      Watching you and Romeo putting the galaxy on the wall and you putting the big dipper where it will be when baby is born made me cried so hard! It brought back 50 years ago when I had my first child, a son, and how magical and special that moment in time was and how there is nothing like it, except when he is placed on your chest for the first time.and you feel him and smell him and know he is finally here!

      ​​​@@XOMaCennaI'm just wondering does your mom get to see the makeover as we do back in Texas? I'm thinking she has a backstage pass😂. Also I'm thinking she will be in the guest bedroom when baby arrives... Perhaps a mini makeover for her space too. I'm sure you and Mom will be on the bed talking with the baby in the middle 😂 You're just so great at creating the perfect atmosphere.❤

    In 1973 when I was expecting my first child, I found a beautiful wood rocker. We were just starting out and it was out of our price range but my husband worked extra hours to get it 31:18 for me. I also would sit in it before she was born and just look at the nursery. Years later I bought a small brass plaque engraved with the date I received it and attached it to the bottom rocker. I gave the rocker to my daughter when she was expecting her first child! Your nursery is lovely!

      I have one of those 1940's rockers that was originally given to a family in Pasedena, CA for their newborn. On the bottom was a taped card telling the story. The chair was sold out of San Gabriel Valley.. I stripped down 7 coats of paint to is'ts natural wood. It's gorgeous..

      Funny my first born was in 1973. Also times where so differnt then. I remember trying to hide the baby bump. And pregnancy wasn't a big deal. But I was only 17 yrs. Old & things where so much simpler. Some times I wish it was back to being like that. The best times in my life I had very little. I made a baby dress out of scraps of fabric. I sewed togather to even have enough. And it was a treadle machine. You had to pump to make it run. With your feet. After all that, because you rarely had a ulta sound. He was a little boy. But one dress wasn't going to really work our anyways. My greatest joy when pregnant besides the joy of having a baby. Was a couple of real maternity outfits. Otherwise it was tear the seams in your jeans & sew in elastic. And a few tops that where just a bigger size. We never wanted the baby bump to show if we could possible avoid it somehow. 😊

    just being realisitc - if the room is feeling tight now and you haven't even brought in any toys, clothes, etc, its not going to be functional after even a few months. it's more important to make the room work for those living in the house - i'd recommend removing the guest bed and putting in a sofa bed -either in this room or the living room. just being realistic, babys may be small but they do require a lot of storage, and within a few months are going to start needing toys. the room conor that doesnt have a closet and can barely fit 3 pieces of furniture is not going to work

    • @ang_131
      @ang_131 Před 3 měsíci +21

      For now, this totally works. Tiny babies don’t need a big room. They don’t spend any time in. They haven’t collected any toys. Right now, having a guest room for her mom to visit when baby comes is more important. I was the same. We didn’t even convert our guest room into the nursery until my first baby was almost 5 months old and ready to move out of our bedroom. Having that extra guest space was too important.

I lost my husband 8yrs ago and at the time our daughter was 6, she is now 15. We were married for 18yrs and tried for 3 years to have a baby. She was our biggest blessing and this episode brought back so many wonderful memories of us decorating her nursery. Thank You Macenna for sharing your life. I cried when you all found out about your pregnancy❤.

    MaCenna, when you said you wanted to sit there before the baby came it reminded me of when I was expecting my first. We had no money, but we were given a new crib and a bentwood rocker. We painted the room and put in a carpet remnant and some blue curtains from JCPenney. I made a little quilt with puppies on it. I loved sitting in there at night, pregnant and dreaming about my new baby. Treasure this time; it's so wonderful. Your nursery looks beautiful.

