Easter Egg Bump

Last Easter weekend instead of the Easter Bunny coming to town, Grandma Sharon rolled in with a box of fresh strawberries and visions of baby bedding patterns and material dancing in her head. I know I’m mixing up my holidays but the point is mom finally got to see the baby bump in person and help me accomplish the very first baby-related task on a long to-do list; plan the nursery.

After my mom happily informed me that she wanted to make the bedding for the crib we took a field trip to JoAnne Fabrics where we were to pick out a pattern (they kind of all looked the same to me) and some material (way too many options for me). On the way to the store, my mom told me about the bedding that was on my crib when I was a baby. Apparently the pattern I had was “Jemima Puddle Duck” a character from a Beatrix Potter story about a duck who searches for a place where she can hatch her eggs (see we are getting back to the Easter theme already…Eggs). Although Jemima Puddle Duck sounded precious I knew Moncho and I would be taking a more modern approach to the nursery.   

After searching through what seemed like endless yards of fabric and vetoing most of the clashing colors and patterns that Moncho was selecting (he has a thing for 70’s-esque olive greens and browns) we finally started to find some colors and patterns that were making sense. We ended up finding a patterned material with bright pink and orange “Mod” flowers. In the end, the pattern ended up having a bit of 70’s flair and everyone was happy with the choice. The next step is waiting for the crib to arrive!

some of the material!

I have also come to realize that I can no longer delay posting pictures of “the bump”.  So here they are…Enjoy!
