What a Month!

Well, I'm finally home again after almost three weeks in Kentucky with family.  It's been an adventurous time, complete with 3 baby showers and a tremendous amount of babygirl loot.  We decided to begin decorating the nursery today, and since the furniture has not arrived yet we went to Lowe's and picked some paint colors.  Ryan spent the evening painting...



...and painting some more!



We're going to sleep on it for now and see if we still like the colors in the morning, but I think we're on the right track. The 1960's metal blinds, though, definitely need to go.

Ryan and Katie did some shopping yesterday and found a HOT DEAL at our local vintage store, and now our front living room actually has furniture in it. HooraY!



I want to say thank you to everyone who made an effort over the holidays to host and attend our baby showers. Baby girl now has a complete wardrobe up til age 2. Let's just hope those ultrasounds were accurate, because otherwise our baby boy will be wearing a lot of pink.  Here is a random sampling of some of her loot: 

We found these guys in rural Kentucky at the same mall where Ryan found a foot-wide bling Obama necklace.

This little outfit is from Ryan's Auntie, who has a children's clothing business (www.mulberrystreetinc.com).  Notice the frog bum on the back.

Here's a onesie that Katie personalized for us.  And yes, it's personalized on the butt.  Soooo cute.

These two outfits are from our cousin Karen in Chicago.  Because everyone needs a onesie of a milk carton riding a cow AND a baby kimono.
