i had a fun time making thank you notes this weekend and finally finished up writing the last of them from all of our awesome baby showers. the new work room set-up is GREAT! next project: felt mobile for nursery…

we are almost done with the nursery, as the baby could arrive anyday now… gub is 38 weeks along, so just two weeks away from our due date. we are adding some final touches to the nursery…

gub made some paper garland using red and white baker’s twine and two different sized circular die cutters. it turned out super cute! she might make more to hang from the wall shelves.

we also hung up some more artwork, including a little grouping near the file cabinet corner: one of our vintage paint by numbers, a lisa congdon collage and a few other fun pieces. we put up a couple of little gocco screen prints by matte stephens as well.

i felt compelled to write about the amazing meal i recently ate. if you are craving a deliciously moist and tender beef short rib, swing on over to the newly renovated twenty-two storys restaurant in the atrium of the downtown hyatt regency. the short rib was served on top of these short noodles that were covered in a beef glaze. the meat fell right off the bone and was soo tasty. i would say it was the best short rib i’ve ever had!

twenty-two storys also featured a lot of great beers on tap, including a ton of local brews, as well as soups and foods integrating these beers. i was quite impressed!

the little one is coming soon…. less than three weeks to go, so we washed all of our baby clothing and bedding this week! in doing so, we were also able to see what we have and what we still need for clothing. she will be a well-dressed little newborn!

we also hung our baby bath in the back of the shower. we are running out of space and needed a spot for it.

happy nesting!!!

so… we ended up putting the crib back under the window where we had it in the very beginning. it leaves more open space in the center of the room, which we think will be better.

we also got a new hanging lamp for the corner over the file cabinet, which brightens the room quite a bit without having to use the overhead light.

we have reclaimed gub’s art supply storage cart (really a shop tool cart) and will be using it as a changing table. we had to find a smaller changing table pad than the standard size, but it seems like it will work well and we can store diapers below and supplies in the drawer.

the new arrival will be sleeping in our room for a while in this cradle that’s been in gub’s family for over 40 years. her great aunt joanie originally bought it for her cousins and gub and her brother both used it when they were babies. gub’s mom refurbished it a bit and we’ve got it all set-up and waiting….
