind of wood this dresser is made out of. It's not particle board or anything (it's vintage Thomasville) but it may have some kind of veneer. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
Oh and remember this hardware? It will be going on the dresser when I'm done.
Can't wait to get it all done!
Also looky what I found.
$87.30-They also come in a black/dark finish.
Although I'm not loving the finish (Rub n' Buff to the rescue!!) I think this is a great budget friendly look-a-like to the Circa Lighting sconces we've all seen everywhere!!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!!!
By the way, what do you think of Pinterest's new layout??
I kind of love it, SO much better than timeline on Facebook!

Dresser reveal
It's been three weeks since I started this project and the weather, our kids and our schedules just would not cooperate. We've had sick kids, long hours at work for the hubs, contractions for me and a spring blizzard. But I am happy to say that against all odds I am finally finished!
I don't have much of a before photo just this one that I snapped in the middle if moving Phin's stuff into Jude's room last summer.

Here is what she looks like now.................
I have a feeling that the Briwax Liming Wax would've been easier to work with but I'm happy with how it turned out. I decided at the last minute to spray paint the feet mint green and I'm kind of loving it!
I'm so glad to have this done so I can move onto finishing the rest of Isaac's nursery.
Only about 9 weeks to go!!
Lately.........
I've been attached to my sewing machine.
I've made about 2,849 pillows........
a crib sheet (out of this Alexander Henry fabric)..........
and a slipcover for our ottoman.
(I'm waiting for some sunshine to take some decent photos of the rest of the living room.)
I still need to make two duvet covers for Jude and Phin's beds and then the sewing machine can get put away.
This late in the game (31 weeks) pretty much anything and everything is knock down, drag out exhausting for me. However, it's a mad dash to get everything done before I go into labor and with my history that could be sooner rather than later. I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone by and that we'll be holding sweet baby boy # 3 in as little as six weeks!! Speaking of that sweet baby, his nursery is almost finished. I'm just waiting on one last piece of art.
This awesome photo taken by my Aunt.
I have a pretty sweet framing situation for it too.
Happy Friday, hope you all have a great weekend!
