Baby Bump and Blanket

Welcome to week 28 of pregnancy! So as requested here is a picture of the baby bump (or "the beast" as Matt and I were calling it for a while). Fortunately I feel as though the growth has slowed ever so slightly in the last month. I'm sure my doctor will let me know if it hasn't next Tuesday when I visit. We were at the Thousand Oaks Gardens of the World when we finally took the picture. I'm not sure it does my belly justice but at least it is far enough away that the chubby checks are also harder to see :)

Here is the baby blanket that I tried to describe in an earlier post. I love it! Thanks Gail. We all ready have it on the crib just waiting!

Nursery

So the Crib and Changing Table are finally here. Not that I still don't have four months until the Baby should arrive. Thanks heavens for great moms who are help so much on getting our little nursery set up.

THE CRIB & CHANGER
Mom & Dad Conner helped us with these. We (actually I) was so excited to get the crib. It is my dream Crib but Matt would have been fine with clearing out a drawer in the closet for the Baby.


THE BEDDING

I found a bedding set that I fell in love with at the same place that I bought the Crib. The problem was that the bedding was 1.5 times the price of the crib. I showed it to Mom Roberts and she is going to make it for me! It gets even better than that. In the picture it looks a little wild so she is going to make a solid bed skirt that will ease me into the whole pink thing. But the style and colors will be very similar. Except that the only pink will be in the print and the other colors will be brown, beige and cream. She is also making many of the accessories that you see in the pictures just using slightly different fabrics based around the fabric swatch that is shown. I'm very excited!

CLOTHES

Jen Gibbs gifted me all of her daughters hand me downs. Take a look at this closet already. Matt claims she already has more clothes than him. It might actually be true. Not only are there tons of outfits but they are adorable. I think after seeing all of this you probably have noticed that this child is getting spoiled from all directions already and she hasn't even arrived yet. Only 113 days until the due date.
