A very productive weekend...




The weekend we celebrated our 18 month anniversary! We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Soby's on Friday night with my mom as our guest. She came into town for the weekend to help do a few projects around the house (clean utility room, iron, etc.). Aren't moms great?!
While she was here we had plans to purchase the crib, which we did, along with the dresser that we will use as a changing station. Imagine the picture of the crib above just a shade darker, almost black.
After dinner we went to Sears and bought the car seat. We had a change of plans on the orange one posted about earlier :) cause I read in some customer reviews that it doesn't fit in a grocery buggy. I think the one we picked out is still universal enough to be used for boy or girl, which is definitely a consideration with all our purchases since there will be a few sibling on the way.
After dinner we came home and jumped on the computer to try and do a little more baby bedding shopping. I am so indecisive when it comes to things like this. I just can't find the right fabric combination and I'm not creative to pick out stuff on my own. After about an hour on the internet, we looked at the bedding at Pottery Barn and deciced on the madris pattern. This has all the colors I was looking for without being "themey." AND Chris approved! WhooHoo. I have attached pictures of all of the above purchased items.

I love it! I too am not into the "themes" for nurseries. I hope you'll take pictures of it all once it comes in and gets put together in the room! :) Hope you are doing well, can't wait to see your belly!
