Ta da!  Skully's all finished - now what to do with him?


This weekend I finally convinced Jesse to hang the art we'd purchased for Quinn's owl and bird-themed nursery (this is a man's job, you know).  I also dressed her crib in the adorable bird bedding set my sister and mom got for us. 


There is a small bare wall above the "head" of the crib (on the right hand side of this photo) and I've decided to embark on a more elaborate embroidery project for that space.  In keeping with our decorating theme, I found this gorgeous vintage owl pattern.  I added Quinn's name (which won't be as contrastingly bold when I embroider it) and came up with this template:


How cute is that?!  What color scheme do you think I should go with?  I don't think I want to overdo it with pink on this.

As for a pregnancy update, I'm still feeling pretty good as I near 30 weeks (though Quinn is kicking my guts out as I type this!).  My belly is growing one centimeter every week, and I'm definitely aware of it!  It can feel pretty taut and uncomfortable at times, but warm baths and Bio-Oil help a lot.  Here's an amusing photo Jesse took the other evening (from above my head) after one of my Bio-Oil applications (that's the only reason I ever walk around the house with an exposed belly).  I look fairly misshapen, which would either be because Quinn was struggling to escape or I was having one of my mega-frequent Braxton Hicks contractions.  These poor laser cats don't know what to think.
