bedding!!

i am so excited because my bedding came in yesterday. i had a really hard time picking something out...i was really stuck between wanting a modern/streamlined room or a sweet baby room. i have some folk art i really wanted to use in the baby room which has been nixed by everyone! (that includes the taxidermied vampire bat benson gave me for christmas last year. i know...we are strange. i might be one of the few females in existence whose eyes shone with excitement while opening her taxidermied, flying, sonar-using christmas present)

so after spending "X" (an amount of time that i am ashamed to admit) perusing websites showing different nursery designs, i decided it is better (and less expensive from a design aspect) to do the sweet nursery. the modern nursery accessories and furniture were more expensive...

so i drove my poor mother crazy every time we went to a baby store by disliking every bedding set she fawned over. i had a set in mind that i saw in a pottery barn kids magazine three years ago. dont ask why i was looking, or why i remembered it so exactly (i kept the magazine *just in case* we had an oops) but it was green and yellow with lambs and bunnies and i loved it. the animals were not cartoon-y which was the problem with a lot of the sets i saw in stores. it just looks old fashioned and simple. anyways! i finally realized i could probably find it on ebay somewhere...i did...and now its here!

without any further ado...

before my date with benson at horseradish grill at 26.5 weeks. thanks wards for the gift certificate!!

27 weeks. first day of 3rd trimester and one week from 7 months. i am starting to think that i am going to stop doing the belly baring pics....mom thinks it is cute and wants to see but she might be the only one! i think i am going to lose my innie belly button soon which really concerns me. i am also still immensely happy to not have stretch marks, but that might not last forever. i am starting to have some of the third trimester side effects--getting up and down is harder, and yikes, the colostrum has arrived! (yes, that is a stuffed pig on my bed. am i too old to sleep with a stuffed animal?)

this is the baby quilt. my sweet parents are coming next week to help us get the room ready! cant wait!!!!!!
