Out numbered

We made it to the half way point, 20 weeks!!!! It's fun to think that we'll get to meet this little one in only a few short months. Some days that fact overwhelms me, but most days it is fun to think of life as a family of 4!

When we got married Marvin's side of the family was filled with boys, he has 4 brothers and not many cousins with two X chromosomes. I told him that I didn't think we'd ever have a girl, in fact I seriously thought it was impossible! Then his brother had 3 precious little girls, that we miss tremendously! It gave me hope. I will admit that when we were told early on that we may be having a girl I was excited, but a little sad Calvin wouldn't have a little brother to pal around with, I've grown to love being a mom to a little boy. Then our next ultra sound told us we were having a boy, we were just confused.

We had a very compliant little baby this last week for my ultrasound and turns out I'm going to be out numbered in our house, another little boy! We're thrilled!

I am already dreaming projects for this little one. I want to update our stroller. This is our stroller.
But ours has an extra easier to remove pad over the seat part, that I want to recover, to give it more personality. Which one would you choose?
Ta Dots?
or
Teeny Tiny Zoo Pool?
I need to order one of these soon so I can get the fabric and finish this project before we head out to have this baby. (Living in a place where it takes a month to get a package takes some planning!)
Thanks for the help and sharing in our excitement!

  3. First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! As a mother of three boys (and one of those cousins of Marvin's who happens to have two X chromosomes!), I know the feeling of being outnumbered. That being said, I also LOVE being the mom of our busy little guys! As far as the fabric goes, I love the zoo one, but I'm wondering about it showing more spills since it has a white background. (Maybe you don't let your kids have a sippy cup or snacks in the stroller, in which case this argument would be irrelevant.) Anyway, for that reason, I'd probably go with the dots. :0)
