38 weeks

I'm not sure if I can get any bigger! I had my Dr. appointment this morning and doc was shocked to see that I'm already dilated to a 5 and 75% effaced. What? I went into work after my appointment and worked a full day. Sitting on a beach towel of course. :) No labor pains yet. We are just going to wait it out. Doc said he could come tonight. Will keep you posted!

happy friday the 13th!

Nursery Dresser

This piece was found on craigslist last month for $25 with the idea of using it for baby's nursery. We love new projects and were so excited to start working on it. We knew that this dresser had a lot of potential.

Before:



Inspired by the designer Orla Kiely, we chose colors we liked to brighten the baby's room. I am so proud of Christian for all the hard work he put into this dresser (while pregnant mama had to stay away from the fumes). If we had it our way, we would refinish furniture all day, every day. It's too much fun.

Charley Harper

Our new favorite modernist artist, best known for his wildlife prints. I love the simplicity of his art and the colors that he uses. C and I just purchased a few of his educational books, flash cards and floor puzzle for baby... and you will not believe where we found it...Old Navy! I don't know if you guys have been in Old Navy lately but they have definitely stepped it up a notch with their style, they must have hired new designers. Check out more of his prints at http://www.charleyharperprints.com/. We are big fans.
