Nesting Projects & 38 Week Belly Pics

OK Baby, we're ready for you! Amazingly, I just about have all my nesting projects finished, which is unheard of prior to a baby's arrival (at least in my experience). So, I must be missing something! But, in the meantime, I will share the completed projects!

Some of these projects have been in the works for awhile so I'm excited to finally post some of the "in the process" pictures.

Henry helping to assemble one of the many pieces of furniture purchased in the last few months . . .

Henry just loves working with tools and is surprisingly very good at it!

On my birthday (wayyy back in May), Nate and Henry took it upon themselves to surprise me by putting together the bassinet. We didn't use one of these with Henry and he was an awful sleeper as a newborn, so our hope is this will be money well spent. I know, I know, but at least it makes us "feel" like we have some control!

Henry going "Night Night" in the bassinet basket and checking out the closet in his new room. It was very exciting at first, because that is where the ball pit balls from his 1st birthday were stored. It is much less exciting now filled with clothes!

And Henry checking out his "new" bed. Technically we bought the same exact crib as he had in the nursery, but it felt new to him! And we felt a little crazy buying another crib when he was already 2, but since he's never once tried to climb out and sleeps so well in it, we decided not to change up his routine! And the bright side is it converts to a toddler bed, so it should grow with him!

And the finished product of Henry's new room!!

And the baby's new room (we decided to give it a whole new look so Henry wouldn't feel like it was his old room. And because Mommy decided she wanted a change!). . .

To prove we're still waiting, here are the 38 week belly pics . . .

And these have nothing to do with nesting or the new baby, but Grandma and Henry just looked so darn cute in their matching outfits I couldn't help but share the pics!

Our New Years Project

Henry was up in the office on New Year's Day going through our year end statements . . . Finally, he looked up at us with a look, and we knew what that look meant. After almost 4 years of living here, it was finally time to get the office in shape. How can he work in that environment? :) . . . So, with Mommy and Daddy's help (and Tilly's supervision), he got to work. Taping . . . Painting . . . Cleaning up . . . Assembling the new desk . . . And even inspecting the quality of our work . . . Boy was he not happy to find the computer in that cupboard when he went back to it after a nap! :) . . . And finally, it was done! Here are the before and after pictures (and yes, I do realize that the mess was at least 90% of the problem, but now the room is complete AND clean!) . . .
