More from the nursery...




Today I got the leaves painted on and touched up rough spots on the tree. Eventually I would like to add small family photos to the branches. I also got the rug and a little touch lamp for some extra light. It's coming right along and it's been a lot of fun to put together! I can't wait for Rick to see the progress when he get's home from work!

The nursery... in progress stage 4


Rick hangs our super cute forest friends mobile that Grandma Sandy gave us for my birthday. Check out our progress so far and a close up of the mobile! We are calling it a night for now... back to work tomorrow!

The nursery... in progress stage 3



Rick begins painting our family tree mural... it still has a way to go before it's complete but it's looking great so far! Next up: leaves, little animals and family photos!

The nursery... in progress stage 2



Neko inspects our progress...
"Hmmm- the book shelf needs to be anchored to the wall but this crib looks very sturdy."

The nursery... in progress stage 1


Rick cracks open the crib box... Wow... that looks like a lot of work! Think I will make a pizza run!
When I return he is finished! Way to go daddy- what a cool crib!

Nearly 29 weeks and counting...


Here's mommy right before we left for a 2008-2009 new year's eve party- pretty snazzy huh?! I don't think the horizontal stripes are doing much to slim that belly though!
At nearly 29 weeks I am feeling great and the baby is growing like a weed! At our most recent Dr. appointment, my belly measured at 30 cm! Wow!!! That's one big baby! The heart rate was 131 bpm- which is always so cool to hear! We will start visiting Dr. Su every two weeks for the next four appointments which will take us to March and then we will be at the Dr.'s every week until our little boy makes his appearance! That's a lot of poking, proding and weighing-in over the next two and half months!
Rick and I start our baby classes this month- from childbirth to infant CPR- we hope to get a little more prepared for the job ahead of us. This week we started work on the nursery finaly... right now it's a HUGE mess! But we love the light blue color we chose and are excited to start work on our tree mural. We will post pics as things start to come together.
That's all the baby-news-that-is-news for now... Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and that the year ahead will be full of joy and wonderful new memories!
