They say that during pregnancy, dreams get more vivid than ever and I gotta say – they do! Almost every night it’s like story after story that makes me go “whuuuttt…??” in the morning. I actually look forward to sleeping every night. I never fully feel relaxed because of the constant nausea and headache and bedtime is no exception so I really look forward to going to bed. But, it’s also cuddle time with my husband (to his dismay) so that makes me happy.
One night, I dreamt that a tiger was hunting me and my mom’s dog Brandy down in my lola’s old house in Forbes (Shere Kahn??). I had to keep on running after Brandy because he was clueless with the danger he was in! I finally had to pull myself awake because we reached the kitchen and the only thing separating the tiger and me was the kitchen swing door! Last night, I dreamt Chris and I had a fight and so I decided to go to the gym and do some spinning. After my session, I realized I had a hard time pedaling on the bike because the resistance level was set to the highest and then I remembered that I was pregnant so I got worried if it did any harm to the baby. When I woke up this morning, I sleepily told Chris about the dream and he said “So… you decided to get back at me for whatever we were fighting about with our BABY???” Egadz.
After making myself a lunch of garlic chorizo, scrambled eggs and brown rice (because everything else in my fridge just looked yech), I did a bit of cleaning around the condo before sitting down because God knows when I sit down on the couch or on my office chair, it’ll be a long while before I can get up. I moved to my office to do a bit of work and got to thinking more about the room.
So, we’ve been clearing out our 2nd room (aka my office!) for the past month and now we’re down to our last few items. 
- My desk
- Bookcase
- Chris’ Bike
- Travel Map
- Makeup Storage Cabinet (left of the desk slightly hidden)
- 2 tier shoe rack (not in photo)
- Side table
It’s a mess. I know. Looks more like a storage room. I know!
So, I decided that my beautiful white desk will go to Cecile’s apartment 1 floor above me as well as the book case and the sidetable we can keep to put beside the crib (same finishings so at least I know it matches). Chris’ bike has NOT been used ever since I gave that to him (shakes fist!!) and the shoe rack I suppose we’ll have to give it away. But…. my makeup storage cabinet. My lifeline! How could I part with it?? Maybe I can squeeze it in my already tiny bathroom. I’ll have to rearrange some things but I can make it work! I’ll have to convince Chris that this is a fantastic idea so that I won’t need to part with my beloved blushes and bronzers!
Here are a few of my ideas for the baby room:
All pictures taken from Google and Pinterest.
I wanted a unisex scheme for the baby room and I figured soft shades of Green, White, or Grey are the best colors for this. Or if we keep it to basic white, we can play around with pops of colors like orange, green and blue! These pegs have small sized rooms so I know this can totally work. Just have to figure out how to fit my beige black out curtains in the design because I can’t have them changed anymore. And I already have a small foam blue single couch that can be rolled out into a bed. I figured I needed a comfy seat here in this room as well as a bed for the yaya to sleep on. But I definitely want to paint the walls a different color! So more or less, the color palette that I currently have are blue, brown, and beige. Ugh. How do I fit all that in the pegs that I have above?
Or, maybe if this little thing ends up being a boy, I don’t have to change too much!
Okay, I just checked the time and it’s 3:00 PM. It had to be because I was falling asleep on my chair already. I gotta nap if I want to be good company later at my sister’s birthday dinner.
