I am SO in love!

Scott and I spent last Saturday evening going to several stores to price cribs, gliders, and other baby furniture. And we actually had a good time. Babies R Us had the most expensive baby furniture, but they also had the cutest crib bedding. When I saw the following sports-themed bedding...


...it was love at first sight. The picture does not do it justice. Most of the material is corduroy. And the colors are way cuter in person. So Scott and I had a little discussion. The six piece crib bedding (including this quilt, a crib bumper, dust ruffle, fitted sheet, diaper stacker, and valance) cost $190, but it was on sale for 20% off. Just $152 and well worth it in my opinion. So I went to ask the salesperson about their return policy, and she said we could return it within 90 days--just 15 days (give or take) after we find out the sex of our baby. So we bought it--along with an extra crib sheet, some matching wall decor, and an adorable mobile.

So now if we find out we're having a boy, we're all set. And if we're having a girl, we can just return the bedding and buy something else. Or keep it and have a tomboy baby girl. I don't hate that idea, but I'm pretty sure Scott does. Scott also thinks we jinxed ourselves into having a girl the minute we made this purchase, but I'm pretty sure the sex of our baby was determined back on April Fool's Day. :)

Ayway, I've been very happy with my new love--the crib bedding. I like to take it out to look at it from time to time--okay daily. It's just so cute.

But then yesterday I realized that I'm not truly in love with it. Yes, I do still love it and hope to keep it. But I've found a new love--a true love.

I'm totally, completely, insanely in love with...

...our adorable baby. We had an ultrasound yesterday. You can see his/her arms and legs poking out the sides. The cutest thing ever was watching our baby move his/her arms around as if to throw a few punches. We just might have a feisty kid on our hands. :)

This is our baby from the side--head at the top with his/her little arms and legs poking out. What a cutie!

And this is our baby's little heartbeat. It was awesome to get to both see and hear his/her cute little heart beating. Amazing!

Scott and I are both madly in love. This baby has definitely stolen our hearts already.

**And in case you're wondering, yesterday our fertility doctor found that the blood in my uterus has dissolved. Yay! I can exercise again and hopefully stop worrying. It was bittersweet to say good-bye to our amazing doctors and nurses at the Utah Fertility Clinic. We will miss their wonderful care and compassion. But deep down, we hope we never have to see them again. This morning I had my first appointment with my new ob/gyn. It was pretty strange to finally feel like I fit in at the ob/gyn office. It's all still a little surreal, but it's becoming more and more real all the time. I am SO blessed.
