The Nursery....a work in progress

So I wanted to post a pic of the nursery, as it looks now, since a few people have asked about a theme.  To be honest, we are all over the map in terms of a theme.  The closest we have come to anything specific is vintage transportation but I pretty much add items as I go...the stuffed animal moose head above the crib for instance.  (Felt compelled to buy that thing and justified the expense by giving it to Steve as a birthday gift...terrible, right?)
 
For now I am proud of the paint work I did on the crib.  I am not much of a do-it-yourself-er but I decided I wanted the crib a farmhouse red so off to the paint store I went.  I don't do anything fast anymore so it took me almost a month to finish the project.  This was actually my old crib that both Warren and I slept in when we were little.  Seemed fitting to clean her up and use her again.

In any case, the nursery is still a work in progress.  I move stuff around every day trying to figure out what would be most practical. I still need to figure out an area for the changing table and I want to add some storage shelving but I'm not 100% sure where I want to put everything yet so I am trying not to rush it.

I'll keep you posted as I go.

Our trip to Baldy...

I have been terrible about posting.  For the 3 people that may actually read this, I apologize.  =)

Baby Hank seems to be doing well.  I am now 36 weeks pregnant and feel like I am ready to pop.  I know women have been doing this for ages, but I seriously wonder how my belly is going to stretch any more at this point.  The heaviness that I feel at the bottom of my belly is also a strange feeling.  When I get up, I can feel the weight of the baby drop and it is the oddest sensation.  Its does not necessarily hurt, its just a tremendous amount of pressure in an area where there was formerly none.  So, so different...all these new feelings.

Steve and I found ourselves bored for the labor day holiday so we decided to go exploring.  As many of you know, (much to my dismay) Steve has been on a hunting kick for quite a while now.  I keep hoping he will move on to a different hobby, but - alas - it has not happened yet.

So...we decided to take a drive up to the mountains so that Steve could scout out possible areas for him to go hunting for deer.  Being the good wife I am...I agreed to go. The drive took us up to Mt. Baldy which is a ski resort during the winter.  They keep the ski lift going year round, however, since mountain bikers and hikers use the area in the summer months.  Steve convinced me that we HAD to see the top of this mountain.    And so...after much huffing and puffing (literally) I waddled my way on to the ski lift and we went up the mountain. It really was quite beautiful.

We shot a few pics and none, unfortunately, show my bulging belly but I will post one soon.  In the meantime, here is quick glimpse at our Monday.
