It's a Star Wars life

Demitri chillin' in his Star Wars print fitted diaper just laying around in his crib with special Star Wars bedding mommy made. We're both amazed that daddy hasn't tried to claim both as his own.

People always ask Daniel and I "what if he doesn't like Star Wars?", well then he doesn't. It's not like we would disown him or anything over that. My parents are huge NASCAR fans but I hate it. It didn't stop them from enjoying it, it just meant that they didn't take me to the track with them when they went. I doubt that we will have the "problem" kids love to love what their parents love, especially what their daddy loves. And since daddy is a huge Star Wars nut Demitri will likely be into it as well, at least for a little while when he is growing up. If not who cares he will find his own thing to be into and just have to deal with it when Star Wars things do take place.

One moth old

Ugh time just needs to slow down!
My baby boy is a month old today and growing up too fast...but I am loving every second of it! Not much has changed in the last week, but so much has changed since his birth. Which is still so surreal to me, every time I look at him as he sleeps I am just blown away by how amazing he is and how blessed I am to be his mommy.

Yesterday we took him with us to "see" episode 1 of Star Wars, he did really well! He slept through half of it and then woke up wanted to eat, and just chilled the rest of the time. Not that it would have mattered if he would have fussed since we had the theater all to ourselves!
My little Jedi all dressed up in his robes.

And of course Daddy was loving his outfit and decided to dress up in his as well.

And our family photo. You have to love (proud) nerdy families.

Nursery in progress

Yay we finally started working on the nursery! I am pretty excited about it. i kept bugging Daniel about it yesterday but he said no not till today. So the crib ishttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif now set up and the bedding is sitting in it looking pretty, next we have to patch up the couple holes in the wall (from old shelves) and paint! After that we'll get the new shelves put up and D's Star Wars toy decor on them! It will definitely look great when it's all finished, I ordered a few things yesterday (bobble head to go with the one we already have and this sick Wampa rug that I have wanted for a long time but had no reason to get till now!)
Obviously full pictures will be up when we are completely done with it but here are pictures of today's progress.Dad getting started on setting up the crib!Halfway doneThe last crew going inAnd complete!Bottom sheet that I "made". I need to decide on making bumpers or not.D's blanket and teddy bear that we made for him (and Dad's lightsaber)

Daniel is definitely stoked about it all, he has been telling me since we got married that he wanted to make his son's room Star Wars themed, at first I wasn't all for it but I'm glad that we are doing it now it's been fun finding stuff for it and seeing him enjoy setting things up.
Now to get him excited about fixing the wall and painting. Mission impossible-accepted!

Wrapped in cool

D you are going to be one cool kid.
What with your custom made Star Wars themed room, all the toys you will be passed down, and of course your rockin parents. Today I have been working on making you your blanket (that I will wrap you in at the hospital and on the way home).
It's nothing fancy but it looks pretty sweet and it's super soft and squishy. Plus you will look adorable wrapped up in it and dragging it around behind you when you get older. I am making your amazing Star Wars blanket from a true vintage pillow case that I just took the seems out of and a brown minky blanket with satin boarder. Both dad and I think that it looks great, it does bug me a little the the print is face opposite of each other but dad says that will just make it so people can always see what it is and bask in the awe of Star Wars. Your dad is a bit of a dork but you will learn to love him.

Oh, I can not wait to actually get your room started! I have sooooo many ideas in my head that all look great I just need to get them organized and out there so they can be even more amazing! I'm going to try and keep it simple though and not over do it, I think that will be best, you know not to cluttered or overwhelming.

Dying Easter eggs

Tomorrow, as you should all know, is Easter so Daniel and I stayed home colored eggs this afternoon. We made 4 special Star Wars ones. Plo Koon, Boba Fett, Ahsoka Tanno, and the rebel alliance symbol. I think that they look pretty sweet. My little brother is definitely going to love them (them being the Star Wars ones) when he sees them later!
If you have a post of you/you and your kids coloring Easter eggs leave a link, I would like to check it out.




Happy (almost) Easter!
