sarah's tummy

sarah's now 8 months along and great with child. it's been a little hard for her to sleep well, she's always moving around trying to get comfy, then getting up to go to the bathroom etc. she has heartburn at nights, especially after she eats. she's always hot, and her feet are swollen and look kinda like cow utters. you'd never know any of it because she's always happy and positive and she looks great, check it out--tummy!










this week: crib, bumper, nora's pictures, stroller...

we finished painting/staining the crib, finished the
bumper/blanket for the crib. finally. it took about a month or so...had some fun detours on the way, but they ended up helping out...it was a fun little project.










here's a close up of the bumper and blanket that sarah did. pretty says i.









she also made this little series of tree pictures for nora's room












we also decided on a stroller, which we ended up getting from baby style. it's called the quinny buzz. it is is compatible for both the infant and the toddler. it took a long time to decide on which one we were going to get. so many choices out there. but we figured we'd better get one that we liked and pretty much did what we wanted. it reclines into 3 positions, has a neat-o sun guard (not shown in pic), folds down/up really easy, has a storage basket (not shown in pic). plus, it looks pretty cool too. draw backs--a little big, but not too bad. also it takes two hands to fold down. but, it seems like of all the reviews out there there's always something wrong with every stroller. no golden ticket apparently. sorry charlie bucket.
