more nursery pics and dinner

we got the crib put together, and i got the mattress for it today. all i have left to do is accessorize (and paint the rocker and nightstand)! i'm having too much fun. :) we're keeping a twin bed in the room for when guests are over, we'll have violet sleep in our room. i'm going to add some more colored pillows- maybe get a different bedspread (that's just an extra one we've had). i've got a lot more to do, and i'm loving it! brian just makes fun of me and my "nesting." i don't care! :) hahaha






i'm also posting a picture of my healthy, yummy dinner. i didn't have any meat, but i had some veggies i needed to use, so i made veggie couscous topped with feta cheese. i LOOOOVE couscous. i may have blogged about this before. i took a picture of the brand i like. it has omega-3's, fiber, flax seed, soy protein, and whole wheat, and the flavor is really good- it doesn't taste like health food. all that is REALLY good for violet, and the veggies and garbanzo beans just add more good stuff to make her super smart and healthy in my belly (which i also took a picture of!). but don't worry- don't think i'm all health-crazed because i don't want to get fat- i let myself have some yummy raspberry sherbet for dessert!! i don't care if i gain 700 lbs, i just want violet to be as healthy as possible, so i like eating healthy for her. :) the veggies i used were roasted tomatoes, garlic, red onion, spinach, asparagus, and garbanzo beans, and i topped it with feta cheese. you guys should really try couscous if you haven't yet!

You're so cute with your little nesting blog! :) The whole thing is adorable! What color are you going to paint the rocker and nightstand? I wish I didn't have to work and I could be the "nesting assistant!" I'll have to try some couscous... seems like a weird thing to crave. :)
Love you!
