Weekend updates

As always, we filled the chalk board with "to-dos" this weekend and did our best to complete them by Sunday.  Kevin's been getting the wrath of "nesting mode", but he's a trooper.

This weekend's big project was painting the nursery and assembling the crib: check and check! (both thanks to Kevin) 

Below are pics of  "Stage 1".  We'll update you as things progress in nursery land!


A blank, and messy slate


Getting started Friday night


Finished product on Saturday morning!


Everything looked great once we painted the second coat Saturday morning, but Kevin wanted it perfect, so he spent another half hour going around with a touch up brush- how cute! 

And I dilly dallied around the house and took pictures of myself and random things  :)




My favorite baby dress so far!  Got it in SF last weekend

Baby closet.  Melt my heart....


Another adorable SF find.  So practical  ;)


Self portrait belly pic- 24 weeks (actually, 23 weeks, 5 days)


He moved into the hallway with his touch-ups. 
Guess we're both a little OCD...


Printed templates of crib bedding


Random pic.  Our recently renovated office/music room...we love this new layout.


Oh and I got the cutest shirt from my cousin a few weeks ago! 

Check it out:




It cracks me up every time I wear it!!

Once the painting was done, we set up the crib.  I actually helped with this project!


Getting everything tightened up


Proud Daddy!


Then we had this hilarious idea to put Minnie in the crib.  She wasn't amused... a few hours later she forgave us.  But at least we know it'll hold 16+ pounds  :)


Mommy practice


Baby practice!

That's all for now!  We'll probably take a break from the nursery for the next few weeks while we order crib bedding and start on some yard projects, but we'll be sure as always to keep you posted along the way.

Have a great week!

Ah! I love it! You look great, Tanya, and so does the baby's room! That yellow dress is adorable. I have a feeling little Abigail is going to be one stylish girl!

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
