baby update

appointment today was really good - they're so much more exciting now that we're getting to the end. baby's heart rate was 136, so it's slowing down as it should. his head is down right now - at least for the moment. hopefully he'll decide to stay that way when it comes time to push.

we took our childbirth education class at st. agnes last week - and of course we have stories :). megan got in trouble a few times (not drinking water, laughing during relaxation dancing, not breathing deeply enough, etc.). chris' shoes smelled SO BADLY from playing golf the day before (wet grass) that he actually had to purell his feet during lunch break. the shoes ended up getting thrown in the trash that night. but only AFTER he had to wrap his legs around my pregnant body (with his feet in my face) while i practiced my breathing exercises ....

final product of "pool party" blue and "limolicious" green.

sawyer got himself 7 years of bad luck by sitting under there.

that's practically his whole life. sad.

last few strokes!

final product - looks quite a bit better in reality.

megan did just about all of the blue painting by herself :)

our choices this morning ... the orange was the original purchase.

if anyone's looking for a gallon of "squash" orange, let me know.

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).
