Weekend Wonders: A Life & Nursery Update at Home

I’ve been busy busy BUSY with my videography business. I’m 100% loving it and it’s keeping me 110% busy. Like, WAY busier than I ever thought possible. I currently have a growing wait list of client work and contrary to previously imagined notions, I still have no free time (what are weekends again!?). On an even brighter note, I’ve managed to make it through 25 weeks of pregnancy so far with little to no symptoms. I’m not sure I’d be able to work so much right now if the mere thought of walking in the kitchen made me sick to my stomach (as I’ve heard reports from many other moms to be).

So uh, yea. Feeling *pretty* grateful for that.

Baby Britnell is finally starting to grow (I mean, grow where I can see it). At the 5 month mark, I started complaining because I had no bump at all. Only 3 weeks later, this is where we’re at.

Yea, I kind of popped over night. Full disclosure: I might be *ever so slightly* pushing my belly out here. Only slightly:)

I’ve also been enjoying the HELL out of creating my baby registry. It’s currently 50% cutesy stuff that we most likely don’t actually need (BUT HOW CUTE IS THIS!?) and 50% stuff that we do (car seat, bottles, etc). I’m open to any and all suggestions for baby must haves (and also not so must haves but still especially cute stuff;)).

Besides a few outfits, all we have bought so far is the crib plus this especially memorable (OMG I’M COMPLETELY OBSESSED) chest of drawers that will double as the changing table. (growing up I called them “chester drawers” and most of the time, it still comes out of my mouth that way).

(The pieces of paper taped to the wall is me trying to decide how many hexagon shelves to order for above the changing table;D)

Mr. Britnell says we should wait and see what we get from baby showers….I kind of only want to buy everything right now (!!!). Simply for the record: if you’re one of the people that think it’s hard to create a baby registry without telling people the sex of the baby, I’ve found that it’s truly not. That being said, our overall style is a bit more neutral anyways and I’m buying everything with the hopes of it being used for baby #2.

Oh ps- the white baby shoes at the beginning of the post are mine from when I was a baby. I stole borrowed them from my moms house thinking it would make a cute and memorable nursery decoration. Simply need to see if we can find a pair of Mr. Britnell’s baby shoes:)

I did manage to get some gardening done this past weekend. It’s been an exceptionally warm spring here in Nashville so we’re kind of only skipping spring crops this year and jumping right on into all things summer. HELLO tomatoes, peppers, and all the squashes that I can fit in a 40 foot area that I’ve been preparing for only such an occasion (hint: it’s kind of a lot). Mr. Britnell has promised that he’ll help out with the garden a bit more this summer….especially considering I’ll be 8-9 months pregnant in the worst of the southern summer heat.

I had hoped to do a little spring garden update at this point in the post but as it turns out, April is holding true to it’s reputation here in Nashville. It rained ALL weekend. I mean, ALL. WEEKEND. LONG. And not simply a little bit of rain here and there.

That’s all

Since it rained all weekend, I spent much of that time working on my blog and editing a few videos that I shot months ago for MYSELF (not client work). Here’s one of them:

Have a lovely week, friends!
