Hi all!  Sorry to have been so absentee from the old blog.  I've been very busy baking a (big) bun.  :)  Actually between trying to read about childbirth, baby care and getting my stuff at work ready to be gone for maternity leave, I've been gonzo busy...  With a side of fiction reading, getting some of that done before I have less time and energy!  

Only 2 1/2 more weeks until my due date.  We'll see when baby girl decides to come.  :)

I have loads of baby shower pics to post, just need to get them ready.  In the meantime though, I just want to say, I feel SO blessed to have such amazing family and friends.  Thank you all for the love and support, it means a lot to me.  HUGS.

Projects projects projects....

Curtains for the nursery in progress. I've got all the strips sewn together, now I just have to finish them up! I wanted just nice bright colors, nothing gender specific (read: pink).

I've got a couple paintings (one started, one in the works) for the nursery, but I'm a little nervous to post them based on this. I believe Greenbeanbaby has taken down the specific examples, but someone had obviously and blantantly stole her artwork. We all get inspired by one another's work of course, but these were her designs with a few details changed, really sad. Makes it hard to want to share what you're working on when you have to worry that someone will make it their own and I wouldn't be able to do a thing about it.



Hubs's mom repainted the nursery for us! It was a pale gray that you didn't realize was kinda dark until you saw the room all crisp and white. What a relief to have that part done!


This is a lovely nightstand that my dad made for me. Only took me 4 or so years, but I finally tiled the top! I've since finished tiling and grouting, need to take a final picture.

All dressed up...

All dressed up for my cousin's wedding reception. 30 1/2 weeks pregnant (feeling huge! check out the side angle, aye caramba). And here's a shot of the cute updo my sis-in-law to be gave me.

I'm 32 weeks (as of tomorrow) and probably even bigger than in this pic. The baby moves around a ton, some big moves that are so distracting when I'm in a meeting or driving. It's so cool, yet bizarre to have a little person growing inside me. Can't wait to meet her!

Rainy Monday...

Lovely print from Katie M. Berggen Art & Design.




We watched Son of Rambow this weekend. I wasn't sure how it would be, but it was good and not too sappy. Great little actors!

Hoppy belated Easter!

These guys are a riot...
