carpet/rug

Jamie got the nursery all painted but we've been at a standstill because we were trying to decide what to do about the flooring.  If we left it bare it would get too cold in there, since we don't have forced air/heat upstairs yet.  I think I said in the last post that we couldn't find an area rug that was the correct size for a decent price.  My mom suggested a remnant.  So, we went to Wright Way Carpet Warehouse here in Ionia and found a clearance piece of berber that was big enough to cut down.  We liked the colors in it and because it had gotten rain water on it ( no discoloration on the front at all ) it was marked down to less than $70.  They are going to look at it today to see if they can bind the edges, if they can we'll have a custom sized area rug (basically) for $140!  Compared to the prices I saw on area rugs, that is a great deal :)  Then we just have to do the trim and we can put the furniture together.

On a different note, yesterday was a great day!  I love the days that I don't feel icky :)  Saturday was good, Sunday and Monday were icky, Tuesday was good and hoping for a great Wednesday :)  Make it a great one everybody!

Haven't updated in awhile

I've been kind of busy, thinking about getting ready for upcoming craft shows but not having a lot of motivation to do so.  We had our first actual "baby" appointment tuesday.  Since they couldn't get the heartbeat on the dopplar/sonar do-hicky they did a bedside ultra-sound.  I was glad Jamie had come in b/c he hadn't gotten to hear or see it yet.  We saw it move a few times, it never ceases to amaze me!  We got a perfect view of the face, as it was facing forward.  The doctor said everything looks good.  I'm now 13 1/2 weeks and have to wait a few more weeks until I can stop referring to the baby as "it".  Then we can really start preparing. 

Thanks to Jamie's Mom and my parents we have all the baby furniture, we just have to assemble it but are waiting to finish painting the nursery and will probably hire somebody to lay carpet in there.  We were going to get a large area rug for the room but can't find one the correct size, and the ones that come close are almost $200! 

Not a whole lot else going on.  This is the last weekend I have before having craft shows for the next 6 weekends.  This weekend is my family's bi-annual get together to make apple butter.  It's always a great time!  Still trying to find Jamie a job, once that's done I know the stress load will lighten!!
