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.

So I occassionaly browse etsy for cute ideas.
so who wants to make these for me?
and these?
and I want to make this, but I have no idea how. ideas?

On to more fun matters.
Baby stuff. hehehe

The day after we find out the sex of the baby, the nursery will be done.
ok maybe not entirely, but rest assured, it will be super close.
I have it all designed, purchased and layed out for either gender, more so for a girl but thats because it just has more stuff in it.
We want to tell our parents the gender in a fun, special way, instead of just a phone call, so we have decided to invite them both for a dinner that night and order a cake that will give it away with the color the inside of the cake will be.
We are just having trouble deciding if we will invite others, a sibling and maybe Grandmas.

I have an appointment this morning with a new OBGYN that got perfect ratings online and takes like a year to get an appointment with unless your prego. I just wasn't totally in love with the OB I have been seeing, so I am gonna change it up. The only thing this changes is now we will have to deliver in the Murray IHC hospital. Which is fine, it just means my parents will have to drive farther.

I am kind of excited to see him, because I have been having the weirdest symptom. I keep burping! its like non stop, 10 times an hour I burp. its gross and I am hoping there is something they can give me for that.

Advice: I know I need a comfy chair in the nursery, but I really don't want to get a glider. They are big and ugly. Have any of you just had a regular rocking chair, or anything else you really liked?

Kinda like this one...

I just want something small for the corner.

I love that there are a bunch of people pregnant at the same time as me. :) It makes me really fun. I thought everyone that could be pregnant already was and had their little ones but there is a whole new bunches of people that are due from 2 months before me, to 2 weeks after me. loooove it.
