Plans for the nursery

Baby Price's nursery will continue to be a work in progress. As you will see, I do not have a decorating bone in my body. Plus I've just been concentrating on getting together the basic necessities. I don't think Baby Price is really concerned about having a fully decorated bedroom. Here's what we have so far.

ART

The artwork displayed in the nursery has all been purchased at the 2nd helpings art gallery. The two works of art on either side of the window were created by Chris Campbell. Chris is a man with Down syndrome. He uses color pencils and sharpie markers to incorporate Bible verses into brightly colored graphics. He custom-made these two pieces for me!




The second piece is a photograph by Dwight Hayes. I'd have to say this photograph is probably one of the most popular pieces in the gallery. I found the subject - a lamb - and title of the piece - Innocence - to be quite fitting for a nursery.



Other artsy/crafty things I plan for the nursery are to create shadow boxes with mementos. We already have the boxes hanging above the changing table. I hope to include photos, sonogram pictures, footprints and other hospital mementos in them.



TEXTILES

Right now we have some really stylish (hehe) blackout fabric hanging from the windows. I tried to find some grey and yellow fabric to construct some no-sew curtains, but haven't had any luck yet. Wouldn't you know that I was drawn to the super expensive fabric? Maybe I'll have more luck later, but for now, the blackout fabric is serving its purpose well. The room gets lots of sunlight during the day!


So that's our starting point. I'll be sure to post more pictures as we get things arranged.

38 Weeks

Boy or Girl?

Take the poll! Will baby P be a boy or girl?

Many people just don't understand why we aren't finding out the sex of our baby. And Mr. Price and I can't figure out what the big rush is. I love surprises too much to find out.

Supposedly the heart rate of the baby and the way the mother carries the baby are indicators of what the sex will be. Our baby's heart rate has consistently been 150.

You can see in the picture above how I am carrying the baby at 30 weeks. Is it high or low? I don't know.

Our Mimi even convinced me of doing the Ring Test. The Ring Test is an old wives' tale that involves holding a wedding ring or a needle from a piece of string over the mom's belly. If it swings in a circular motion its a girl, a pendulum motion its a boy. According to this test we are having a boy!

Please let us know your guess by taking the poll that is featured at the top of the right menu of our blog. In just about 10 weeks we'll let you know if the poll results are correct!
