Baby preparation update: We looked at cribs. Went went to the Alabama furniture market last Sunday after church and found a beautiful pewter iron crib made by Bratt decor. Brent's really been pushing wood but said he'd compromise as long as the crib was pewter. I'm not sure if it's the route I'll go but I have been very drawn to iron for a baby boy or girl. Here's a picture of the crib...
If I go with iron I will try to mix and match pieces to finish off baby's room. Part of me knows it'd be much easier to walk into Storkland and pick out an entire matching set and that may be what happens. Opinions on the iron crib?
As far as bedding goes... If we go wooden crib I will be much more flexible. If we go iron I will probably work with someone to have some custom pieces made. Reason being is that it stands out so much more to me on the iron crib. The furniture market had very good prices on custom made pieces so if we go that route I hope to head down in a few months and work with the seamstress to nail down the bedding (we must find out the gender first!)
Today's going to be a lazy day. I have months worth of hanging laundry upstairs that I'm determined to "wrinkle release" rather than iron and hang up. I won't be able to wear most of it for months, right? That brings me to weight gain... we don't really look all that pregnant yet. I just look bloated. I would say I've gained about 4-5 pounds so far. Starting weight at our first appointment was 130. Oh how I'll long for that again post baby... I do eat very bad though. I've been living off mini fast food meals to tide me over when the hunger pains set in. Brent's told me I must stop and I believe him. Here's hoping week 13 brings a new healthy eating habit my way ! :)
