The Nursery
So Todd and I finally chose the furniture for our baby's room! We found the crib a while back at BRU, but I wasn't totally happy with the dresser and armoire that went with it. As most of you know, I'm a little particular, so I was looking for the perfect piece! I wanted a dresser with enough drawers, one that was practical and that can be used past age 4, a book shelf/hutch and a front-style changer. Well after searching high and low on the internet and actually going to five baby stores, we found it all!
The glider and ottoman are from BRU. It will be pretty much just like the picture; cherry wood with buckwheat fabric. The crib is also the one pictured; pretty much a dark cherry, but they call it espresso. And last but not least, by any means...the dresser/hutch/changer combo from Bellini! The style of the 6 drawer dresser is the one in white, but it will be in what they call mahogany. Ours will also have the hutch on it as pictured, but no mirror. The changer (as pictured on top of the mahogany dresser, will go where the mirror is. The changer attaches to the top of the dresser but can be removed when no longer needed. So....I got all the things I wanted and the best part is that it won't take up much space in our tiny 10 x 10' 8" room. It will however, take up a nice chunk of our savings account (lol!), but we think it's worth it! :)
Now I just have to finish cleaning out the room so we can fit all of this furniture in there! Lol! Wish me luck!
Oh! And don't forget to check out the name list from time to time...it has probably changed since you first saw it. we need your votes! :)

Countdown...17 days til the BIG U/S!!!
So nothing major has been going on since the last post except for the fact that the belly is growing by the minute! Ok, it's not that big, but it feels that way! I have a few more belly pix to post, including a night and morning pic that is hysterical, but I don't have them with me, so I'll post them hopefully tonight or tomorrow. I can't believe how much the belly swells throughout the day! It's literally like night and day! Lol (sorry, I couldn't resist)!
I am now 16wks and 2 days pg! The big, major ultrasound is in 17 days!!! Todd and I are super excited!!! We are pretty much convinced it is a boy because of Intelligender and fotrunebaby.com, but wouldn't it be funny if it was a girl now? I have already started my registry, and it's filled with lots of blue!!!
Actually Todd and I went to BRU (Babies 'R' US, for future reference) yesterday and I think we may have found the bedroom set we like. It's between one there and a set at good ole JCP, but the set at JCP doesn't have the dresser in the right color in stock, so I keep calling to check on it, but may just give up and go with the other set cuz I'm tired of waiting. The plan was to use my tax refund for the baby's furniture and that came, so now it's just sitting there burning a hole in my savings account. I started going thru all my stuff and clothes in there a while ago and just need to get some of those space saver bags to finish (which we may go get tonight) it up. We'll then have to rent a Uhaul to move and store the bedroom set that's in there now in mom and dad's basement, but for now it will sit in our garage so I can continue to clean out the room and feel like I'm making progress. :)
On our shopping trip,Todd and I bought a cute, cuddly and very warm looking winter cuddlesuit and the cutest brown little corduroy jacket (for a boy or girl)...I'll have to post some pix of those too. It was out first purchase for the baby, together.
Check back for pix.
