Nesting Begins!

I might get in trouble for this one...

Pregnant Bridesmaid

Steph's Friend Amanda got married last weekend, and we have some rare pictures of the ever elusive baby bump...
















I don't know what Steph is laughing at, but it must've been funny.

Steph and Nate compare. He is about 3 weeks farther along than Steph is. They don't know the sex yet, but he's pulling for a boy...

Crazy Eyes

So, what do you get when you combine crazy eyes here to the left with some power tools (below), and a long night doing whatever his pregnant wife tells him to do?



You get a fully painted nursery, a chair rail, some blinds and a ceiling fan installed. Fo sheezy! The Nursery is begining to take shape and I still have all my limbs. The air compressor and nail gun were life savers when it came to puttin up the chair rail. Kudos to daddy for the sweet christmas gift. This really cut down on dents in the wall, bent nails, and saved a ton of time. After I finished the chair rail, Steph decided SHE was going to hang the blinds. Seemed like a simple enough task. An hour and a half later I finished putting them up. Talk about a pain. I was feeling like Bob Vila after I put up the chair rail, but the blinds put me in my place. Lots of profanity and monkey like gestures of frustration.



After we got the blinds up, it was about 10:00pm, and Steph decided that the ceiling fan needed to be hung. To hang the fan, the old light fixture needs to be removed. Needless to say, at 10 o'clock at night, there isn't too much light from outside. So, I got to hang a ceiling fan while Steph held the flashlight. Tons of fun. Remarkably, everything worked on the first try. Back to Bob Vila status. Sweet!



We picked up the crib last week courtesy of a borrowed truck from Jamie-san. It is still in the box and will be until we get the carpet down in the baby's room, but at least it is in our possesion (a heck of a lot better than the Kittles fiasco). Hopefully we will have the room completely ready by the end of the month.
