we now regret having high vaulted ceilings.
at least it cured chris' fear of being on a ladder.

had some downtime to pose for a belly-shot.

exposed to paint fumes??

so far we're very proud of our priming job ... now we just need to decide on colors (yes, we've already purchased the colors .... and yes, we've already changed our minds ... more than once ... this is the most expensive nursery ever).

and so begins the 3rd trimester ...

the latest photos, taken today at about 28 weeks. we've officially survived the first 2 trimesters, although sometimes i wondered how it would be possible. went to the OB today and got a surprise ultrasound (they were super busy, put us in the ultrasound room due to space issues, so we lucked out in getting a free and unscheduled peek). it wasn't as great as last time, but he was still in there (in case all of the kicking and moving 24/7 didn't give that away).

sawyer's new playpen

finally got around to building our front fence! still needs some landscaping and painting, but it's up and functional - which means sawyer can go out and not run back to the SPCA.
