night shift + pregnancy = 3:30 am blogging

It's 3:30 am and here I sit on the couch blogging. After working from 5pm to 5am yesterday I was so excited to fall asleep at a normal hour (11pm) tonight with Ben. However my excitement was short-lived as my internal clock (aka my bladder) woke me up at 1am. Oh the joys of night shift and pregnancy.

But what a great opportunity to surf the internet! And think about decorating the nursery! And blog about all of it! Unnecessary confession: I've spent the last two hours on my computer looking at fun ideas and projects and I'm still not tired at all. In fact, I can't wait to get started.

Here's where my internet surfing has taken me tonight:

- Pennant banners. I'm excited to do one over the crib or changing table. I love the tutorial at this site but etsy also has some great ideas.


-Stuffed elephants. Don't ask me why they call to me, but I think they make the cutest decor. I found these ones on Etsy.com, and although they're adorable, I just can't justify spending $45 on one. I'm content just looking for now.


- Baby pictures of Ben and me. This isn't internet surfing (we're not that famous yet), but I've been perusing my computer of pictures of Ben and I as babies to hang in the nursery.

I like these ones...








but this one has always been my favorite of Ben.
I'll be forever grateful if the baby gets his eyes.

That about sums up the last 2 (now 3) hours of my life. Now to get some sleep. After such fun internet surfing, I'm hoping to dream of colorful pennant banners and stuffed elephants. I can wish, can't I?
