New Nursery!

This was the 4th weekend we've had Woody and Sheila working on the nursery. It was so close to being complete, but we had a minor fan glitch. No worries though, we just need to do a quick swap at Home Depot. The room looks amazing...The infamous "Seuss Stripes".Here is Sheila hard at work too! Here are some pieces of the bedding. Some of it is still with Donna since she's working on the baby's curtains. Like I said, things are so close to being done. Just a few decorative things to put on the walls. I love it!

Seabrook Half Marathon/ Nursery Update

This weekend was very cold, but Doug and I were up extra early on Saturday morning for his 1/2 Marathon Run in Seabrook. I took the video below during his first half. He was smoking!

Doug was doing great with his pace...till mile 10 when he ran into a rock which twisted his knee up. He continued running on it for 1.5 miles, then realized that was enough jarring. He still finished the race, which made me VERY proud of him. Woody and Shiela were back again this weekend to work on the baby's room. The wainscoating was painted and we purchased the paint for the Seuss-stripes that will be going up too. Things are moving along and looking beautiful!

Lent/ Starting the Nursery

Doug is doing a very brave thing and giving up all beef/pork products for Lent. He's also giving up CHEESE!! I'm giving up gossip sites on the internet: people.com and perezhilton.com. They're part of my usual daily web-site browsing, so it'll hopefully allow me to use my time more productively.

Doug and I ate at Fogo de Chão prior to Ash Wednesday. We filled up on plenty of meats, cheeses, and veggies. It was a late celebration of our (Engagement/Dating) Anniversary too. We pretty much ate ourselves into a Meat Coma....we'll return right after Easter I imagine. :P
Well we have started on the nursery by first picking up the furniture--gotta start somewhere, right? My dad brought the boxes over on Thursday and Doug and I spent Saturday just opening them up. We still need to stack the hutch/dresses and put the crib together. Here's what we're looking at so far: Yes, we're keeping a surfboard (my Jamaica-colored Fry in the corner) in his room. Woody will be coming by soon to install the baseboard molding and painting some Dr. Seuss stripes.
Don't worry, none of these ladies is me. Ha. I started aqua classes this past week for the first time (since being pregnant). For the first time I felt like I didn't have a belly. It was nice to be reminded that I still have ab muscles.
