Diapers!

I ordered some Seventh Generation diapers on Amazon.com the other day because they are having an 'Earth Day' sale this month. Well, they arrived today.

Look! Our first (of many) diapers!!!

This should get us through the first three weeks after the baby is born. (I think I might order some more!)

Painting the nursery...

Today we finally started painting the nursery. It looks fabulous! My first idea was to have a white chair rail with this nice, chocolate brown color underneith. Well, now I am thinking about forgetting the chair rail and painting a sage green stripe above the brown instead. I can picture it and I think it would look really nice... it would coordinate with the bedding so well! I am getting excited just describing it!!!

Here's a before and after pic:

And here's a pic with the blanket from our bedding set.

(see the light green stripe above the brown!?)

'Fill in the Blankie'

I came across this site on-line and thought it was the cutest thing! What a great way to personalize a blankie for baby. They have several blanket styles and colors to choose from and seem to be pretty affordable. This would obviously make a great gift for a new baby, but also for birthdays, baptisms, Christmas, even Easter.

Once you choose the style and color blanket, you can create what each side of the blanket will say (it's embroidered around the edge). Then, you even choose a font and color of the font. So many choices! The only thing the site doesn't offer is a preview of your personalized blankie, so make sure everything is correct before you order!

16 Weeks!

Today I am exactly 4 months pregnant. And to celebrate, a few girlfriends and I got $10 lawn tickets to see NKOTB on June 3rd! :)

So... this week Baby Thomas is growing toenails and the pattern of his hairline is taking shape. He is also pumping 25 quarts of blood each day. In the next couple of weeks, he will double in weight! Right now, he's the size of an avocado and weighs about 3.5 ounces.



As for me, I am feeling great. I finally have my energy back so I no longer need to go to bed at 9pm. My tummy continues to get larger and hopefully I'll be able to feel the baby move in a couple weeks! We finished cleaning out the old office this past weekend. It took a lot of work! We are getting rid of the large computer desk because we have turned one of the guest bedroom closets into the new office! Yup...we now have our computer, file cabinet, a lamp, and all other office stuff in the closet. It actually works pretty well. When not in use, we can just close the doors and hide the mess. I guess the next project will be to paint the nursery. We'll put up a white chair rail and paint a nice, chocolate brown underneath. I think it will be beautiful with white furniture! The bedding we have is by Kidsline and it's called "Willow" . How adorable is that?!?! I am also planning on painting a couple wall art pieces to match. We'll see how that goes!
