So far, so good with this pregnancy, except for a ridiculous amount of exhaustion in the first trimester. I have never been so tired in my life! And dizzy to boot, but most of that seems to have passed, and I am into my third trimester now. Baby has been very active lately, and according to his ultrasounds, right on target for growth and development. We're very excited to meet him.
But being so tired and dizzy made it very hard to concentrate on stitching, and I really slacked off for a while, only managing to get in the bare minimum, which is why you haven't seen much from me lately. (I especially want to apologize to my two remaining PIFs - Deirdre and Tammie. I didn't forget about you ladies, I swear!!! I have your pieces stitched up, I just have to finish them!)
Since my DH and I both love the beach and lighthouses, we knew we were going with a nautical theme for his room. This is the bedding we selected, Nautica William.
We'll be painting the walls a light blue, coincidentally called Sailboat (okay, maybe the color name did have something to do with my selection) and going with cherry furniture, including the crib my in-laws bought for their grandson.
I, or rather my husband, did pick the sampler for the baby. It's from Seguin Designs and it's called A Fishing Village Sampler.
Maine is one of our favorite places, and this was the sampler that DH liked the best of about a dozen different ones that I had found. I'm making some modifications to the piece to include his name and vital information. I haven't started stitching yet, but I do have the fabric and the threads.
So if you've been wondering why my posting has been sporadic this year, now you know why. :-)

It's about time that you let that cat out of the bag!!!! LOL! As you can see, lots of Bloggers are so happy for you and your DH :o)
Okay, I LOVE the decor for the baby's room. I LOVE the new crib. And I LOVE the sampler that you'll be stitching. But then you know that I am partial to the ocean and to Maine ;o)
Take care of yourself and that little one.
That is wonderful news indeed. I hope that the issues with your family will be sorted out soon so that you can spend your last weeks of pregnancy in peace and harmony.
Oh, my. What great news!!! Congratulations. Now it is just a short time more. Your blogging and stitching time will probably be decreased more when the baby arrives.
Love the nautical theme. Looks great. Sampler is cute too. Fits in quite well.

What wonderful news! Boys are the best (having only one child, a son, I'm a little biased). Your preparations for his room are stunning. Enjoy this happy time!
I can't wait to 'meet' (it could happen)your little guy someday. My guy was a pumpkin baby born October 24th-he's almost 23!
I really have been behind in my blogging! Congratulations Jennifer to both you and your hubby. I love how you've done the baby's room. I hope your energy returns soon.
