I have just a few more things to finish up in the nursery (finish binding my quilt, finish one more bumper, and put away all my baby’s adorable little clothes and things) but I thought I would share a quick update on the *almost* finished nursery.

My secret diaper storage, cleverly hidden behind the crib.

Extra storage for clothes and bedding etc.

I had gotten these storage crates as a graduation present (a few years back) and love them. I said something to Jason about setting them up. And he came up with the idea of hanging them on the wall. They are all independent of eachother so if we need to move one we can without moving the others. Plus I think it looks really cool how he has it set up. (Great job Jason!!!)

All the nursery furniture in place

We got the crib and mattress at once upon a child. The crib is in AWESOME condition, not a scratch on it. And the mattress was a nice Serta. All together we got it for $150.00. And the changing tabel I got at the All kids stuff sale.  For $15.00

The bumpers I made for the crib 🙂

I got my bumpers (well one anyway) done for the crib. My sis Karissa takes total credit for the  frog theme because she is the one that found the fabric and inspired the theme. (Nice taste K) I kinda had to make up my own pattern but I think that it turned out OK 😉

Some bibs that I made.

Blocks that I made.

These are just a few more of the little crafts I have made. Two of the blocks have little bells in them. And the one with ABC on it, I made out of some scrap  terry cloth from the bibs. I had some fun with these, and after I finish a few more pressing projects I’m going to make some more of both 🙂

If you want to make more projects like these, I found the patterns here. You can save a TON of money by making your own things, and buying second hand. I am just about ready to add up the total of what our nursery expenditure has been. I’ll post it when we do.

• Off to go see my hubby 🙂 #
• Wish i had packed a sandwich for lunch. That sounds Yummy. #
• Pouring over a years worth of bills and demanding refunds for unsolicited charges. Dont mess w/ the pregnant lady! #
• Hit off instead of snooze and woke up 15 min late. But only 2 min late to work so thats not bad. #
• Now we will go hunt kill and eat a hog. #
• Jason is a good hunter. We found it! #
• We are hunting down a fabric store … Hunt hunt hunt #

• So my belly is the oddest shape right now. Forget cute and round, this is more like bumpy and square. #
• Did you know that today is election day? Mostly school levy’s. #

WOW I can’t believe we only have 35 days left of me looking like I have a huge watermelon stuffed under my shirt, and feeling like I have a giant rolly-polly stuffed in my belly 🙂 It really has flown by, and yet this last month has gone by EXTREMELY slowly, and I am sure the next 35 days won’t be much better. I was thinking the other day about  “Remembering when” So I thought I would share with you some of the more amusing memories of pre-pregnancy/early pregnancy….

I Remember when…

I didn’t have to wear shoes that were a size larger than normal….

I could see my toes….

I LIKED sleeping with blankets….

I didn’t have a bladder the size of a walnut…

I could go from laying to standing without looking like a flipped over turtle trying to get up…

I could clean but didn’t feel like it, as opposed to wanting to do nothing but clean but can’t get off the couch….

I couldn’t be entertained for an afternoon by watching my belly change shape as the baby moves ( I actually like this one)

But this too shall pass and I will once again be able to wear cute shoes, and skirts and tank tops. And of course I won’t have to worry about my belly amusing me, because my SON will be amusing me. All in all this hasn’t really been that bad compared to other pregnancy “horror stories” I have heard, but trust me when I tell you, I wouldn’t complain if 35 days, was more like 25 days.
