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!

There’s so much going on right now, I’m at my limit. But that’s a good thing. Between the baby, work, freelance stuff, and California catching on fire (we’re fine, btw), it’s a tough juggling act I’m doing lately.
Baby appointments are every 2 weeks now, we had shower #2 of 3 last weekend in San Jose, a number of critter-related classes are on the calendar in the months to come. We have a name picked out (which is top secret of course) ad we’re working on the nursery, getting it ready for our new daughter.
Weekend before the shower a friend and I went camping up north of Big Bear Lake. We went for two nights and it was really fun, extremely cold, and dark (fire danger was extreme, so we couldn’t have a camp fire!). We went hiking on Saturday pretty much all day and both nights we got some great photographs of the starry sky. For a sample of our handywork, Check out this slideshow!
