Sneak Peeks of Sprout's Room

First things first...I had a doctor's appointment this morning with my favorite doctor at the office (I REALLY hope she's the one who delivers Sprout, but I'm not that lucky) and I've gained no weight in the past two weeks and haven't gotten any bigger.  So, now I'm measuring at 30 weeks, only about a week ahead of schedule.  I guess Sprout just had a little growth spurt!  She still warned me that s/he is probably on the larger side, but I've been expecting that all along so whatevs.

Okay, on to the fun stuff.  I am still not ready to reveal the whole nursery yet because it's not done, not even close!  I am going to sit down and really go over what else to get, hopefully by the end of the week.  I washed and folded all the clothes we have so far...I can't believe an actual person is going to fit in those doll clothes!  But I do have a couple of things I wanted to show so far:


Let's start with the long-awaited quilt!  I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I still have to finish the backing and actually quilt it, but this is what you all wanted to see, right?  For those of you who've been asking, I started sewing a couple of years ago.  It was something I was always interested in, and my friend's mom walked me through making a shirt.  After that, I bought a machine and started taking lessons from a seamstress out here.  I learned how to do clothes first which made switching to quilts and curtains a lot easier, since they don't have waists or arms to accommodate for.  Anyway, I love how this turned out and I think it goes great with...


This super cute frame my sister-in-law made!  I just love the little elephants.  She is really talented and I can't wait for her to take some pics of the baby once s/he comes out.  Sorry the picture is kind of bad, I could not find a spot where there wasn't some kind of shadow.


On one of Scott and my many trips to Goodwill, we found this perfectly adorable little wooden rocking horse.  I think it is so awesome.  You can see the sporty painting on it, and "Max" is painted on the seat in blue, so I don't know if I'm going to sand that off or just tell Sprout the horse's name is Max.  Girls play sports too, so I'm not really worried about the mitt and balls.


And lastly, here is the amazing pram my grandma got for me at my baby shower.  I am kind of obsessed with it.  I was half-expecting it to come with a Mary Poppins!  I know it's not practical as an every day stroller, but I still think it will be cool to push around our neighborhood and I'm planning on using it instead of a bassinet downstairs.

So that's some of what I have so far...what do you think?
