24 weeks

I've spent the last week totally stressing out about bedding for Finn.  I've been looking at bedding since the second I found out I was pregnant.  I found tons tons of girl bedding I loved but nothing for a boy.  When I was about 16 weeks I said forget and I wasn't going to worry anymore until I knew if the baby was a boy or girl.  As soon as we found out Finn was a boy I started looking again. First, I looked for something already made and couldn't find anything, then I found my dream bedding set but it was almost $600 for a bumper, crib sheet and bed skirt. I just couldn't pay that much for something Finn is going to throw up and probably pee and poop on at some point. HA! Then I decided I would just buy the fabric that the bumper of the set I loved was made out of since that was really what I liked the best. But then I couldn't find anyone locally to sew it and then we I did she needed a pattern and I couldn't find one anywhere that was what I wanted, and then spent the last two just generally second quessing myself.  The same thing happened to me when I was planning our wedding when it came to the invitations.  I clearly remember standing in the inviation store looking at book after book of ugly invitations crying because everything I wanted was out of our budget. My Dad happened to be with me and my mom that day and finally just said enough is enough just pick the ones you really love and I'll buy them. So last night I decided "enough was enough" and the bedding was just going to be the thing I splurged on.  I went to Cynthia East Fabrics today and meet with Amy who is amazing and is going to help me order the fabric I love for the bumper and then coordinate fabrics for the skirt and bumper ties.  I felt 100 times better afterwards and am actually excited about Finn's bedding. We placed the order for the bumper fabric today and hopfully it will be here in a few weeks!  

I had to take these pictures by myself since Jeff is still at work.  I don't think I've seen him other than in the middle of the night since Monday! This is his last oncall week for a while and I am very happy about it.
