Crafty Card Party

Last week I attended a card-making party Leigh invited me to. 10 women each designed a card and brought supplies for everyone to make 2 cards of that design. My card - the purple - was pretty scrappy when compared to what these regular crafters came up with. I left with 20 cards, as well as some cute clothes for the BEAN. Below are a few of my favorites.

Week 21

Still growing...

Snug as a Bug

I've been looking for nursery bedding for the Bean. Trying to compare costs to sewing something on my own (with the help of Grammy). I want something simple, clean and contemporary. No trucks, winnie the poohs, or sail boats. Here are three I found online that I like. I thought Alan would like the Orange in #1. But is it too bright for baby? All should go nice with the blue walls. What's your opinion?

#1 - Happy

#2 - Vanilla

#3 - Polkas

Baby Bean Moves!

Last night I was lying in bed, watching the Real World Australia. All of a sudden I felt these two strong "bubbles" pop on the right side of my tummy. It was the first time I really felt the Bean move! He kicked, or air punched! It was the best feeling. I can't wait until Alan can experience it.

Other Bean Milestones:

April 25th - Day we found out we were pregnant

May 13th - Day we told our families

July 16 - Week 18...the week the Bean and my tummy really popped out

July 24th - Day we found out Bean was a Boy

August 11 - Baby Bean kicks for the first time in front of Papo, Grammy, and Dad

Belly Pic - Week 20

Raja is infatuated with the BEAN!

I gave in and purchased a horizontal striped shirt - I love it, and am sure it makes me look larger, but for once I have an excuse to wear a shirt that makes me look like a pirate.

Belly Pic Gallery - Week 19

Baby Bean is growing and although it is embarassing, I gave in and started taking weekly pics of the belly. Week 19

March Madness Takes Over

For the first time, I've entered a March Madness pool - Go Ohio State! With no insight into college basketball, I did some quick research, polled a few male friends and made my pics for the Sweet Sixteen and Magnificant Eight. I didn't go with my initial thoughts to pick a team from the Northwest ... but I'm focused on taking home a few extra bucks and went with the top contenders.
