Since finding out that we were having a boy I have really been struggling to find crib bedding that I actually like. It is so easy to find cute bedding for girls, but it seems like if you aren't in to cheesy characters or themes there isn't much else to choose from. I finally decided that maybe it would be easier if I just made my own bedding. Since I'm not really that crafty that really means maybe my mom could just make it! I am so lucky to have a mom who is so talented because she took on the challenge with no complaints and actually had the quilt made in only a couple of days. I just took the quilt to the quilter on Monday and she should have it done by the end of February. Then we will just have to bind the edges and make the bumper and pillows. I am so excited to see the final project! Here are a few pictures of our work in progress! Thanks Mom for all your help!!
This is a picture of the quilt top my mom made for the little Bassinet I have for my room. I love the brown Minky material it is so soft!!
Curtains that my mom also made! They are cuter hanging up, the brown tabs tie around the curtain rod. Now I just need to get started on his room so I can hang them up!
Here is the quilt top for his crib, I absolutely love it and can't wait until it is all finished!
For those of you who have been bugging me about posting a picture of how big I am getting this one is for you! This is me at 25 1/2 weeks! I feel like I am getting so huge and like I am as white as a ghost! I can't wait for spring so I can actually get a little color on my pasty white skin. I went to the doctor on Monday and he says that I am right where I need to be as far as weight gain and that everything else looks good. They are going to check another ultrasound in 3 weeks to check some fluid he had in his kidneys and I am so excited to see him now that he is getting bigger. He is constantly squirming around and kicking so much, such a crazy feeling! So other than blood work, the dreaded Diabetes test, and getting a shot for being RH- I will just be letting this little guy get bigger until my next appointment!

I loved the quilt! I'm very impressed by your mom's handy work! Let me know when you have his room all done, because I want to come see it! If you need help painting give me a call! :)
The quilt and curtains are real cute. Your mom did a good job. You are not big at all. Other than your belly you look the same to me. I wish I were so lucky when I was pregnant with my kids. The glucose test is really not that bad. It tastes like a Crush soda.
