Okay, so I may have built this up too much, but I’m proud of it. You’ll still get a good laugh at how small of a project this was (especially when you see it finished), but it does add a nice touch and it sure let me put in a bit of my own creativity into Lyla’s room.

This past week we finally came to within a hair’s breadth of being done with Lyla’s room. Jina finished hanging the art where she wanted it, organized the shelves a bit for now and hung the new sign on the door.

The only thing that really is left is to finish off the sign. You’ll see it in the pictures below, but Jina said it was lacking something, I came up with an idea and turned it into my tiny little art project for the weekend.

You’ll see it completed in a day or two. It’s totally not a big deal, but I’m proud of it.

Enjoy the pictures!

Tuesday marks Week 37, meaning we’re technically only around three weeks away from the due date. But since my last post kind of pointed out the fact that Jina feels it’s coming much sooner, we’re expecting Lyla much sooner.

This weekend was an incredibly busy one for me as far as work goes. We have a big project that will have a big final test this coming week, so there was a ton of clean up stuff for me to do, which kept me busy.

Tuesday is the start of Week 33, a place that seemed a long ways off back when all this started. Now, the due date is coming quickly and the excitement keeps growing!

Two nights ago Lyla was moving like crazy again, feet poking up out of Jina’s belly, and I could really feel her moving around like never before.

She certainly seems ready to come on out of there to me.

So the due date is November 30th I guess, but I honestly don’t think it will be that long. I’m all for her coming early.

After two long weekends of painting, we’re finally done.

It started with the first coat of a lighter pink, which I showed you guys last week. We had to do two coats of that to get it to really look great.

This week we added three horizontal stripes of varying widths on two of the walls, just to add some uniqueness to the room. I freaked out at first because when the new color went on (it’s a darker pink), it was the EXACT same color as the lighter pink.

But it quickly dried and really looked great.

Here are some pictures!

We started really going to town on the Baby’s Room this past weekend, and with the help of our friends Scott and Deb, we’ve already painted the entire thing.

All that is left is some horizontal stripes on two of the walls in a darker shade of pink. That is going to turn out really nice and we may even get more creative with it.

Here are some photos from before, then some from after. It’s not much yet, but in one of them you can really see the pink.
