It's a Jungle in Here!

I still feel like there is a LOT to do in preparation for the arrival of our little bundle of joy in April. I'm trying to research and read everything I can about pregnancy, labor and delivery (oh dear), caring for babies, etc. Boy, there is a lot of info out there!

One of the exciting (and low-pressure) decisions we got to make as we embark on this journey toward parenthood is the nursery theme. We considered several options before deciding on Baby Jungle Animals. Who doesn't love a chubby little elephant or snuggly monkey? My mom found us a cute crib set and we're trying to find creative (read: thrifty) ways to coordinate the rest of the room.

Wouldn't you sleep well surrounded by these precious jungle friends?



My mom (being the crafty-type) is crocheting a set of animals to match the ones on the blanket. How awesome is that?!

Hey, we chose the same theme, but different bedding. So cute! Can't wait to see it finished! We got our furniture today... It's all very exciting!

It's a set from Target but my mom actually found it at a consignment shop. The picture was just online and we are getting a crib from Pearl. My cousin is giving us a bassinet and a swing and Amanda gave us a bouncy seat. I've been browsing Craigslist for other baby gear and there are some great deals out there. Thanks for all the offers of help - we'll keep you posted! =)
