While I don't really condone Cowboys stuff (wink wink), I know it's inevitable since husband bleeds blue & gray. And since the Cowboys have pretty colors and lots of cute stuff... it's not terrible.
We had a Sherman-Williams coupon which was just the kick I needed to decide upon the shade of gray (ha ha - no, I haven't read that book). We'll be painting 3 walls one of these colors. To be decided this weekend - presently I have big swatches painted on the walls of each color to help us decide.
And one wall pink to match the crib bedding and curtains. Perhaps something like this...
I think the room is going to turn out great. Can't wait to get started painting...
For crib bedding I'm still going with gray and a vibrant pink. So far I haven't found anything I like pre-made. So I sent away for fabric swatches. The plan is to sew it...

Finally, not sure why I've been delaying with my Facebook announcement. I think with every kick, and every little preparation we take I get closer and closer to understanding that she's really coming. It felt awesome to finally tell my friends!!! I have lots of great friends from different points in my life that I don't keep in touch with regularly but think of often. They are still very special to me. I am so happy to share with them our happy news and to receive their notes. It really brightened my week. I had fun with the announcement too. I couldn't just say it or upload an ultrasound pic....

Miss anything? Running - the mornings have been cool; perfect weather for a run. Walking (the dog) is not the same. And as always, a great zinfandel. I've been eyeing our Hunt Cellars wines. I think the Outlaw Ridge 2007 Zinfandel will be my first glass of wine... or maybe the 2006 Opulence Cabernet Franc... or...

Have you started to show yet? Yes - But obviously not enough yet. Was wedding dress shopping over the weekend with my brother's fiance (had tons of fun). At one shop a bunch of 50-ish ladies took all of the seats. No one even offered to let me sit... I was rubbing my belly and doing everything I can to look even more pregnant...
I haven't had cravings for either, although shortly after taking this photo I opened the Ben & Jerry's and ate the whole thing in one sitting!!! |
