Nursery Tour

I just posted the nursery tour on Becoming-Mom.. hope you like it! Click here for Nursery Tour… P.S. I would have posted it here, but I wanted to try this nifty new simple viewer/flicrk gallery plug-in and I was afraid it would conflict with another plug-in I have installed. If you use wordpress and want […]

Feltie Mobile Finished

Finally! Unfortunately, the pictures are quite bad.  Jeff’s nesting instinct kicked into high gear yesterday as fear of the baby coming home to a filthy house motivated him to do a top to bottom cleaning.  By the time he was done and had a second to hang the mobile, the beautiful day light had been […]

Dwell Studio Nursery Rug Arrives!

Well, our little detour into non-nursery land was rather short lived… But only because the Dwell Studio Zebra Rug we registered for (given to us as a  shower gift from our uber stylish family friend Renee- no, seriously, she is a movie wardrobe stylist) arrived last night! I LOVE this rug because it’s wool, not […]

Knut & Oliver et al. take Residence

This weekend was all about baby as both of our nesting instincts kicked into full gear. Aside from purchasing everything we still needed from our registry and taking our first childbirth preparation class on Sunday, we also did some work on the nursery and I washed, folded & put away every tiny item of Jasper’s […]

The Home Stretch

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! Now onto the mobiles.. One of the last things I want to tackle […]

Monkey in the Mural!

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 […]

The Tree Grows Leaves

Inspired by your positive comments, I came home after work yesterday and my feet were already aching, but I wanted to get the leaves on the mural so that Jeff could paint the monkey and we could finish up tonight!Here’s the mural with the leaves on, only the monkey left to do now.. Funny how […]

Mural Progress in the Nursery

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 […]

Monkey Business

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 […]
