30 weeks and weekend projects

Over Memorial Day weekend my Mom, sister and nephew came down from St. Louis to help paint the baby's room. It was a lot of work initially taping off all of the stripes. Greg - the math wiz - did all the calculations. We were able to put a couple of coats of paint up. There is still a little touching up that needs to be done. But it looks great! I love the color! We also painted the hallway and the treadmill room.

Greg trying to pretend like he's tired from taping the walls. Too bad he couldn't stop smiling!

The somewhat finished project with the tape still up. The stripes were done in the same color, but we used an egg shell and a semi-gloss finish, so the stripes are subtle. It's easier to see in person! I promise there is a difference!

3/4 of the way through this thing we call pregnancy (or 30 weeks)! This is Greg's first attempt to capture the belly.



Then I asked him to get a picture more on my level...so he kneeled to be funny!

That shirt almost doesn't fit anymore! I guess it's finally sinking in that we're having a baby in a couple months. In fact, I've worn maternity pants all this week at work! Those things are comfortable! I'm going to keep wearing those even after I deliver! Everything checked out fine at the last OBG visit. I'm not sure when the next sono is. But I'm sure our little girl will be waving whenever they take the picture!

This past weekend we were up at the lake house again to work on the bathroom this time. This is what the shower used to look like with nasty cobwebs and everything!

We tore down the drywall and plywood around the shower and put up new backerboard and tile.

Then we textured the walls and we'll paint those next time we're up there. This was the first time Greg or I had ever tiled. I think it turned out awesome! We just have to grout and seal it next time we're up there. But we're getting close. Greg is going to have a boys mini-weekend in a couple weeks while I'm up in St. Louis for the baby shower. I doubt they'll get any work done. I'm sure it'll be all fun and no work! He only makes his pregnant wife do work up at the lake!

This weekend is my birthday weekend and when Greg asked what I wanted to do I said "NOTHING! Nothing at all! Just rest! No home improvement projects please!" So that's what we're doing! Staying in town and not doing anything! Glorious!

After knowing each other for aout 8 years, Greg did get me the most appropriate present ever this year! I've been craving hot dogs lately and Monday a coupon came in the mail for a FREE package from Oscar Mayer! I thought it was just a random coupon, but Greg said he want online and requested it for me! I love hot dogs, coupons and getting stuff in the mail...what more could I want?! He's the best!
