Y’all… I love interior design. I love working with a blank canvas and making something new out of it. I love using the creative side of my brain! The rest of my house has been a piece of cake to decorate and all. But man… This nursery might be the death of me. I have SO many ideas… But, I just can’t come up with the perfect idea! That’s a bit of my perfectionist coming out… So, I’m stuck. And not entirely sure what to do. I found the pieces I really want to base the room off of. But, just don’t know exactly what. Grrr.
Maybe it’s because this is my first child and I have put her room and myself at high standards to give her everything she could ever want? Or maybe it’s just my perfectionist coming out? I really don’t know.. So there is a lot of pressure!! Of course brought on to me by myself.
So, I know you aren’t here to read me babble. You’re here for a sneak peek, right?! Keep in mind… This is just the beginning of her nursery. Like, it’s not even close to being done!! So, we still have a lot of work to do. But, once we really get going.. It’ll be a piece of cake!
And…. Here… We…. GO!
So, like I said. Absolutely nothing special done yet. Just some sort of structure and literally the most important part of the room… The furniture.. Otherwise, where the heck is she gonna sleep?! But seriously though.. This. Is. It. Nothing more, nothing less. Except for the fact that we have taken the closet doors off and plan on redoing the closet for more storage and space. Other than that. Nothing. But I promise by the time our little girl arrives we will have a completed nursery. Which by then I hope I have a blog post on the completed project for you guys!! We will see. I want to make that a promise.. But the way things have been for me.. Well, I can’t… So, just bare with me y’all.
Now onto the next topic of this post…
NAME REVEAL FOR OUR BABY GIRL!!
Now to some this is a huge deal.. Well, I know it is for me. For the LONGEST time, like LONG before I got pregnant.. I knew exactly what I wanted to name my daughter if that is what The Lord blessed me with. And thankfully, my husband was totally cool with it. Actually we kind of made an unspoken agreement that I named our girls and he named our boys… With respect. Like, we still have to like the names we pick out.. And I know the naming process is hard… Some parents for the life of them can never agree on a name. Or, just can’t come up with anything. Like oh my goodness, I swear.. We had the hardest time coming up with names for a boy.. Thankfully we didn’t have to continue down that road! Haha
Okay, I’m SUPER anxious to share her name with you guys.. But I want to give you one clue first…
Any guesses yet? Hopefully this helped you out a little bit. If that didn’t help well.. Sorry, that sucks! Haha I’m totally kidding. Okay, okay… Here’s her name.
Anastasia Pearl ♥
I’M LITERALLY OBSESSED. Now.. I bet you’re wondering.. “Why go with that name?” Well, If you aren’t familiar with the movie Anastasia made by Universal… Well, go check it out. Cause this is mostly why I picked this name. Growing up this was THE MOVIE for me. Like, I watched it all the dang time!! Ask my parents… I sang the songs from the movie for YEARS! No joke… Again, my poor parents. They could probably quote the movie word by word, note by note. Haha! This movie had a lot of impact on me. I can’t exactly tell you what kind of impact.. But obviously enough of an impact for me to want to name my child this. ALSO…. According to Google, Anastasia means “Resurrection”. I mean think about it… (If you have seen the movie) A character by the name of Vlad explains to Anya (the main character), that the name Anastasia means “she will rise again”. So, there you go. When I really learned what the name meant.. Well, it was a given this is what I should name my daughter. And by golly that’s exactly what I’m going with. And Pearl? Well, it’s a family name actually. It is my middle name. And it is my great grandmother’s first name. So, that name also has a lot of meaning to me. So, why not!?
I don’t know about you… But I am in love with her name. And can’t wait to call her that when I get to meet her in August!!!!
And guys… I COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED!!! I can’t begin to explain!!
I am curious though… What were your thoughts on names? What did you think I was going to name her? I probably threw you for a complete loop!! But, let me know what you think or even what you predicted I was going to name her! I’d love to hear what you guys have to say!
XOXO, Whitney
