Getting Ready for Baby

Last week my mom visited and we shopped until we dropped. I mean that literally of course, seeing that I am starting to get a little more tired these days. I generally need naps every afternoon (except when I am working - although I am at work wishing I was taking a nap!) especially after a busy day out shopping. Keshav painted Baby's room a couple of weeks ago, which my mom was originally planning to help with. That worked out well because we got to spend more time shopping and decorating. The color of the room is called mint truffle. When I first saw it I thought it was a bit bright. But it toned down after drying and we love it now. It also is beautiful with the room decor I picked out.
We started Wednesday night at the big consignment sale not very far from home a friend told me about and we actually found some good buys, even brand new stuff. The next day we hit baby's r us and started buying room and crib decor (and anything else that caught our eye). Unfortunately, the crib K and I finally decided upon after many shopping trips, more than enough reviews read, and deliberation is out of stock. We are not sure when it comes in. But, needless to say, my mom and I did not have any problem finding plenty of other goodies to bring home. My mom started her "going nuts" phase of expecting the first grandchild!! We also hit the fabric store and found some cute baby prints for baby blankets and a sling she is going to make for Baby.
Baby's room started coming together after our first shopping trip. We put up the window valence and put in place all the new items. Of course, one trip to babies r us was not enough so we went back for round two and finished up getting the crib bedding and some closet organizing stuff. Now we just need the crib!!! Here are some new photos - a couple of us, I am now 6 and half months, and some sneak previews of Baby's room. Oh, and I stuck our other babies in as well.
