A trip to the fabric store...

Renee, Ashton, and I took a trip to Fabricmart today.

"This is hard!" Is what we kept saying to eachother.

3 hours later we made some great finds :)

(This post is mostly for Ms. Laura the sewing goddess who will be will be making our nursery look amazing.)

Fabric for the bedskirt

Fabric for the curtains

Fabric for the glider (blue is the back side)

$3 Ikea frame and phots that inspired the colors for the fabric

Fabric for the bumpers



Fabric for the quilted blanket



29 Weeks

Wow 29 weeks is BIG!
Went to the doctor this week and all looks good. I am 21 pounds heavier than I started and Meatwad is doing great!
I went walking on Saturday with my friend Meg before we hit some yard sales and my old volleyball spandex from high school are all that really fit well now.
PS belly botton is out on the top and still in on the bottom :)

Queens Hospital Tour

Tom and I took a tour of Queens Hospital

Everything looked great!

Wow, there were a lot of pregnant women in one place!

We saw the brightest rainbow ever on the way there. The picture does not do it justice:)

26 Weeks Weekly Update... a few days late.

So my great friend Renee, (who has helped and supported me every step of the way) and I have started to think of as "The Baby Guru," gave me these questions to add to my weekly blog.

Funny school story...

So I see my former students all day as I walk from one part of campus to the next. They always are shouting out, "Hi Mrs. Britt!" So, lately they have been yelling (from pretty far distances) "Hi Baby Britt" I guess I am noticable from a far, or atleast Baby Britt is. I wonder if I should tell them the name is Meatwad? hahaha




I also found my line leader very close to me when we were getting ready to walk to the farm.  I leaned over to hear her talking to my belly!!!!!! Maybe a little weird, but I thought it was really really cute! I love my kids :)
