our little nest

So, they say that "nesting" is a sign of labor (don't read that link if you don't want to know some... stuff....)
Is this considered nesting??

I've been really wanting to decorate and color-ify our apartment.. I thought these would be cute little ways to make our place a little homier. 

 One of my Christmas gifts from "Stanta"

I've always wanted an Etsy print... but I've never been able to fork over the money.  So I thought I'd ask for this for one of my gifts!  Looks like I was a good girl 2011!

Then I went to Costco and printed some small free printables.  

(the first print is not crooked on the wall.. i promise)

This was my big project before baby came. 

Remember when I did some crafts? 

I wanted to some more and decorate. So I finally did!

I've been wanting to do this cork board map project since September, but I didn't have the motivation to do it.  About a week ago, I thought, "Let's do this thing!" so I spent a few hours working on this baby.  I'm still working on trying to make it look nicer.. so if you have any suggestions, let me know. 

I'm thinking about pinning some of the big cities we've been through... or doing a route through the U.S. of our road trip... but still undecided.  That's why it's a little plain.  But it looks a lot nicer/larger on the wall than the picture makes it seem. 

We're really crossing our fingers that baby boy comes this weekend.  It'd work very nicely into our schedules... so maybe send us your labor-inducing thoughts this way?  

Thanks.
