D-Day

That's right, today is the big day, and no baby yet.  So instead of baby pictures I have one more project for the nursery to show you.

It started with some gray felt and a pattern I created.

 And ended up with a cute gray elephant.

 I was using them to refinish a mobile that had been part of Bella's bedding collection.

 And here is the finished project.

Dance Party

One of Bella's favorite activities is to dance.

Usually she has more fun when mom or dad is dancing with her, but it's a little hard to dance along and use the camera, so this is Bella's debut all by herself.

Children's TLC Duck Derby

Bella's former preschool is having a fundraiser this weekend down at the plaza. 

Now I hope you won't see us down there because we will either be home with a newborn, or still in the hospital.  But the rate things are going, we just might be down there enjoying all the kids activities with Bella.

Project Roundup

 Remember this Craigslist bust of a dresser.

Here is the new look with darker stain, spray painted hardware, and some structural modifications to make it more stabilized.

We also got the lamp spray painted gray.  I have ideas for re-doing the lamp shade but need to know if it needs to be girly or boyish before I start.  This is also the reason I don't have anything on the walls, that will be my opportunity to personalize the room.

I also finished sewing my first bag.  It's big enough to be a new diaper bag, or it could just be my everyday bag.  I guess we'll see what it really becomes here shortly.

Naughty Post

I'm going to get in trouble for this one.

I know it comes from a place of good intentions, but every day my "can't sit still, has to be doing something, list making, has one million things that HAVE to be done" husband comes home from work and asks me - "What have you DONE today"?
Translated means - "What have you done today which has helped your cause to have this baby now"?
If it were up to my husband I would be walking 4 miles every day while eating hot wings and stopping every mile to have sex, and then maybe the baby would come.
Because that's just what a very pregnant person wants to hear every night, that it's somehow her fault that this baby hasn't arrived yet, because she hasn't "done" enough.

It's all a waiting game

Yes, I feel like we are in a holding pattern around here, just waiting for the arrival of baby#2.  And nights like last night don't help.  There is nothing fun about having contractions from 9am until 3am in the morning, and then having them stop with nothing to show for them.  Except missing more than half a nights sleep.  Bella was also in a weird mood last night and stayed up giggling, yelling, and continuously moving around in her bed from 8pm until 1:30am.

This picture was taken at about 1am in the morning, it shows Bella's new PVC rail attachment that Jesse made to keep her from falling out.  I'm sure had it not been in place Bella would have fallen out of bed a minimum of three times with the amount of moving she was doing.
So needless to say no one got a lot of sleep last night.  You could call it practice, but who really needs to practice not sleeping.  We are pros around here on that one!
