brian and i registered today. we were both completely overwhelmed! my mom came with us, so she helped to keep us on track. i think we have a pretty good start, but there were a few things i wanted to hold off on until i do a little research. any advice on items a new mom shouldn't be without? i'm having a hard time finding a navy blue crib bumper. am i the only one in america who doesn't want to use pastels in the nursery? surely not! i think i need to make my own.
i am also making great progress on the blanket. four rows are done, and i'm ready to move on to the blues. i love it so far!
if 1 am heartburn persists, i should have this blanket done in no time!
big night on tv tomorrow...downton abbey AND the walking dead. i don't know how we are going to decide which one to watch live. maybe a better idea is to record them both and go to bed early! ;-)
Eek! Your blanket looks awesome! I just went to a baby shower last weekend, and she is doing her baby's room in green and navy (alligator themed). All of her crib/room decor was from Pottery Barn Baby, so you should check that out!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joni!! The pattern killed me in the beginning, but I finally got the hang of it. I didn't even think to look at Pottery Barn...thanks!
Deletethe blanket is presh!!
ReplyDeleteLove the blanket and the belly!
ReplyDeleteHey Joanna,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the picture!!! I know you said you were looking for a bumper that wasn't the color of Easter (I had the same issue). I ended up going with this bumber http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2529738. It's breathable, which is really nice if and when he starts to become more active in his sleep. If his face ends up at the top of the crib and smashed against the rails, like Evelyn, he can still breathe. It's very flexible and comes in multiple colors. Just a thought!!
Oh, these bumpers look awesome. I like that they are plain too...so many of them are "theme" related. Thanks Becky!...this is going on the registry!
