26 weeks

Enjoy the peace and quiet while you can....

I am 26 weeks along today and only 14 more weeks to go! I can hardly believe it! It is still a long way, but at least I am closer to the end than to the beginning of my pregnancy now. I am starting to get that nesting feeling and just want to have everything done before the baby comes. We have knocked off a lot from the long list and we are in good shape at this point. Only a few more registry items, few more "fix-ups" around the home, and then to re-train our dogs. Yep, I am excited to see our dogs with the baby...but a little worried about how well they will behave. I am not concerned that they would harm the baby, just that they might feel so left out. They might never leave my side and be right up in the baby's business. We need to start establishing boundaries and will prepare them as much as we can before the baby arrives.

Boundaries.... what boundaries?

"You mean I have to share my

sun with a baby?!"

We finally ordered our crib, rocker and bedding for the baby this past weekend! I am so excited about the end result. The furniture will arrive in 4-6 weeks, but the bedding will take about 8 weeks. It is being made since it is SO hard to find cute neutral bedding. We ended up doing a mix and match pattern. I posted the fabric swatches. The main colors are green and white. The bumper will have orange piping and ties. So I decided to go crazy and have an orange chair with white piping. I know it sounds a little crazy...but I think it will be a good complement to the white furniture and brown walls. Some family and friends asked for pix of the samples...so here is one despite the coloring not being great.
