We’ve made some more, albeit slow, progress in the nursery.
The shelf went up:
As did all of the Roman Shades:
(Yes, that is a very bright shade of lime green!)
We didn’t get much that we registered from at our amazing Shower this past weekend, but one of the things we did get was cash with the […]

But first an update on Knut vs. Oliver 2008.. Thank you SO much everyone for voting. Opinions seem to be pretty much evenly divided, so I’ll have to do what I always do when I can’t make up my mind… buy both!

One of the last things I want to tackle before calling […]

Poor Jeff got home from work at 8:30 last night and had little to no interest in finishing the mural… He didn’t seem to think “because I said we would on the blog” was any great incentive! He eventually relented and worked for the next three hours straight doing mostly cleanup work and painting the […]

When you obsess over the little things like whether or not there should be a monkey in your unborn child’s nursery, life has a way of shaking you up and making you see reality.
This is what happened Saturday morning when I woke up to some bleeding which spiraled into a whole preterm labor scare that […]

Wow, so yesterday’s post clearly stirred the pot more than I expected. Re reading it does seem like I am totally neurotic and unappreciative.. which I suppose I am to some extent. I just over analyze everything to the point of stagnation, which is the subject of endless frustration for Jeff who is the complete […]

Or procrastinating on the nursery tree mural project.
This past weekend I decided that the tree on the wall behind the glider is too much for such a small space.. where we really need it is on the wall behind the crib. All this does is make the project more difficult because instead of a […]

Note the new lamp too!
I like the trunk of #2 and the leaves of #1. Figures!
Thanks to you all, I’ve found several companies that do custom decals (I want more control over the color than the premade ones provide)

After yesterday’s incoherent blather I decided that rather than post the millions of combinations of bedside tables and curtains that I mocked up in photoshop I will post just the one I think I have decided on and all of it’s elements:

I appologize for the project hopping, I realize that I have way too many projects going on at the moment for anyone (including me) to keep straight.
Don’t hate me because I ramble.. I think its “pregnancy brain” or that’s what I’m going to attribute it to anyway.
