19 weeks pregnant & Easton's nursery bedding

Below is my picture for week 19. My stomach is really getting "out there".... it's hard to believe we're almost halfway there!

In other exciting news, our nursery bedding set arrived yesterday! I had been searching for a baseball bedding set, even prior to knowing that we were having a boy (I just wanted to be prepared) :-) Surprisingly, finding JUST baseball bedding & accessories is rather difficult. There are all types of mixed sports sets with soccer, football, basketball & baseball, but we only wanted to go with a baseball theme for Easton (after all, his name is found on baseball bats!).

I found a perfect set online, only to find out that it had been discontinued. Luckily, I don't like to take "NO" for an answer, so I continued to search sites like Craigslist & EBay. I stumbled across the EXACT bedding set that we wanted on EBay that was new and still in the original box. I made my bid & won it for 60% off of the retail value!!! So not only did we get the bedding that we wanted, but we also got it super cheap. Can't beat that, huh? :-)

The set included a comforter, bumper, sheet, 2 window valances, a pillow, hanging diaper bag and caddy for the changing area. All of the pieces range in light blue to a deep blue (almost purple color) and have the "Baby League" theme, which include baseball bats, hats, jerseys & ball gloves. Here's a picture of the comforter:



Another interesting bit of information: at the top right corner there is the #7, which was Jason's baseball number when he was growing up. Bottom left you'll see a #4, which has always been my lucky number. And on the shirt (bottom, middle) there's the number 3, which represents the number of people soon to be in our little family! Pretty cute, don't you think? :-)

That is amazing how the comforter has those particular numbers on it I think...just was meant to be!

Not only are you smart, but you are a shopping DIVA! You are amazing!

Love the baseball theme but love that the numbers are so special!

I think you should scrapbook it.

Hi Keely - love the number aspect. BUT, if you add the 7 plus the 3 (for 10) and 4 (for your lucky number - total is 14 and divided by 2 is back to Jason's number of 7. The baseball theme is so.............cute.
