Moving forward

I just booked our Birthing Center Tour & Childbirth Preparation Classes (weekend crash course)!! I emailed the local Lamaze instructor yesterday but haven’t heard back – might put in an actual phone call to her but it’s not REALLY easy to talk on the phone at work, you know?

I’m going shopping for cradle sheet fabric with my mom this weekend – YAY!! I like fabric stores, I just don’t like actually making anything myself with fabric! I also want to look and see what they might have for crib bedding – I think we’ve decided to have my mom make the bumpers, crib skirt and just buy “generic” sheets (those are a little harder to make!) – so we have to start looking for fabrics for a boy OR a girl (or do we? I like messing with my mom)…

There’s also some store in Cary that is having a 70% baby sale – so we’ll hit that up!

I’ve picked a couple of dates for Baby Shower in NC – May 13th (Mother’s Day weekend NOT day) is the best one for us but I don’t know if that is going to work!

Also have to get on that baby registry – I think we’ll just do Baby Depot & Amazon.com – that way I can add things from various vendors with the best prices available, hopefully. I know some people like to buy online and others really like to go to the store so I’ll try one online based and one ACTUAL store and see how that goes!

I just discovered that the crib bedding that I want to model our nursery after has fabric for sale by the yard. Very expensive yards, I might add. BUT still there’s hope we can find someone who can special order it for cheaper, possibly!! YAY!! I was hoping to be able to match is closely but now we might just be able to make it ourselves!! Of course this all depends on what’s cheaper, buying it or making it. The sheets are a little more expensive than Pottery Barn and I haven’t found much on Ebay…so it might be worth it depending on how much yardage this stuff takes…

So Grandma just confirmed that it IS very expensive yardage…what to do, what to do…
