Not the post I promised,

but maybe a fun one nonetheless?

Soon I'll start posting "Bump Watch 2009" pictures (because there actually is a slightly visible bump now), but I'm not quite ready just yet. And let's pretend I never said in my last post that I was going to post pictures of anything else because I can't seem to locate those pictures. So instead I'm going to show you some of the fun BABY PURCHASES we've made in the last week. Woot!

First and foremost, we bought a lovely set of nursery furniture from Craigslist. Days before that creepy story about the Craigslist Killer came out. Comforting. The sellers of this furniture purchased it, assembled it, and then decided that they wanted something in a different color. So it's essentially new, as no baby has had contact with it yet. And here it is, along with Justin, who has chosen to represent himself as an orange blur:


Next up, some of the fabric that will eventually be our crib bedding, again with an appearance by Justin the Blur:


I'm still missing a couple of fabrics. I ambitiously decided that I know enough nice people who know how to sew that I can make my own crib bedding. Very Martha Stewart, right? Except, like, a Martha with very little actual skill.

And finally, tonight I purchased these (a cute farm book, an animal noise toy, and two Baby Einstein DVD's):


and these (even tougher to see, but that would be two pairs of maternity pants, two maternity shirts, and one maternity dress):


and this (to which Justin the Blur has already given his stamp of approval):




















for a whopping $32 at our church's MOPS Bargain Garden. Again I say, Woot!
