I have put off purchasing anything until we found out what we were having, pulse I was so miserable it was hard to wrap my mind around anything nursery or baby related.  I was just trying to make to the bathroom before I lost my breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

So now here I am searching for the perfect crib.  I have been offered one or 2 from friends and family, but there must be something wrong with my brain because I would rather get something else than jump on the FREE wagon.  (I’m somewhat mental, I know).

I am really drawn to the dark wood.  I guess that is because I grew up on enormous amounts of light oak.  I’ve been searching high and low, Overstock, Target, Babie’R'Us, and Craigslist.  I’m afraid of making the wrong decision. Here’s what I’ve been looking at so far.

Crib 1:

I like this one, but I am unsure as to how sturdy it is.  The wood looks a little on the weak side.  (I LOVE THE BEDDING!!)

Crib 2:

I love the style of this one and it has a nice drawer at the bottom for extra storage and possibly looks a bit sturdier.

Crib 3:

This one is nice, but I am wondering of the bar in front will dig into my receding belly when I go to bend over it.

What say you?

As far as colors go, I know I want GREENs and tan/brown and possibly light blue (but not an exorbitant amount, blue is not really my favorite color).  I am also not big on themes as far as jungle, sailor, teddy bear, blah blah blah.  What if the boy grows up and doesn’t like boats or safari animals? I’m not going to waste my time decorating with that stuff only to replace it with planes, trains, and automobiles.  He will however love GREEN.  That is non-negotiable.  ;)

Thirty lashes with a wet noodle upon my hide.  My apologies for my absence.  You see, I have a good excuse.  I’m pregnant and have spent the last 4 months wishing death upon myself while bent over the toilet heaving my guts.  It is true what they say, what goes in must come out, although not in the terms I thought.  I will spare you any disgusting stories of foods that I would rather not put past my lips again.  On a positive note, bananas taste the same going in and coming out.

I am currently 20 weeks (the end of my 5th month for those who cannot do the math, you’re welcome).  I am finally out of the nauseous woods and the sun has come out again.  Those first 4 months were hell.

Today was a very big day for us.  We got to find out what flavor we are having.  I know this can be a very controversial thing for some people.  My mom used to always tell me, if God wanted you to know what you were having he would have put a window there for you to see.  I on the other hand feel that it is just as exciting no matter when you find out.  I also want to be as prepared as possible and not end up with a load of yellow stuff that only makes your baby look jaundice.

Let me introduce you to the one who has been using my bladder as a punching bag, our baby boy, Liam Christopher.

We are on cloud nine.  Although we would have been happy with either a boy or a girl, it was our desire to have the boy be the oldest.

And as requested by the whole entire world, my impression of Demi Moore (fully clothed).
