{baby update time}

So I know I've been a slacking blogger lately. I just haven't had a desire to update for some reason. Mark and I have been busy doing lots of stuff and I've got tons of pictures, so maybe sometime I will feel like blogging about our past adventures.

In the mean time the baby keeps getting bigger and moving like crazy. I swear he's doing flips in my stomach! I'm at 31 and 1/2 weeks and starting to freak out! I can not believe how fast time has gone by. In about 2 months I will be having this baby, or sooner if he decides to come early (but lets hope not). I'm not ready yet. I still feel like there is a million things I still need to do and then there's me... I'm a mess when I think about actually taking care of a tiny baby. I guess I will figure it out, plus my mom and dad will be coming out a week after my due date to help me out. Here's an updated picture of me that we took today. I feel so big, but know that I'm really not that big.

I'm starting to get more uncomfortable. I do good at work, but at night my hips and ribs sometimes hurt. It's hard to find a comfortable sitting position, but oh well. Nothing too bad. During the week I make it all through work and I'm not too tired, but then the weekend hits and I have to take long naps on Saturday and Sunday in order to feel better. I feel hungry a lot, but not as many things sound good to me and then when I eat I get full really fast and two hours later I'm starving again. Craziness. I am grateful that I really don't have any problems. Let's hope the rest of the pregnancy goes this way. The only thing I'm sad about is my wedding ring doesn't fit over my knuckle easily, so I've stopped wearing it which I hate, but I'd rather it not be stuck on my finger!

Baby stuff....Oh how I love having someone else to shop for clothes for. I like buying things for me, but I really love buying cute little baby clothes. I found this website called Crazy 8 and I love it. They have cute clothes, pretty cheap, especially the ones on sale! I got a couple shirts that are 0-3 months and they are too cute! Plus they are thick good quality material. These are some of the ones I got:

I'm working on figuring out what to do for crib bedding. I didn't like any bedding "sets" that I could find so I got some fabric I love and I'm looking for a coordinating soft solid fabric to go with it. Then I plan to make bumpers and a crib skirt. I have sheets that are blue and brown dots that will go with it. Also Mark's mom mentioned that she may want to make a quit for him, so if she does I will have her use this fabric as an accent with other solid color blue, green, and brown to match. This is what the fabric looks like:

When I first found it I just knew I had to have it. I love that it's animals, but that it's not cheesy animals. I love the modern feel to it, but it's still kiddish. So hopefully my sewing skills will be enough for my project ideas. I've seen some other people use this fabric on the internet so I have a pretty good idea of what to do. We want to get this crib from Ikea, we have the dresser already for him. I'm not going full out decorating a "nursery" for him mostly because we will be moving by the time he is 6-7 months old. So it's kinda pointless, but I will probably decorate some. I want to use photographs of zoo animals blown up and possibly in black and white, but I'm not sure. But that is about it for now. I will try to keep the blog better updated, but I can't guarantee it!
