1st Pregnancy: Week 21

Well, we had an exciting week picking out and crafting things for Parker. Plus, I got to get an extra sneak peak at our little one on Thursday. The ultrasound technician had some problems with the video that they took of Parker, so they needed me to come back in on Thursday to redo. Nothing was wrong with either of us, the camera just didn’t get a clear enough picture. So, below you’ll see a few new pictures of Parker.

I did a little crafting on Friday night. Knowing now what we’re having allowed me to create the custom wall art above Parker’s crib. I hand cut each of the letters out of foam and decorated the white canvases with orange, green, and navy ribbon. Even Jeff thought they turned out cute!

You’ll notice the little lion stuffed animal in the picture below also. This is the theme we decided to go with for Parker’s room - “Sweet Safari.” So, the lion is his first stuffed animal. The decision was made after about 4 hours of registering for his paraphernalia on Saturday afternoon. We went to Babies ‘R Us and Target and registered for all of the cute little things he’ll need. After about the 3rd hour, both Jeff and I felt a little overwhelmed and exhausted. Who knew there would be so much stuff for a little guy?

The crib bedding we both love is from Babies ‘R Us (most items are available at Toys ‘R Us too), as well as the stroller, car seat, play yard, swing, and a few fun toys. The high chair, clothing, bottles, and other small items are on our Target registry. You can now view both of them online. You can always search for either of them in store or online by Serena Riley or by Jeff Riley.
