I like that it's a little girlie, but not overdone, and the colors are unique. Plus the crib is oak (light colored) so the tans in the horsey will match it well I think.

This is the set that I want https://www.target.com/gp/detail.html?asin=B004KCT3A2&colid=30JDRRI0AIIMC&coliid=I16M6NW1SLCP8M&bckreg=baby
My great-grandmother loved anything owls and I think I am starting to follow in her footsteps!

I LOVE the owl theme! I thought about doing that if we were having a boy, but it can go either direction. Have you searched Ebay for owl nursery items? I found a bunch of patterns for owl toys, etc. when I was on there the other day.

I meant to answer this earlier, but I forgot. I apologize! I've been having some trouble sleeping as well and here are some things I tried that seem to help:

1. If you eat a late supper, stay up for at least 2 hours after eating. It will be hard but it will keep you from tossing and turning when you have a full stomach of grocery. Plus, it helps prevent heartburn and indigestion.
2. No caffeine after 6. I found that if I drink something with caffeine in it after then, I'll have a super hard time sleeping that night.
3. If you are just laying in bed staring at the ceiling, get up and sit up on the couch and watch some TV. You will eventually get sleepy and get some rest on the couch. If you get up to go back to bed, it wakes you up just enough where you won't be able to go to sleep... again.

Another thing - I invested in one of those memory foam contour pillows. Sometimes I use it under my head, sometimes between my legs. I alternate between the foam and the downy type pillow until I can get comfortable. Oh, and if you get hot at night like I do, a fan works great for keeping you cool so you can sleep and giving you some white noise.

I have seen so many owl things out there, they are so much fun! We aren't finding out what we are having so this theme was a good option for us.

I've hit 9 weeks and have finally gotten my motivation back! I think anyways

For the first time in many weeks I felt like doing something today. I got quite a few little chores done and have canning blueberry jam on the agenda for later today. Hooray for hcg peaks!

I'm feeling so tired today. I haven't done much today, either. I think what happened is I wore myself out yesterday with all the cleaning and trying to stay busy to pass the time until my ultrasound! LOL

My shower is one week from tomorrow! YAY! I'm excited lolol

My Aunt in Georgia said she's mailing up a package for Baby Girl, too! She's hoping it gets here before my shower so I can open it at my shower. I was all, aww! that's super sweet!

Are you able to take leave a little earlier?? Sounds like you could sure use the rest before the baby arrives.

Yes...but it will cut 2-3 weeks off the time I get to spend with her....although with the new information about an additional 6 weeks of leave if I have a c-section...that wouldn't be as bad...except I'm expected to pay my own insurance premiums after 30 days while I'm on unpaid leave.....

Oh, well that isn't good. The extra time is, just not having to pay your own premiums.
