Nursery Theme: Bugs

It took me a while, but moms know best...where the "what's the theme for your nursery question was at first perplexing... it is starting to make sense. Maybe it is the cocktail of hormones that cause one to think in terms of themes... I am not sure...but my theme is BUGS.

Dragonflys, bees, butterflys, lady bugs, spiders, snails, caterpillars, ants...all sorts of bugs. Know the search begins for the items to bring the bug nursery to life...bug mobiles, pillows, sheets, blankets, carpet, etc. I think the BUG theme is a great way to introduce the magical little creatures to baby...

And, it is pretty gender neutral...so I won't tip Alan off on whether it will be a baby boy or girl.

Paint colour - Behr - Willow River #3a1-4, or SICO Cypress Cone Yellow or Tea Time Green.

Are you in there? 18 weeks

Apparently my little wee one is swimming around and having a gay old time growing into a little person, but I can't feel you yet. I should feel something in the next week or so, and I am looking forward to knowig the little person is in there. I only know somethign is there, because my belly is getting a wee bit big and it sometimes feels funny...like carrying a wee bowling ball in there. Somethimes I think I feel somethign..but it is just gas ;).

Stay tuned for baby's first kick.

Do what I say...not what I do...

I have started making my bed every day. As most people who know me, know that this might get done on a weekly or bi-weekly basis when the sheets are freshly washed...otherwise I burrow into my bed....now that I think of it...I burrow into my bed much like my weiner dog does ;(. Mmmm...

I have started picking the cothes up off of my floor. It is true that there have been fewer clothes on the floor since the inception of the handy hamper in the main bathroom, but the transition of not being able to fit into any of my clothes has caused my useless clothing items to be abandoned on the floor in no man's land. But, I recently bought a new dresser to put everything in its place.

So at 31, mom, I have learned to clean my room and make my bed.

I have come to realise what it is that makes our parents appear not human at all to us as children and teenagers. Because at this juncture in my life, where I start saying things like "put everything in its place" and I start cleaning my room and making my bed and tidying all the live long day...I realise that as we realise we have to set an example we set a higher standard for ourselves to be better people for our children.

I dread the day...I forget to make my bed...and the little spud call me on it.
