I had intended to work on the nursery this afternoon while Alex snuggled with her daddy but instead I fell asleep and it was great because it turned out to be a 4 hour nap! After dinner (thank you robin for the ziti and rolls!), I did get in the nursery a bit. I got …
The second week is wrapping up (man does time fly fast) and little Alex is now 5lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long. Her 2 week appointment went great and she doesn’t have to go back for 6 weeks (2 month appt). She’s eating great (9-11 times a day) and obviously growing fast. She doesn’t …
A huge THANK YOU to my dad and brother this week, without whom we never would be so close to not only finishing the nursery but also the tvroom now! The house is so quiet now that the week has ended and everyone has headed home (PJ left Thursday night and Dad left this evening). …
Our little Alex just couldn’t wait to join us and at 37 weeks pregnant my water broke while I was at work (at 2pm). Since I’m only in the office 2 days a week this was unexpected and such a surreal experience. With no contractions the doctor said I could drive to the hospital, so …
The closet is almost done – it just needs some trim (door, baseboard and crown) and the ceiling to get finished. The cedar is finished and the door is installed (although it needs to be trimmed down some to fit nicely). The door is actually the other entrance door we removed from the room. We …

Monday night I finished vacuuming the walls/ceiling of the nursery and got it all primed! It was tiring but totally worth it. I also started cleaning up the work area (livingroom/diningroom) in preparation for company this weekend. I got rid of all the wood we don’t need, organized what we’re keeping and it’s already in …
Unfortunately we’ve been so busy we’ve been bad about taking lots of pictures so I don’t have as much as I usually do of each step. This weekend was great. It started out per usual on Friday night (because my Ryan is awesome like that) – and even though he had lots of work to …
Well as expected, Ryan got busy at work and Tuesday night I was exhausted when i got home so I pretty much fell asleep on the couch then moved to bed at the more appropriate time of 9pm 🙂 But Wednesday I worked from home which meant I had a ton more energy in the …
And day actually. At lunch time I got a first coat on the wall seams and a third coat of spackle on the lower half of the screws throughout the nursery. That was the extent of my lunch time energy but luckily Ryan was able to get home at a normal hour (normal for the …
