Things that go Bump in the night

Happy Halloween!

As you can see, pregnancy has made me not too self-conscious or concerned about looking pretty all the time :)   Bill was shocked when I put on this little get-up. I'm normally so girlie and pre-pregnancy I would have never fathomed dressing up like this. And then going to a party. A party where I didn't know everyone and someone actually asked me if I was pregnant. HA. I told him I just really like beer.

We're now officially in nesting mode at our house. We have a crib, the bedding for the crib, and some other decorations for the nursery (I <3 Ebay!), and Bill completely cleaned and rearranged our office. We have two extra bedrooms, an office and a guest room. The office we use everyday and we both work from home from time to time, so it was not feasible to give up for the nursery. Plus the room gets considerably warmer than the rest of the house. So our guest room will serve as the nursery but we'll leave the double bed in it and half of the furniture. We're adding a crib, changing table and glider for baby Bill. It won't really have a theme but it'll be decorated in baby blue and dark brown. The furniture is cherry colored. I'm having fun decorating, it is one of the things I enjoy best about owning a home, and every time we buy something for the nursery I have to pinch myself and remind myself this is for our baby. It won't be wrapped up and taken to someone else's baby shower for someone else's baby, where I won't be sitting with a plastic smile on my face and glassy eyes. Now I get to take these things home and sometimes, if I let my mind go, I can see baby Bill everywhere; in our home, in our lives, in our hearts. It's incredible how it takes no time from being somewhat self-centered in a human nature kind of way to being baby centered in a this-is-biggest-thing-we've-ever-had-to-look-forward-to kind of way.

Here's a picture of the nursery bedding and the decorations that came with it. It's everything you can see in the picture, minus the furniture, but our crib looks very similar in color and style. And the chandelier. I assure you there will be no chandeliers in our nursery...
