I haven't posted for a while and this is why, I've been getting all the baby stuff ready. You may be thinking, oh why is her baby due next week? The answer is no, I am a little OCD. I just don't want to be doing everything at the end, or during the holidays, or even worse after the baby gets here. So this my baby cupboard, I made a list, and I have bought everything from, nursing pads, to formula, to new binkis, etc.
I also painted the room this week. Yes I know I am having a girl, and yes both their rooms are blue. But the picture doesn't do the color justice, because really it is a bright turquoise color. My next step, I think is to put polka dots all over the walls, and I need to make a few decorations. But I'm so close to being done. My goal is to have it done before Thanksgiving.
I don't know what has gotten into me lately, making me think I can make things myself. But I just haven't found anything I like to buy, so I've made made everything. I made the bumpers, a quilt (which I forgot to take a pic of I just realized,) and the crib skirt. And I think they really turned out good. The bummer is they didn't have enough of the fabric I wanted to make my fitted crib sheet so I'm not sure what to do, I have some plain ones, but they're just not as cute.
Also I made two changing pad covers, they were really simple. But I do need to figure out how to make a mobile, and that might be a little bit hard, we'll see.
Anyway, now that I'm prob. 95% done with all the baby stuff I should be back to normal life. Hope everyone has a good holliday.

You are smart to get it done early. That way you are prepared and you don't have to buy everything at once and end up spending a couple of hundred dollars all at once. Your bedding and the bedroom are super cute. Way to go you!
Everything turned out so cute! I'm excited to see it in real life in a week, I can't wait!
Super cute! I love the color and all the bedding. You have to take a pic when the room is all done.
love it-super cute. do you have a name picked out?
Look at you all pregnant and nesting!! I am very jealous of your skills, I love Reese's little chandelier thing so creative, did you just use paper for it? Props to you mamma!!
Oh and I totally have that same udder cover, did you get it for free when they ran that special, sweet 30 bucks for just shipping how awesome was that!!
i'm uber impressed with you. you're so much better than i am! i actually am going to have to take a trip to the store today to get some more diapers for the little man. her room looks so cute, and score on all the clothes!! i'm ready for camden to get a little bigger since we only have like 5 up to 7 lb outfits...
Didn't you just show me that material to make her stuff like a week ago? You are freaking awesome. All I have done since then is think, "man I really should call Katie to help me work my sewing maching so my husband doesn't have to wear church pants with a whole in the crotch"...yup true story, so don't look at church k? The baby's room is darling! You do such a good job:)
So did you make your Thanksgiving deadline? I went baby hunting this last week (quite discouraging) and wished I knew how to sew like you did. Maybe one day. But in the end I found something that might work so hope has been rekindled. Love you - talk to you soon.
Good job on being prepared, the baby room is so cute, I'm so excited for you!
