Not Really Baby Related... but kinda

Charlie and the Bucket of Paint
Guilty.

I was about to leave to get my nails done, when I noticed that there was a trail of paint on the hardwood going from the basement stairs to the bathroom. Kennen had been painting the night before, so I thought that he must have gotten some paint on his socks. I was a little irritated, but I was in a hurry so, I grabbed my purse and headed down to the basement - and that's when I saw...

At some point, Charlie had gone down to the basement and knocked over a can of paint (yeah, I should have put the lid on tighter). He managed to only step in the paint with one back paw. There were little "Who paw" prints from the spill, on the tile we just put down, up the basements stairs, through the hallway, to the bathroom. Thankfully, Charlie spared my new rug and white couches. We had to let the huge puddle dry for a few days, but it ended up peeling up. Charlie is definitely getting me prepared for having a baby.

Nursery - still a work in progress

I took some pictures so everyone could see what the nursery is looking like so far.

A painting that Aunt Jennifer made for the baby.

When I got home from the shower, I had a surprise from Kendall sitting on my front porch. It was a blue dog (appropriate from Kendall), a balloon and a bunch of baby blankets.

Baby Shower

Saturday, June 13, 2009

Morgan Harris and Jennifer Thurmond did a good job throwing me a baby shower - we didn't even have to play any games. The original plan was to have the party at my house so everyone could see the nursery, but Friday night our air conditioner broke - again. I had to call everyone Saturday morning and let them know that it moved to my mom's house.

I got lots of useful and cute gifts, as you can see from the pictures below. One of the most useful - the pee pee tee pee's that Morgan got me.

Here's my belly at 28 weeks and 5 days.

Clothes, clothes, clothes

I've got two bins full of clothes. Kendall bought me a bunch of cute stuff, I bought some stuff myself and then a girl from work gave me a ton of hand me down clothes. I've got plenty of pajamas for the first year now!

Nursery - Work in Progress

We've started decorating the nursery. The furniture is going to be black, the bedding is black and white toile and I'm going to do sage green accents. Also, he likes frogs - FYI.

Kennen put up chair rail and is in the process of painting, as you can see. We still have a lot of work to do, but I wanted to give everyone a sneak preview.

This isn't my nursery, but I just wanted to show a picture of the bedding.
