Cribs

I finally ordered Porter's nursery furniture!... Well, let me be honest, I finally ordered MY nursery furniture. I think the nursery is more about what I want than what Porter wants because I don't think he will really care about the aesthetics of the furniture as much as I will. After looking at every crib out there I finally found one that I think fits what I am looking for. My first criteria was a black crib with simple straight lines. I also really wanted a bassinet despite being told that it would only be used for a few weeks. I just picture a baby going in a bassinet or crib. So, when I found a crib that converts from a bassinet I finally felt justified in spending the money on a bassinet. So I ordered the bassinet with conversion kit to a crib and the six drawer dresser. The bassinet came with the mattress pad and two white sheets. I also ordered the white bumper and a canopy support that attaches to the edge of the bassinet which I plan on hanging a mobile from. The crib also came with a mattress. It should all arrive November 16th. I cant wait! I hope Porter will like it. This is the Bam Collection by Argington if you were wondering.

10 weeks to go

I'm at 30 weeks this week. I feel like I'm passing the point of looking cute to just being big. I'm starting to feel the extra weight I'm lugging around. Its hard to believe that in just 10 short weeks we will have a baby. I really cant imagine what it will be like. We finished our Bradley class a couple weeks ago. I learned a lot, but I also learned that I really don't know what to expect. I'm enjoying having my energy back, having thicker hair than usual, and people being so nice to me. I'm not enjoying the extra weight and not being able to sleep on my back or get comfortable when I sleep. I'm obsessing over decorating the nursery. Thankfully I have patient friends help me look for the perfect decor and try to help me make some decisions.22 weeks - This is the week I felt like I could no longer hide that I was pregnant. I started to feel light bumps in my stomach.26 weeks - This is when I felt the best. I felt like a cute pregnant woman rather than just a woman with a beer gut. I also started feeling Porter move and kick more noticeably.I went to visit my mom in St. George for her birthday. A group of friends came over for brunch to shower me with some gifts. My mom took some t-shirts from Tom's last job with the clothing company and made a blanket and some onesies. I'm so excited for our little boy to be the most stylish kid on the block!I have an awesome ward. This is the shower they threw for me last Thursday. What a blast just to hang out with these women!Now onto actually ordering my nursery furniture. I bought a rocker and fabric to make crib bedding yesterday. I'm so excited for the crib bedding. I have looked everywhere for what I want and couldn't find it so I'm just going to have it made. The chair that will go in the nursery. I love this chair. Im very happy with this purchase.The fabric for the crib bedding. Im very excited about how this is going to turn out. Im meeting with "The Baby Guy" this Thursday to discuss making my crib bedding.
