Oh Me, Oh My (Week 22)

It is about the time in preg-ville to start whining about ailments. My neck, my back... Seriously, I am having some pains in my neck and back, but more importantly in my hands. I have already been to the doctor for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and they suggested wearing wrist sprints at night. I have continued taking vitamin B complex (B12 supplement is recommended for CTS). Unfortunately, the painful, numb, tingling in my hands and up my arm has started so much sooner with pregnancy #2. Apparently this is common too. Argh!

If anyone knows of any safe treatments to relieve the pain, please chime in ASAP.

Shake, Rattle, and Roll: Baby's First Owl

Found this adorable little owl rattle at TJMaxx tonight. Looks like the owl hunt has officially begun for baby M's nursery decor!

Photoshop Collage

Practicing my collage skills in Photoshop. Photo from daycare--his first professional photo session! He looks a little more like his daddy every day.

This was my first collage attempt.

I got a big more creative in this one: adding thicker frames, condensing the layout, and even added some color to a few of the b&w photos.

Sleepy Baby, Wakey Baby

Took some photos of M on the way to daycare this morning. He opted for a mid-morning nap.

Then woke up as D parked the car.

Baby Registries, Yes Registries, Plural

Is it wrong that I need at least four locations to find the items I want for our baby? Or is it that I just create these registries for my own sanity? Probably a little of the two.

Sears (and potentially Walmart) have the crib & changer combo that I like:

Bright Steps 4-in-1 Austin Crib 'n Changer Combo, Espresso

Burlington (AKA Baby Depot), Kohl's, JC Penney, and other online retailers have the 4-piece bedding set I like:

Carter's Forest Friends Bedding

Here are some of the other adorable accessories:

Carter's Forest Friends Valance

Enchanted Hollow Canvas Wall Art

Carter's Forest Friends Wall Decals

Carter's Forest Friends Mobile

Babies R Us has supplemental decorations that I like to complement the bedding:

Carter's Tree Tops Rug

Carter's Tree Tops Wall Art

Since I could not find a one-stop-shop, I have cross listed cribs and miscellaneous items on the registries...

Even though the theme has been chosen, these two were both a close second--especially the quilts:

Carter's Green Elephant Bedding

Carter's Tall Tales Bedding

Overall, it is an owl themed nursery. Other cute ideas to follow!
