Baby Updates


Today we heard the heartbeat! It was an amazing experience.


Other random baby updates:


  • We are NOT going to find out the gender.

  • The nursery bedding is going to be made from my previous Pottery Barn duvet cover. I had it for only a couple months before we got all new stuff from the wedding. It is green with different size yellow, white, red, and turquoise stripes in it. My Grandma is a excellent seamstress and is going to make it all. All I need to do is find some coordinating fabric. (will post pics as soon as I have some)

  • I think the walls are going to be a butter yellow.

  • I want a dark crib -- not black, but definitely dark brown.

  • I do not a specific changing table. There are these things that you can buy to go on top of a long dresser that are perfect. Then, you are not stuck with a piece of furniture that will never be used again.

  • The bassinet that Baby M will sleep in for the first couple weeks / months is a family piece -- baby will be the 13th baby to use it.

  • I am still feeling great! Still no morning sickness and the exhaustion that I had at the beginning is practically gone.....

  • I HATE buying maternity clothes and wish that Banana Republic would sell them.

I love that your picking dark wood. I am not a fan of white furniture. I laughed about the maternity clothes. They have a great selection out there now days think about what it was like in the 80's and 90's. Haha. Also, no you don't know me, but i stubbled upon your blog and I like it. Congrats on the baby!

I have to admit that buying some good maternity clothes from Gap or Ann Taylor Loft is SO worth it. They can be pricey, but I wore them over and over and over again! Enjoyed reading your blog!

Awww, so exciting. I'm so glad that you're feeling so good--I'm sure when I'm preggers that I'll be sick as a dog, but, of course, am hoping otherwise... Eee! I'm just so excited for you. How fun.
