Well, I'm sorry to anyone who has been checking the blog lately for news. There obviously hasn't been much! This month has been so busy with a variety of things that I rarely even thought of what to post.
Things are progressing well. I'm in week 30 already - only about 10 to go. I'm getting really antsy to get moving on the "nursery". Right now it is a heap of everything. We have the crib set up and are using it as a storage place for all things baby. The next step will be to move the computer/office area to the already crowded "guest/tv room". Not sure how that is all going to work out, but it has to so it will. Then we can organize the baby stuff we've accumulated and do a little bit of decorating.
I think we will keep the decorations minimal. We will put up a border and maybe some curtains (which are purely aesthetic - they serve no functional purpose other than to tie together the Classic Pooh theme) and possible some wall decor if we get some. I actually thought about trying to be artistic and painting my own wall hangings on small canvases...but that could be altogether futile and frustrating. We'll see.
Otherwise we will leave the nursery rather simple. We have a crib and a glider rocker but need a changing table/dresser. Half of the closet is already claimed, so hopefully we won't need more than half the closet for this tiny one. I can't imagine needing more, but I've already been suprised at how much stuff is recommended or necessary for this baby!
Well, I'm off to MI on Saturday the 4th and Brad is off to bring home the bacon - Elk-bacon that is. He'll be hunting elk at the cabin next week. Let's hope he comes home with a big (and tender-juicy) one!
Hi Kris!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to hear that everything is going well with you and Brad. And it so exciting to hear about the new little one on the way! I have been really slacking on the communication area. Sorry about that. We'll have to catch up soon.

Hi, This was fun to read. Do you remember being 10 weeks pregnant? We're so thankful you and the baby are doing so well. And we are so eager for you to visit. I think that changing table might just show up someday and surprise you. Wish I could come out and help you set up the nursery. I think you will find you have enough room. Lots of the equipment is used in other parts of the home and car, not just in the nursery.
