I am annoyed because I have several things in my head that I really want to write about, but I have had NO time the past few days to do so. Like now, it is after 10pm already and I have just gotten a chance to open my computer. So every night I have a choice: do some of the things that I intended to do (clean, read, write), or sleep. One night I made the mistake of reading until midnight. I nearly fell asleep at work the next day, so apparently cheating yourself out of sleep is not an option when pregnant, even if you really want to.

So I’ll postpone the thoughtful stuff and just post that the baby’s bedding set arrived today! It is SO adorable, I hugged it and wanted to take it to bed with me. (And before you say “You should have!”, it was the copious amounts of fur in my house that had me tucking it back into the plastic bag.) I bought Zoey by Cocalo. Ever since I first got pregnant I would look through all the different options and kept coming back to this one, so I knew it was the one I wanted. However I wasn’t going to buy it because we don’t intend to actually use a bumper in the crib… but I showed my mom, and she insisted she buy it for the baby, and I’m so glad!! I’m going to hang the quilt on the wall in the baby’s room, it’s just perfect. I’ll try to get some pictures of it.

Oh, and as for the room itself? We decided to do a two-toned wall, pink on the bottom and beige on the top, with a white chair-rail (or painted stripe) in the middle. I picked out the pink very quickly and Denis has put that color up. But the beige color is being more difficult – all the samples I tried had some kind of strange undertone that I didn’t like. I’m hoping that now that I have the bedding that I’ll be able to find the right shade soon so we can get that all done! Sadly the room will still not be set up until after we get all the hardwood refinished (we’re getting it all professionally completely sanded down and everything, the floors in this house are in terrible shape), and who knows when that will happen.

Two and a half months to get everything finished. Spring had better come soon or we’re going to run out of time!

And for those wondering, I do have belly pictures from the past several weeks, but I have not had time to edit/resize/upload them. I will get to them this weekend!
