Baby stuff

Dan and I are getting really excited about the baby, and we've been busy getting things ready for his arrival. Last week Danny actually braved his worst nightmare and came with me to Joann to pick out the fabric for Nate's bedding set. Let me just say, that was an adventure. Dan doesn't quite get the concept of matching fabrics (by color, pattern or even weight-trying to pair a light cotton print with a flannel). And he doesn't see the necessity of patterns. He seems to think they're mainly suggestions and can be easily altered or even ignored.
We've also been busy assembling our teddy bear pirate crew. So far we have bears, a dog, an elephant, a monkey, a frog and a lion. And Dan has been making rudimentary sketches for the wall mural. He's got a pirate ship, an island with a treasure chest and palm tree, a whale, a shark, a sea monster and who knows what else before all is said and done. I can't wait til we have a place of our own and can actually paint the nursery however we want to! In the mean time, we got some toy pirate ships and Pirates of the Caribean action figures to use as decorations in his room, and as toys when he's big enough to play with them.
The only thing is that Dan is starting to get kind of jealous because Nate's wardrobe dwarfs his own. He pointed that out as I brought home yet another stack of adorable outfits for Nate. Actually, Nate has more closet space than Dan, and he was using Dan's unused space on his side of the closet until that ran out, and now I'm trying to find another place to put Dan's clothes. That's when Dan drew the line and said no more.
