What a Weekend!!

Well, Friday I got home to find out that Payton's rug had arrived!!! My mom found the PERFECT rug at esalerugs.com a month or so ago, and it took me some time to convince myself it was worth the money..and Chad too! So Chad and I agreed that it would be our Valentines gift to eachother. We'd MUCH rather spend the money on Payton anyway! It scared me at first though, because I had ordered a pretty big rug... and when I arrived home Friday I found a package that only came halfway up my thigh!! I was terrified that I had messed up and was going to have to figure out how to ship this heavy thing back! So I drug it inside and quickly cut it open...it was PERFECT! Somehow they had managed to fold it down into a small square! It matches Payton's bedding perfectly, and I really like it because when he gets older it will look beautiful anywhere in our house! Here are some shots of it after mom and I drug it into the nursery:

And speaking of bedding-Chad's parents bought Payton's bedding and it came in Friday as well!!! So a BIG thank you to Gran and Papa!!! I can't wait to see it on the bed and get some pictures posted!! It's all coming together!! I am waiting to put the bedding on until the tiling is finished. Payton's bathroom is right across the hallway from his bedroom, so I was afraid of the dust and mess from tiling getting on all his sweet little things!

Chad and Dad worked all day Saturday putting up the cement backerboard in the tub and taping and bedding it, and laying the tile floor. It's looking good so far!! Here they are hard at work:

And here's what the floor looks like as of now:SOOOO much better than the old laminate!! I can't wait to see the shower tile in place!! It will be a great and CLEAN place to give Payton all his baths! While Chad and Dad worked on Saturday I headed to Albany to sew with mom. I decided that rather than spend a FORTUNE on some of the cutsie baby things that you can find, I would attempt to make some of them myself!! ...or rather ask my amazingly talented mom to make them while I assist her... Here's one of the burp cloths we made on Saturday that I am going to have monogramed and then Grammy found the perfect frog to match! It's like they were made to go together!!!

We also went to Breckenridge to a fun fabric shop they have there and picked out some fun bright and retro fabric for ANOTHER quilt for Payton!! Grammy is going to be a busy girl!! I am hoping to get to Albany and help her as much as possible. Quilts are such a special thing, and I really need to learn the trade. I can't wait to see them come together, and have my hand at sewing parts of them even. My mom is an extremely talented woman, and Payton and I are VERY blessed to have her!! All her special hand-made touches are really going to make his room special!

In other news, we are going in for our 3-D sonogram tomorrow, and are VERY excited!!! Seeing his sweet little face in 3-D is going to make it so much more real!!! The days are really flying by, and I am getting more and more anxious as each one passes!! So sonogram pictures coming soon!!
