32 weeks along and Jack is definetly making himself known. A couple days ago he kicked me so hard I peed a little. He takes after his buff dad. :)
On to my blog of the day: Apparently there are a few people who are concerned with my nursery decoration of choice. For those of you who dont know what I'm doing, Jack's room colors are red, black white and grey with skull and crossbone accents. And not scary skulls. The smiley cartoon looking ones. We came up with the idea because his middle name is Danger, so he needed a rockstar theme. Even though there have been some negative responses, there are far more people supporting it than not.
That being said, yesteday I got a text from my mom. She said my grandma (her mom) told her whether I know it or not, I am creating a death wish for my son by putting skull and crossbone decorations in his room. AND "that it's not her opinion. It's what the Lord says!" I'm really sorry grandma, but God never said putting skull decrortions in jack's room was a death wish. I understand the skull symbol means death and poison and danger and all of those things, but staying relevent means you have to roll with the punches and understand trends change. Being older has to be hard, because there's no way to keep up with it all. But at least knowing things change and supporting younger people even when you dont understand is going to be the most effective way to live. (and probably impossible)
I think every single article of baby clothes I got in my showers have a skull on it somewhere, if it's not all covered in them. IT'S THE COOL THING THESE DAYS! They're on clothes, shoes, blankets, pillows, paintings.....it's just the new thing. It's like a peace sign. Some say it's a broken cross and evil...while others think it means PEACE. Big difference. I just liked the rockstar theme, the fact that it fits his middle name and that it's trendy. A little rocker baby never hurt anybody. Jack was created by God's hand, given to us as a gift and I plan on raising him to know exactly who his Creator is. So you dont have to like the skull idea. It's not your house, or your baby. But at least respect the fact that even though you may disagree, it's not in anyway to be scary or to send a wish of death upon my son. Yes it's out of the norm, but look who you're dealing with.
Here's a couple shots of this so called scaaaary roooooom (Not done, but on it's way):
Cheers!!!