    Mom since 1994 - buy the ottoman for the rocker, darker shades help baby sleep a bit longer. Floor lamp vs table lamp. Small side table for your pump and for a surface holding a cup of whatever you are drinking. if there’s storage in it even better (blanket, burp rag, other feeding accessories). Don’t get too caught up in a changing table for a dresser. Any flat surface is good for baby. The height is based on your height and comfort bc you don’t want to bend over too far. Baby will eventually be able to grab anything within reach of his crib (moon light switch/cord, the shades, anything on the dresser if it’s close enough). bolt the dresser to the wall and any bookshelves bc they will climb them - had a boy and girl and they were both climbers. This room is beautiful and this baby has won the mommy/daddy lottery!! OH one last thing maybe paint whatever constellation is in the sky the day he’s born but that will have to wait of course 😊😊

    Covering the moon cord was a great idea, and you'll likely have zero problems while he's an infant. However, if he's anything like our son, his little fingers will pull at that small exposed area of cord. Perhaps you could run the cord horizontally above the beadboard (with a cover) away from the crib? Just remember that anything those little fingers can explore, they will! Beautiful, dreamy space for your baby, and we wish you every happiness!

      I would say once he's big enough to start to pull himself up, I'd remove the ladder and just move the moon over to that side of the space. It will still look cute and be off center, but he won't be able to reach it. Unless he's a crib-scoocher, of course...my friend's son would scooch his crib across the floor and she'd find him in odd places until she bought rubber things that look like flat cups to put the legs of the crib in. They're actually made to protect floors from damage from furniture. That kept it in its place! 😂

    Love the styling so far. I also understand that this is your/their life. However, if it was me, I would just make the rest of the room the master bedroom for when the baby is little and you want to have them always beside you. Give up the downstairs master for a guest for now until you want that time apart. As I said, it's your life. Looks very sweet. Good luck with everything

    Adorable! You are probably going to want a small side table by the chair, you will be surprised how often you will need it!! Can even be a cute little cart that can hold extra supplies like tissues, burp cloths, sound machine (which is a Godsend) etc. Also, if you want any tiny shooting stars, place a dot with your paint pen and then quickly and lightly swipe it with your pinkie finger, that way it's not too much pressure and won't make a smudge. You can hide extra diapers and supplies in a trunk at the end of the guest bed, too. Good luck with your hunt for the right dresser!!

They had a recent video showing their 'moon' end tables, peel & stick decal set, etc; but what really made me think of you is a lovely quilt for the guest bed that comes in multiple monochromatic color ways. Since the actual quilting is a chart of the 'phases', it results in a sophisticated but still unique design to tie the entire room together. Your paint color, bead board & small details are absolutely precious for the most important 'project' you will ever create 🥰! Sending hugs, love & prayers for continued health, energy & unbridled joy through your 3rd trimester 🙏🏻💜!

    From a mom to a mom: I love all this! But I do think it will feel cramped as he starts to grow.
    I think a great idea would be to make the WHOLE room continued as this.
    And then, in the nook where you currently have the “nursery” put an adult bed that can pull out for double bed for multiple guests while still taking advantage of the bigger space for baby boy. You will need it. Trust me 🥹
    Stunning design!! Just do it in the entire room!!!

      There's just enough room for a pretty smallish brass floor lamp behind the chair. Since there's not a lot of space, the table will need to be on the small side and a lamp would take up so much room. Vintage would be lovely, if it could be found, but i'd definitely buy dimmable bulbs with a remote so it could be dimmed, etc without having to get up and mess around with the lamp.

    I guess I’m just curious as to why out of the whole room you only used a small corner for the babies space? The guest area is taking up more of the room yet no one’s sleeping in that bed everyday or using up that space. You could have made the babies space the room and the guest area the small area and put like a nice sleeper sofa that could also double as babies reading area. I just feel like the small space will get old really fast. Babies come with lots of clothes, items. You made the space so beautiful but too small!

    Honestly, you will likely want the glider down in your main living area for the time you keep your baby in the primary room. You will want a side table with a dimmable lamp, an area to set a water bottle, and pumping equipment if needed. You'll figure it out. Just be prepared to use the rocker where your baby will be.

    When I had my first baby, my husband adjusted the boxspring and mattress higher when we brought the baby home so that it wasn't a 'long' reach when picking the baby up out of the crib. He put the box spring and mattress back down to where you have yours now when the baby got older and moved around more. By doing this, it saves on Mommy's back.
