Does that thing really say 4?! Eeeeeek! I have a doctor's appt this morning, so hopefully I'll get a better idea of where things stand. Thought for sure I was going Saturday night - contractions 5 min. apart for a few hours, but then I laid down and they went away. Things have been quiet yesterday and today, just lots of rolling around and trying to push his way out my side. Pleasant! LOL
It was another very productive weekend. First thing Saturday, we had a photo shoot with the girls. I haven't had my backdrop out in months, but when I saw a framed picture of a girl holding a starfish in the Pottery Barn Kids window last weekend, I KNEW I had to do this for the baby's room. Tom was an excellent assistant and I did a very good job of staying calm (which is almost impossible for me to do when taking pictures of our little spazzos). They were very excited about having their pictures in his room, though, so that certainly helped. (PS - Starfish is from Pottery Barn - I wasn't able to find it online, though). I have the pics framed in 8x10 white frames above his crib and they are so cute. The room is juuuust about done, so I will definitely share pics soon. If only I could find some barrels like these for the room - good toy storage and so nautically fun. Ideas?
Tom then spent many, many hours painting our bedroom, which is very green now. It's definitely the boldest room in the house, but I find it very soothing. The girls were being SO bad in Lowe's (running around in circles, knocking down displays) that the woman behind the counter ended up mixing 3 gallons of the darkest color on the card instead of the middle one (Valpar Organic Green), which is what I wanted. I almost lost it in the store and then Tom mixed it with a 1/2 gallon of white and it turned out to be the exact shade I wanted - whew! NEVER a dull moment.
I went out yesterday and picked up that brown damask pillow from Home Goods along with another pillow in this fabric at Kirklands for a solid colored loveseat to put by the window someday. I would love to spruce up the room with some new artwork, but we have SO many other things on the list. Besides, I HAVE to replace the white plastic curtain rods with some pewter ones very soon because they are sagging from the girls hanging on them and they were only supposed to be temporary.
Speaking of "the list", would love if we could add on to the girls' swingset this summer, wallpaper the powder room and oh yeah, pick up on that whole basement project thing we seemed to have forgotten about ;) I have a feeling we'll be so tired soon that we won't even be able to think past bottles and diaper changes - which is probably why we've been so crazy with work lately. We KNOW our lives are about to change drastically :)
