Nick dragged me to Best Buy yesterday... then surprising me with a camera for my birthday present! He agreed it could be partly his birthday present too, since it was more money than we usually spend on birthday presents. It's something that we both really wanted though, mostly to take good keepsake pictures of our new baby. I don't think an iPhone camera would suffice for that!
This is my favorite photo that I've taken so far:

Nick said that this is his first camera (other than the one on the iPhone). I think it's about time he got a good one then after 30 years! Yep, he'll be turning the big 3-0 August 19th.We got a Nikon D3000 DSLR camera. We're both loving it so far. We're definitely still learning...but it's a fun new hobby.
Here is a sneak peek of the nursery!
The furniture is all from Nick's aunt and uncle who have a three year old who no longer needs it. It was perfect timing for us! We love it! It fits perfectly in our tiny room and it's all that we really needed. The crib still needs a little tweaking, because it has a drop-side. We got some bolts and are planning to bolt the side in so there's no room for wiggling there.
I made the curtain out of cotton and ribbon. It's the perfect topper to our blinds we got when we moved in.
We painted the room in this neutral green when we first moved in two years ago. We love the warmth of it.
We got new carpet in the upstairs and downstairs about a year ago. That's a neutral beige and very cushiony.
My mother in law made the blankie that she placed on the glider there.
My mom is making a butterfly quilt for the wall.
I have started to make a butterfly mobile for above the crib.
I have begun to buy some clothes, wash them, and put them away.
I love the way it's turning out! It's such a cozy room. Sometimes I just go and sit in the glider and watch the kitties and puppy run around in the room, imagining a little baby in there too. It's definitely becoming more real! 15 weeks to go!:)Cara
