We finally got our baby crib! It has been a long process. Right before Ryan and I got married his grandma died. We got all of her bedroom furniture which was really nice. Unfortunately it didn't match the wood of our headboard/foot board and dresser. When we moved into our house I painted all of the furniture we inherited from his grandma black except for the armoire. I wanted to find a crib that matched the wood of the big armoire. But apparently it's a pretty unique stain!! I searched for about three weeks. I went to stores in Davis, Salt Lake, and Utah county. I finally found a crib- but it was way out of our price range :) The night before we went to buy it I saw a Walmart commercial on TV- checked out the website and they had an almost identical crib for 200 dollars less!! Woohoo!

Now I'm just working on bedding. Katherine offered to help if I can find the fabric. I want to do an airplane theme- but I can't find any fabric that I like. :( If anybody sees anything cute let me know!
Sunday was exciting. I was able to really feel the baby move during church. It was happening pretty frequently while I was sitting in sacrament meeting. It was so neat I had a hard time focusing on anything else. I feel huge. I tried on three outfits for church. ALL OF THEM were too tight. Hence I was 10 minutes late :( Oh well I bought a cute dress and and skirt with Tara and Lanara today that I should be able to fit into for a while longer.
I felt like my stomach grew like 6 inches this weekend. I gained 4 pounds and had to stick 3 more pairs of pants in my pile of clothes that no longer fit. I think I really am starting to show now. But I'm excited!! :)
We had a fun dinner with the Dobsons, Catenzaros, and Shipps

Ryan won phase 10 :)(He wanted me to add that little detail- he hardly ever wins anything) Megan taught us how to play the "right" way. Which actually make the game more entertaining. So it was fun :)
I'll be posting ultrasound pics hopefully on Thursday! Pray all goes well.
Anyway I need to end- Ryan wants attention :)

Cute crib. I didn't know you got that. I also didn't know you felt the baby move in Sacrament. That's what I get for sitting so far away from you this week :(
I hope your dress and skirt fit for a while longer, too. Have fun. See you next weekend. Enjoy AI. ΓΌ

I found this airplane fabric online. It's pretty cute, especially if you paired it with a cute, soft solid fabric.
Cute crib by the way.
