Finally...a post!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here are a few pictures to start you out with...
This first picture is my inspiration on how I am going to paint the room. I am not using their colors, but the idea of the stripes. I will do the stripes on the bottom though, below the white molding or chair rail. Above the molding I am sticking to one color. I am not sure exactly what the colors will be just yet because I am waiting for the bedding to come in so I can match it with swatches. I will be doing a brown, blue, beige for sure and if it is a girl then I will add in a pink, lavender or a periwinkle color. Do you like it??!!


This next two pictures are of the bedding I ordered. This first one is an extra blanket I got that matches the bedding. The second picture is of the actual bedding. Its called Pinwheel and I ordered from this website called http://www.babysupermall.com/ . They have great prices and a great selection. And since Chris and I are unsure if we are going to find out the baby's gender, we thought this was good for either or! We are going to go with dark colored wood for the crib and dresser. We still need to pick that out and geez is it expensive!! Anyway...here it is...
(if you go to the website you can see it in more detail)






So I am FINALLY posting again!!! I know you all have been waiting, so here it is...


Sooooooooo...In a nutshell I am going to tell you everything that has been going on. I was released from my IVF doctor, (thank GOD!) at almost 12 weeks. Everything is moving a long on schedule. Chris went with me to my 'real' first OB appointment with Dr. Whittmann. That was a few weeks ago. He is very nice and we both liked him a lot. After that, we went to see the hospital where I would have this little blood sucker, (Ohh, being pregnant has made me have anemia...so as a joke, (MOM!), I call the baby a blood sucker!! Ha ha!). The hospital is in McHenry and its very nice. Here is the website if you want to check it out, http://centegra.org/ .The rooms are HUGE and I felt really comfortable there. So we are happy/excited about that. I have been feeling much better, little to no nausea at all. I have been really tired the entire time though. I can handle sleep, that's not a problem! So that's pretty much it for the moment. I will post more pic's as soon as I upload them. I have some belly pictures I need to put up too!

ummm...i think i like 'peanut' better than 'blood-sucker'. That's my grandchild you're talking about, ya know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what about doing the stripes like those in the blanket? then, you can either paint the white ones beige for a boy and whatever other color you like for a girl? I think it would look nice and airy with the bedding you chose (which i LOVE!).
ask baby what he/she would like...
