I'm starting the countdown.


10 weeks from today I will have baby no. 4 in my arms. How can 10 weeks seem like an eternity, and not nearly long enough at the same time? Being pregnant is so weird.

Every Wednesday until the baby is born, I will share one thing I'm doing to prepare for his arrival. I feel so much more relaxed about it this time around. Maybe that's what 4 does to you?

Today, I am planning his bedding. What do you think, is toile boy-ish enough? What if it is green and paired with a check? I don't know, but it's in the stash so I'm using it anyway.

p.s. I used the same fabric for Oliver's nursery, and he turned out pretty manly.

  18. when you posted pictures of your last babies crib I nearly died because it was EXACTLY how i pictured my future babys crib/bedroom to be..even if i dont have kids for another 5 years! i saved the pic and truly think I will have to decorate my future kids bed juts like it! And the red crib is the best thing ever!

  19. i've been here a few times and i really like it! also, i think toile definitely is boyish enough. besides, boys in touch with their sensitive sides are the best kind anyway.

  20. I linked to one of your posts today. Jake wants cookies "out of scratch" and I remembered making cookies with your kids at my house- you know from a mix and Mable said that she never had cookies made like that before. I believe her!
    We will be in the valley tonight and tomorrow. I hope we can stop in for yogurt again. Blueberry with granola! yum. We picked some up for the kids last time when we were there and Maes said she really liked it and was excited to make it herself this time. Then I kept calling it a yogurt shop and she decided it was "Yucky"...i need to keep calling it "Ice Cream" ! She can be such a pill.
