I made it here alive! Click on over to Reviewin’ It Up for all the details!
I’ve finally made it to the computer..
…but not in nearly enough time to write the birth story I had planned! I promise I will do it today and post tomorrow. I’ve been a bit busy!
In any case, I just wanted to pop on here and thank everyone for all the nice comments and well wishes for me and my family this week. You all are so sweet!
And of course, a huge thanks to Jeni for the fabulous “Samuel” gift set and for the giveaway, and to Jenny for all the stuff she’s pillaged from CVS in the last few months.
A real post and pictures to come!
Now all we need is a baby.
I know you’ve all been waiting to see the results of our fabled Ikea trip (What’s that? You haven’t been waiting on tenterhooks? I’m shocked!)… it’s taken a while to get all that stuff put together! But the nursery’s finally (almost) ready, so I thought I’d do some before-and-after pics!
Here’s what the baby’s room looked like before…
As you can see, something had to be done! So two trips to Ikea, a whole lot of money and lots of time spent with an allen wrench later, here’s what we’ve got.
I wish that we had painted the walls, but we never got around to it, and given my track record in picking paint colors (Kate’s room is “Bonita Berry,” otherwise known as the color of Dora’s shirt), that may not be a bad thing.
Speaking of that, anyone have a great idea for turning an insanely bright pink Dora room into one we don’t need sunglasses to enter? That will be my next before-and-after post!
