We’re still expecting! I guess she wants to stay in there for awhile longer. We should have big news within a week though as we may not wait for her to make up her own mind.
Monique and I are enjoying being at home together. The holidays were nice and quiet and we’ve been staying home mostly. We got out yesterday to run some quick errands, but when you’ve got a tiny human on your front-side, it’s not easy to stay out in public walking around a lot. It amazes me how many people become the friendliest folks you’ve ever met when you are with child and so close to the big day. Pretty much everyone we came in contact with asks when the baby is due. Monique has lost patience with it I think as she didn’t gush with motherly love when she said, “last Sunday.” I think we’re ready for this ship to sail.

As promised, here’s some photos of the nursery so far. It’s close to being done, and may look exactly like this when the kid moves in, but there are still some things I want to get to. The cork wall is still there (excluded from the photos) and the ceiling fan should be replaced someday with something that’s a bit more appropriate. But other than that we’re very happy with how it’s shaping up!

The nursery is coming along nicely. After holding off for awhile until after we got done with all of the showers and some traveling we’ve made a lot of progress on the baby’s room. She’ll be in the tiny room that I grew up in — ironic, eh? It looks quite different than it did back then. I’ll have photos before too long, but essentially we have kept it the color we painted it when we moved in, which is a warm goldish yellow; the floor is the wood that’s in the rest of the house, a deep brown; and the accent color is a deep red. We’ve got a red shag rug on the floor, some red curtains over the closet instead of doors, a new dresser and a new bookcase, the crib, and new recessed lighting that my dad and I put in on Saturday. We still ave to hang a couple of pictures and put some things where they go, of course. The last big thing I want to do is some work on the wall that has cork covering it. I’m thinking of having part of the lower wall chalkboard so we can teach her it’s okay to write on walls. Hmm.. maybe we should re-think that one?
I know, totally unlike me not to post photos, but I want it to be done before that happens. Stay tuned!
