16 weeks and a changing table update!

Not only did we begin our Babys R Us and Amazon.com registries this weekend, but we got some baby room action started. Well, Glenn did. We picked out paints at Lowes and got the supplies to do work!


Walls are taped off, and ready for action. Glenn deglossed, sanded and painted the changing table. I am turbo in love with it. 

primed and painted

Valspar color "SWIM"

look at that pretty blue!

The semi finished (Needs to dry) result!

I recently found a blog that had the exact same color scheme (read: eccentric, bright mixed with dark, with emphasis on seafoam blue and gray)


And was stunned to see she painted her table the same! Love it

Her room came out great, I can only hope ours is half as awesome. I now need to find some fun knobs to put on and we should be all set!


We missed 15 week photos (oops) but without further ado, here are some 16 weekers! HOORAY 4 MONTHS!

solid work done!

some bump lovin!

Fab deals and quilt steals!

Ok so no one stole any quilts, but for the cheap cheap price of free, (minus the backing) my mom threw together quilt number 1 (of 5....thousand).


Didn't she do a fab job!? This one shall stay in WV. I call it, "An Essence of Watercolor". Or something. I call it amazing! Bravo, Niter!

Stellar work! I can't wait to see how the others turn out!

We also did some Craigslisting and got a good deal on a changing table. 

It is Storckcraft and retails for about $230-250.00

We got it for $75 bucks, ballin!! It's actually pretty large, See photo of Jerome modeling size

We intend to sand to it down and paint it minty/seafoamy/blueish a'la this

Stay tuned whilst we get our craft on!

Spurts of productivity and such

Glenn decided (oh, Thursday) that this weekend would be the one in which to tackle the wood flooring in the baby's room since we are mid-November and nice weather may be lacking soon. He would need to cut the pieces requiring him some outdoor sawing time (sorry neighbors) and to my proud amazement, he knocked it out in one weekend! This was on top of playing  2 football games and of course a day full of Sunday NFL. Impressive indeed! Some fun in the sun football photos below:

this basically sums up our football team, Love at First Pump

Enjoying the day with Miss Kara! Go Orange!

Fall Football 2011

This of course, does not mean that my end of cleansing the room of clutter and clothes and shoes and lord knows what else is complete....nooooo way not even close. It's stressy for me to even think about, but it WILL get tackled. Soon. Currently there are baskets and clutter all through the house but I am hoping to consolidate soon.


Glenn spent Friday night while I was out for sushi tearing the old carpet up, which apparently was alot of work, ripping out the nails holding everything down.

Fab deal on Pergo! Shade is "oak something or other" (I forget)

Don't worry - the tablet was on hand for up to date football news

Gross under-carpet padding stuff. Be gone!

He had got the first portion of flooring (to the closet door) done before football on Saturday - and finished to rest today! Big props to this weekend project, Glenn is a pro!

Sneaking a peak...

doin work, son!

busy getting those last few in place

Finito!

We (I) decided it would be good to start taking "shots" in the baby's room, so once we start to fill it up with baby things it can be a bit livelier (no more blue wall in the kitchen!). The lighting is alot different with the 2 skylights so do trust I am not this pasty in real life. 

Post jog (2.5 slow miles!) later....

yeah baby yeah!

freckles and floor!
