First piece of bedding finished

I couldn't help but go ahead and post this. It is so cool and I'm so excited!!
This is the finished bumper (only missing the ties). My mom did all the awesome sewing. I tried to help, it was disastrous but luckily savable. The little tags on there were to help keep us oriented while pinning.
We made it as a slip cover and put it over a cheap store bought bumper, which means...it's washable! Always a plus. :) Thanks so much mom for all the hard work!!!

Decorating

If you don't know yet, Mark and I are having a little boy.

We are decorating the baby room in Super Heroes. Mainly Superman but we will be incorporating others too. Here is a picture of the first finished project for the room decor. We have the bedding started and I'll post pictures when it's completed.

These are 12x12 canvases hand painted by Mark's Aunt Helen. I can't wait for these to be here so I can get them on the walls! To see other stuff Helen has done check out her Etsy store.

A Few Random Thoughts About Being an Oven

1.  Re flux sux!! (sorry for the spelling, I had to just go with it)
2.  I really want to ride a roller coaster this summer. :(
3.  I hate the ties on maternity clothes. You have to tuck them somewhere during your 20 trips to the bathroom each day. And then what if you forget to fix them?
4.  Can I go to the chiropractor everyday?
5.  What's with the contraption they rub on your belly every time you're at the doctor? I'm sure you wouldn't have to listen so long for that heartbeat if you weren't using stuff that looks like it's from the 70s.
6.  Is that gas lasting for 10 minutes or is it a parasite wiggling around on my insides?
7.  Why does my husband think it's funny to try to gross me out? Yay, something else I can pester her with! One of these days I will puke on him.
8.  Thank God for concealer. I will not leave home without it again.
9.  Green vegetables? Eww!!
10. Really? I just shaved yesterday!

1.  I haven't really been that sick. I've been pretty lucky.
2.  I have an excuse to buy new clothes.
3.  People do stuff for you all the time.
4.  I can fall asleep whenever I want. (usually)
5.  My sweetie says or does sweet extra things I would never expect.
6.  Finally getting rid of extra junk in the house.
7.  My family has blessed us tremendously everyday with their love and generosity. 
8.  I'm receiving an amazing gift from God.
