Let the fun begin!!

Now that I know our baby is a boy, there is going to be less time for blogging, and more time for getting ready!
Yes, I realize its still months away, but I am not a procrastinator, quite the opposite with how impatient I am.
The nursery will be first. And the first part to that, is cleaning out the room that is now my closet. :( sniff sniff.
Then to paint the nursery, burnt orange. I HATE baby blue, hate it, my little boy will not be adorned in baby blue, nor will his room. baby green is ok, and orange is best.
Then Jason will need to put the furniture together, and the decorating can begin!
Sometime after the nursery is finished, the sewing can begin.
I need to sew the crib set, because there is nothing out there to my liking.

and of course I need one of these...

and the project I am really excited for, a bunch of these....

Everyone keeps talking about getting pee'd on when you have a boy and I refuse to believe that is an unavoidable event. I think there is no reason one should be coated in urine when a simple fabric cone could act as a barrier. So you better believe I will have at least 20 of these.

I know over the last 2 years I have seen TONS of craft type things I knew I would want when I had a baby, but now I can't remember them!!
help me out, point me to all the good craft blogs and projects you found helpful with a baby.
pretty please? :)

on a more serious note, now that I know its a boy, it feels completely different, and a little more stressful as far as being a parent. being pregnant is fine, there is very little responsibility, but now it is sinking in that there is one person inside me, not this shell that will one day be a person, a boy, a little boy that will one day grow into a young man that I am responsible for raising in the right way. I feel a huge weight, a huge responsibility, and I imagine it will only continue to grow. sigh.

Fun crafts! You'll be a great parent. Don't worry. It's a big responsibility that comes naturally. :)
