Things have been happening....

As the title of this post may tell you, things have been happening.  Lots and lots of things.  I have regained the land of the living pretty much fully.  Though I am still taking my no-puke drugs.  And to be honest, I may just keep taking them.  Why stop what is working, right?  We have been taking a ton of "week" photos, but I won't post them all.  But last week's was pretty interesting....

Yes, we are having a little girl.  Hubbs initial response:  Now I have to buy a gun.  He's so funny.  But yes, there will probably be at some point a gun in the house.  But that's not what this post is about.  This post is about all the OTHER things that are happening.  Like getting the nursery all ready.  The crib, dresser, and block shelving is all put together and currently in it's place (or so we hope - we are waiting on chair to determine final placement).  And this past weekend, we made lamps, and I started making curtains.

I won't detail the whoooole process but here is the lamp pattern....
The curtain fabric is in the background.  And here is the finished lamp!  We made two and love them.  Somehow we decided on pink and green (sageish) as colors and it's working nicely.
Due to a family emergency I was only able to finish one curtain panel.  But I did it and that makes me proud.  Eventually we will have four.  But here is the first one.

I added a close up so you can see the colors.  The day wasn't very bright so it's kind of hard to tell but it's white, brown, green, and pink stripes in varying hues.  I like it and think they go great with the lamps.

We also took a new week photo.  But I'll show you the board for that one.  I wasn't looking so hot.

Isn't hubbs talented?  I'd like to say that I wrote and drew all the pictures but chalk and I don't mix.  Also, something big happened last night!  Hubbs felt the baby move for the first time!  He was very excited.  I guess baby likes bulgoki (korean fire beef).

We are settling on a name (sorry we won't share) but we like it.  The only person I've told is my dad.  But well, he gets to know everything.  Yay for little babies.  I know everyone gets emotional about their kids but this song really gets me going right now...hmmm I wonder why?
