We will be posting the monthly comparison chart this week.

Nursery is coming together!!
A milestone has been reached! The crib and bureau have been ordered and we just have to wait...10-12 weeks. We are hoping this lead time is just an "under promise, over deliver" situation. Fingers crossed. Especially since Leigh is due in 12 weeks - HOLY COW!!!
The style of the furniture fits into the rest of the house decor nicely. We ordered the vintage cherry finish, which is a bit warmer then the picture (the picture below is mochachino). The bed converts into a toddler/youth/full size bed. We really like the feature of the bed growing with the person. The top of the bureau will be the changing table. We are all about the versatility. I saw this environment and just fell in love. I can not wait to continue the nursery.
I investigated clean, low/no VOC paints and I hope our Home Depot carries all the colors. As the bedding has not been finalized, I am 100% sure of the bumper and 80% sure of the skirt and feel confidant that the colors of the wall will be in the hues that dominate the bumper. We hope to get to Home Depot this weekend to purchase ceiling, trim and wall colors!!!
This picking out custom bedding has been exciting and stressful. It is also not for the immediate gratification person. However, the company that I am working with has been great to work with and I look forward to seeing the finished product.

I recently realized that all the pictures that we've been posting about this journey have either involved gifts to Nugget or pictures of me (the Vessel) growing rounder and wearing odd clothing. But there is another member of this family who has been amazing throughout this experience, and who is just as excited as I am for this next adventure. So here are some photos of my wonderful Jennifer (JRo).

Must be Love
For the first time in over 20 years, I peeled a banana. It must be love.
I made pumpkin banana chocolate chip bread for Leigh to have as a healthier snack.
I have come to the realization that bananas are going to be part of Nugget's life and I am going to need to get over my hatred for this fruit.

I peeled, I mashed, I survived.
