Nursery Ideas

These are some of my favorite inspirations from Pinterest.  If you can't tell, I'm obsessed with a fox theme.  I'm also drawn to geometric prints and I have to incorporate a little Wes Anderson where I can!  I've decided to do the nursery in a soft orange, beige and white and then add pink or navy blue details when the baby arrives.  The hardest part will be trying to stay gender neutral when gender-specific baby stuff is so darn cute!

There is a lot of opportunity for some DIY projects and I'm very excited about that. It will give me something to work on while Daniel is at work on the weekends.  My first project is to get all the stuff that's in the nursery packed up and down in storage.  Considering my wedding was 13 months of preparation, I'm going to need all of the next 7 months to pull off this project!

Gummi Bear

     Here we go!  Today we are 9 weeks and 5 days pregnant, due March 24, 2014.  I haven't posted for awhile because I've known for nearly 6 weeks and wasn't ready to let the cat out of the bag.  (Plus, I have been thinking of little else).  But here it is.  We've decided this little picture looks like a gummi bear.  We could see him/her kicking in the ultrasound, see the heart beating, the umbilical cord, and yolk sac.  It was amazing!  We are not finding out the sex.  It's a Kahn tradition that I just can't break, and besides I think the surprise will be exciting.
     I still have a week and a half before school starts, and I'm hoping that the morning sickness subsides before then.  I'm going back as a substitute and have decided to put my teaching credential on hold for now.  Right now we are planning on me staying home with the baby and possibly continuing to substitute on Daniel's days off, if he continues to have his two days off on weekdays.
     Daniel is loving his job right now and we are so grateful we made the move to the desert.  I'm hoping that next summer brings us another move.  Daniel will be promotion-eligible and we both love the thrill of experiencing new places.
     This baby will be grandbaby #8 for my parents and grandbaby #10 for Daniel's parents.  It's awesome that he/she will have so many cousins including one just 3 months older!
