Sorry it has been so long, life has been busy busy. Unfortunately we didn't get to find out the sex of the baby last week. I go back on Dec. 7th and we may find out then. I am still very tired and it tough the busier it gets but the busyness is for the good of the baby so it's worth it.
Everything has been going well health wise. The baby was healthy and appropriate size etc at the last visit. I don't have time to write much more now but I will definitely try to update more often.

Well yesterday was the much anticipated day to see if we could determine the baby's sex. However, my mistake, my appointment is next Thurs and was not this last one. So another week we will wait. At least I will be that much farther along and hopefully they will be able to figure out which it will be.

I am trying to decide on a nursery theme idea. I spent several hours looking at fabrics online thinking I may just make the bedding however most of it is close to $10 a yard and most of the patterns call for between 10-15 yards. That doesn't even include the batting it would require which is generally pretty expensive. So it's my conclusion that it would probably be just as wise to purchase a pre-made set and at the very least it would save me a headache. The set I originally gravitated towards is called Tree Tops by Carters. They sell it at Babies R Us and it looks like this:
The woodland animals are very cute and it is also gender neutral. I suppose I can worry about this more when we find out the sex but it's hard to wait. I have been looking elsewhere for crib sets i.e. eBay, various baby stores, Target etc. This one remains my favorite by far. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

*update*
I went to Target.com and they have released their version of this theme. It's by Woolrick and called Woodlands.
The colors are not as rich so I prefer the other one however this one is 60% of the price and the accessories are less expensive too. It is a definite contender.
