The Last Checklist

We're down to 3 full days until Baby "B" arrives, so I've been working pretty hard on my final checklist during the last week or two. Here are some of the things I've been up to.

1) I planted some flowers in our yard. It needed some color. Good thing Cassie came to help out because I forget I don't have that much energy anymore.

2) I got some final painting done in the house where I've been meaning to finish off.

3) I got Rex's haircut (see older post) and mine, too. I needed a good trim on my short do.

4) I got a pedicure....oh yeah baby! I had lady go all out with something extra fun. (Please don't stare too closely at my feet. I know they aren't the most beautiful things.)

5) I added some final touches to the nursery. The big wall got a shelf and a bigger frame. The shelf I got 50% off and unfinished. I slapped on some white paint, added knobs, and picked out a few items to go on it. The "B" is probably for the little guy's name, but we'll see. We have 3 "B" names we like and if don't pick one of them then it'll stand for "baby." The frame I also got 50% off and I painted it to match the room.
I sewed a little birdie pillow to match the theme. The room that the nursery is has a window with a rosebush that grows up the side of the house. As you look out the window, the leaves from outside frame it and little birds often come and sit on the branches. It's really pretty. Hence the bird/nature theme.
One more little frame I painted. I can't wait to take pictures of the little guy and fill up the frames.

I finished off the bumper pads.

Well, I won't bore you with the rest of the list. Nothing too exciting, but it's all done. The next three days are for deep cleaning. I don't love doing it, but it sure feel great when it's all done.

I also had my last lesson with these sweet girls. Now that I'll have two little men, teaching piano will be a little too tricky. I am totally going to miss these ladies (as will Rex), but they have promised to visit a lot. They spoiled me with flowers and chocolates for our last lesson! They are so great and I have really loved teaching them.
