Shower Invitation

I also wanted to post this picture. Travis took the picture of me at about 24 weeks and my best friend Anne came up with the idea to spruce it up on http://www.picnik.com/ - a really fun site for editing photos (I used it for a project I did with my 5th graders a while back). She put all of the shower information on the back with fun paper and used it as the shower invitation!! So inventive, Anne! What a fun, inexpensive idea for an invitation. I think it would be cute in a frame, too and for sure in my scrapbook!

Extreme Makeover - BEFORE!

I am excited to say that Travis has the crib and changing table put together. Whohoo!! It looks great! I LOVE IT! I don't know what I'd do without him. I couldn't even figure out the 3 simple steps to putting the Diaper Genie together!!!!! And he had all of that done in no time!

Here are a few BEFORE pictures--don't you just love all of the random junk in the room, too? As you can see, we've got a ways to go, but it shouldn't be too hard. I pretty much have ideas in my head of where things will go and how I want everything arranged. Then I can finalize my ideas for some painting I'd like to do in the room. Since I doubt we'll decide on a name until she arrives, I might have to do some of the painting after if I do a monogram or something with the name. The top picks are still: Ava, Hazel, and now we've added Zoe to the mix. :) But you just NEVER KNOW!!!!!! We still have 69 days to go!

Isn't it pretty? Did I mention that I LOVE it?? I always wanted a sleigh bed and was thankful Babies R Us has a reasonably priced set compared to many I saw at other places! The only thing we might do is get our own little knobs to put on the corners. It came with some that look kind of like braided yarn (not sure how to describe) and I don't necessarily love them. I didn't notice them in the online picture apparently. And if we do decide to stick with them, it will all be fine!
