Beverley Mitchell’s Blog: When I Nest, I Nest

Thanks for welcoming our newest celebrity blogger,Beverley Mitchell!

Best known for her role as Lucy Camden on the long-running drama 7th Heaven, the actress most recently played Kaitlin O’Malley on The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Mitchell, 32, and husband Michael Cameron have announced that they’re expecting their first child —a daughter! — in April.

You can find her on Facebook, WhoSay and Twitter@beverleymitchel.

In her latest blog, a 39-weeks-pregnant Mitchell writes that she hopes for just a bit more time to finish the nursery — and shares her maternity portraits.

It is truly remarkable how quickly 39 weeks can fly by! At the beginning, it felt like this whole pregnancy thingwas going to take forever but here I am, wishing for just a little more time.

We are so excited to meet this little miracle but I can’t help but hope for a few things to be done before she gets here. I know — she won’t know the difference and the only thing she really needs is her parents, but the perfectionist in me wants the house to be just right; the nursery done to the nines.

Michael and I have been busting our buns to complete our home renovation, and it was no small feat considering we repainted every surface of the house, put in new carpet, new tile, new fireplaces, all new furniture, new wallpaper, brand-new windows, all new lighting and re-insulated the whole house.

We really took this house project to a whole new level — I guess when I nest, I really nest!
