It's driving me insane...already
Okay so if you saw my last post you know that I was really looking forward to my baby shower this past Saturday. "But you're only 22 weeks" you say...I realize it was super early for a shower...BUT when your family is spread out over multiple states and all have different schedules you just have to make it work! My awesome sister B {that is actually what we call her} is kicking butt and taking names while interning at Riley Children's Hospital in Indiana {she is back in school becoming a music therapist} so needless to say her weekends were slim pickins and the pickins got even slimmer when you consider that I'm in event planning and can't do certain weekends. So with only a few things...you can see why we did it super early.
It was SO much fun and her and my mom did such an amazing job creating yet another beautiful shower for me! {They did my bridal shower last July}. It is so hard to pick a favorite thing about the shower...but one of my favorite things had to be that my mom made like 6 different diaper cakes.
Each cake sat on a different table as a centerpiece and was themed a different way! A bath time cake, a nursing cake, a bed time cake, a safety cake...they were SO cool! Each cake had different items for whatever it was. My favorite part? Each cake had a bottle of champagne inside so we can crack open a bottle of bubbly for each year OR each month...for the first few months at least-toasting that...yay we haven't died from exhaustion or killed each other yet!!! All in all it was a beautiful shower. It was about 1/2 the size of my bridal shower which was so great because I actually got to talk to everyone...and by talk to, I mean got to say more than Hi thanks for coming.
The whole it's driving me insane already? We got SO much stuff at the shower...
J and I decided when registering that we would not register for any clothes, only items we absolutely needed because knowing our friends and family...the clothes would come. And man it's a good thing we didn't! I think every single person got us at least one outfit...in addition to the registry items.
That isn't so much driving me insane because everyone was so generous and so excited for J and I...the insanity comes with the fact that I have done NOTHING to the nursery closet yet....all that is inside of it is the shelf/rack that came standard with our home when we built it. It is impractical and ugly and I have been dreaming on pintrest about all of these really cool storage solutions. All the gifts and clothes have only been sitting in the room for a few weeks and it is already driving me nuts that nothing has a place yet...

I dream of a cloest that looks like this. Everything has a place and all the hangers match and the baskets hide anything that doesn't match everything else....this is my goal
I know, I know...I have PLENTY of time. But what if I don't? What if something happens and I get so insanely busy with the rest of life that I can't do it the way that I want?....The way I think is right.
I guess I am over reacting but if you have been around on DIY Davis Style for long you know that I am a little AR and definitely OCD about organization, Hudson is just our first and I am putting a lot of pressure on myself to do it right.
But in reality.... I haven't done it because it overwhelms the shit out of me and makes me want to throw up just looking at all the stuff accumulating in our nice clean home....AHK
Yep...back to denial....it's a lonely river but I'll make my way up it eventually....
Now, since those clothes and things don't exist....we will just go about our normally scheduled day...
Hope you're having a good one!!
