BABY NUGGET

Fav Buys...

I would say 'so far', but that might send Dejan straight into cardiac arrest... ;-)

Elephant Ramp Walker from The Wooden Wagon - So cute, check out the video (I have a sneaking suspicion Dejo and I will get more enjoyment out of this than Nugget):

Mally Bibs (owl & bird) - Rinse, hang on the fridge to dry, no washing necessary...my kind of bib:

West Coast Baby Kimonos - Perfect for skin-to-skin contact/quick diaper changes:

Chocolate Dot Storage Bins from Dwell Studio - Will be great catch-alls for Nugget's toys:

Sleep Sack (George) from Olli & Lime - Will be used post-swaddling:

Babylegs - great for crawlers (found some cool styles at Wild Flower Diapers):

 

Gyffy the Giraffe from Rody - Purchased after reading rave reviews, both a rocker (with base) & a bouncer:

Stonz Booties - Non-skid soft soles, perfect for cooler weather (won't be doing traditional shoes until Nugget is well into walking):

Organic Baby Wrap from lovelyduds (also planning to use the Maya Sling):

Halfway to Nugget's big day...

To Date:

No morning sickness

Still planning a home birth

Weight gain: 5lbs (still fitting in my jeans)

Felt Nugget move for the first time: November 3

Craziest Cravings: BK Zesty Sauce, peppermint ice cream

Strangest Combination: peanuts & marshmallows

Dejo's only desperate midnight run (so far): fun-size Snickers

According to my midwife: I have an "unusually large uterus" (has been a running joke at our house all month)

Dejan's thoughts on the matter: "what a waste of space, I knew we should have had twins"

Constantly Craving: Puffed Rice for breakfast...apples...cheese - feta cheese, blue cheese pizza, chili con queso, mac & cheese, crackers & cheese, cottage... Did I mention this baby loves cheese?

Avoiding: spicy foods & onions

Names:
Boy - we've had a name since 2005 (kudos Queer Eye for the Straight Guy)
Girl - ??? *crickets chirping*

Nursery

After many deliberations and a few compromises, I think we've finally narrowed it down (planning for a boy)...

Ikea Gulliver Crib - Not my first choice, but clean-lined & well rated:

Ikea Gulliver Change Table (will spruce this up with some brown baskets):

Dwell Studio/Litto Kids Sheets (not buying a crib set seeing as I won't be able to use the bumpers/quilt):

Sasquatch Music Festival Poster - When I saw this I knew I had to have one for the nursery (will hang over the changing table):

Ikea Rutbo Floor Lamp:

Petit Collage's Animal Alphabet or Robin Rosenthal's Counting Birds:

Monte Luca Glider - Heard/read so many amazing things about this glider, finally had the opportunity to sit in one last week, nearly sold:

Jaya Loves Tekeko Raindrop Pillow (Megan's pick) & Ugly Dolls:

Ikea Expedit Shelf - Will lay this on it's side with some pull-out boxes:

***Note to Dad - we're planning to use some of the rain gutter shelves you made above this to house books

KLTworks Crawling Critters Plush Mobile (will hang over the crib):

10 Days & Counting

Pink???

Blue???

I'm guessing boy

Dejan's hoping girl
