I'm in between conference calls right now, so I thought I'd just post these two photos really quickly, since I promised to do it yesterday.
First, Curveball at 33 weeks, 6 days:
I think she looks like Dean, but Michelle (our babysitter) thinks she looks a lot like Cary. Go figure.
Lester said, "Why does she look angry? Is she going to be an angry baby?"
Lord, I hope not. I am praying for "quiet, sweet, compliant, happy and loves-to-sleep" baby. Is that too much to ask?
And here is the centerpiece of the design of Curveball's room. This took me about 90 minutes to do, and I didn't even put up all the pieces. There are other decals that I will eventually put strategically around the room, in bare spots -- along with some framed photos, etc. -- but I don't want it to look too junked-up with stuff, so I'll have to think carefully about where everything goes.
Once the valance is up, and I have her bedding, and the other decals are in place, I'll take shots of the full room, so you can see the whole thing.
But for now -- the Tree of Happy Babyness!
I realize now that I probably could have put it up a little higher, as there are leaves and flowery-things that get hidden by her crib. But I have mentioned here before that I am short, so this was as good as it was gonna get, without a ladder. And I was in no mood for ladders on Monday when I did this, especially not with a head cold and a baby on my bladder.
Anyway, despite it being too low on the wall, I think it turned out pretty cute, eh?
I can't wait until the whole thing is done!
OK...that's all I have time for today, except to say again how much I enjoyed my brunch and conversation with Beth on Sunday. I hope 2012 brings more meetings with more blogfriends! If you all are as awesome as Beth, I am in for a TREAT!
