Finishing Touches

Leave it to Uncle Louie to start a comment revolt relative to our lack of posts lately. And leave it to Liz to latch onto that revolt, throwing out big pregnancy words that make me uncomfortable, even though I'm not totally sure what they mean. Regardless we're back!

We continue to try to put finishing touches on preparing for LBMF's arrival. I really can't believe it, but we're down to four weeks!!! And as I make that statement, in my head I hear my father laughing his semi-evil "now you'll see" laugh.

First we had our new windows installed. And I'm really impressed with how easy that installation is. I think I can definitely do that job myself. Anyhow, I have a piece of advice for soon to be homo's Amanda and Kenny. When you hire someone to do some work at your house and in the midst of that work they turn to you and say, "Ut-Oh!" That's not a good thing! It seemed that the manufacturer shipped the wrong sized windows for two of the windows in the nursery. They were about six inches too short, so we're stuck waiting about another week to FINALLY complete that room.

We used all of our wonderful Babies 'R' Us gift certificates to purchase a dresser for LBMF, so thanks to everyone who helped make that possible! That's a funny story too. Basically, I think that I shut down the entire computer system for Babies 'R' Us when making that purchase. I was at the register for about a half hour and at one point there were about 8 customers waiting on three store employees who were frantically trying to make the computer work. I just stood there smiling because no matter how aggravating it was, I could not possibly be more angry than the pregnant women standing in line behind me.

We also picked up a rocker, courtesy of Grandmom and Pop Jones (thank you very much!) that is on my honey-do list to get upstairs this weekend. And we added some wall decor to the nursery. Check out the pictures below!
