The only thing missing from the Nursery is the BABY!!!

Organizing the mess before Baby comes.

Sleepless Nights

Here it is 6:15 am and I've been up and out of bed since 5:45 am. I have a cold, so I'm not sleeping well at night because I can't breathe. I've been experiencing sleepless night for about a week now and the wierd thing is I'm not tired. Not even right now. I wasn't tired when I went to bed last night. I guess God is just preparing me for motherhood :)

38 weeks!!!

I'm 38 weeks preggers and I wouldn't be a bit sad if our baby decided to come a little early :) Here's a couple new pictures:

Laura is ready to Pop and she looks GOOD!!

The Nursery is FINALLY COMPLETE and tomorrow we'll move furniture in

Tonight I put the finishing touches on the paint and I cleaned the carpet!!! Exciting Night!! Laura is finally ready for the baby to come:-).

I really am happy with the how everything turned out. Tomorrow night, when the carpet is dry, we will put the furniture back in the nursery.

Enjoy the pictures below.




Thank you Nick for helping Me!!

Completed dresser and Nursery beginnings

Here's a couple pictures of the dresser! It's finally finished!! Luke did a WONDERFUL job on it. We are both really happy with the way that it turned out.

Proof that I did some work on the dresser ... I put the knobs on! Luke always jokes on me because I wear my coat around the house - even when I'm not cold :)

Luke with the finished product!

Tonight, Luke started work on the nursery (you can see my last post to see what the plans are for the room). He had to rip out all the baseboards to start with. Luke cut all of the wood tonight. Next, he will start priming the wood, then mounting it on the wall.

One of the corners after Luke took out the baseboards:
The same corner with 1 x 4 instead of baseboards (the wood will eventually be white):

Another wall with the wood on the bottom:

Luke cutting the wood outside. Too bad it gets dark at like 6:00!

This picture kinda gives you the idea for what the wainescoating will look like. There will be a horizonal board on top and bottom and vertical boards spaced throughout the room. It will all be painted white.
This picture gives you an idea for how high the wainescoating will be in the room.

The Nursery

We bought all the wood, primer, paint, caulk, etc. today to complete the nursery. Here's some before shots (I didn't realize how dirty the walls were!)

Luke with his wood :-)

35 Weeks!

Here's me at 35 weeks and one day:

This picture is from a couple of weeks ago when we went to a friend's wedding in Connecticut:

Nursery Plans

We have finally decided what to do with the nursery now that we only have 5 weeks left! Nothin like putting it off til last minute :-) My wonderful husband is going to MAKE wainescoating to put on the bottom part of the walls. We're going to paint the top part of the walls green. He has made a layout in Vizio of what it will look like.

Isn't he so wonderful and talented?!? We'll post pictures of the progress and the finished product as we (and by we I mean Luke) work on it.
