Here's an additional photo that shows the three colors. Pardon the blue tape that is still up in this photo - obviously it's a work in progress. The darker blue and green will be added to the striped wall as well. It will be a bright room.

Gary paints the nursery
Here's a picture of Gary painting the stripes on the nursery wall. There will actually be three colors when we are done.

8 months pregnant
Here's my 8 month photo. Everything is still going well with the pregnancy. I have experienced heartburn for the first time in my life, but I guess that's nothing major to complain about.

One of Our Projects
Here is a picture of one of the projects we've been working on. Gary painted the walls two different colors and we're in the process of putting up trim (this wall/corner of the room is done). We left the ceiling as it was.
We had pretty much the same thing in the old house and liked it. Since we have a softside waterbed, we had to do it before we setup the bed which we got done this past weekend. We've been sleeping in the guest room until now. It's very nice to have our bed back!!

What's New
Things are moving so quickly it appears I haven't had time to make an update in a while. So here's what's going on in a nutshell:
HOUSE - We moved the last weekend in January and we're still getting settled and doing lots of projects at the new house. There are still a lot of boxes around because we want to finish some of the projects before unpacking. For example, we're painting and putting up molding in the master bedroom and it will be easier to finish that project before placing furniture and unloading boxes. In the kitchen it will be easier to get the cabinet hardware on before loading cabinets since when we do that it will involve drilling and making sawdust mess.
OLD HOUSE - Gary has been busy painting the exterior and last weekend Roberta and I also helped. I figured with it being outside, it wasn't a problem for me to pitch in. I just stayed off the ladder and left that to them. We need to clean and do some interiror touch up painting and then we'll be ready to put it on the market and hope it sells quickly. :-)
BABY - We are 6 weeks from our due date, so they generally say that baby will arrive in +/- 2 weeks from the due date... which means we will be parents in 4-8 weeks. Yikes! Unfortunately the nursery isn't ready yet, but I figure the baby won't sleep up there right away anyway, so that isn't the end of the world. We have managed to do quite a bit of shopping and we finished our childbirth preparation classes. I also registered at both Target and Babies R Us. Those were 3 hour and 2 hours excursions, respectively. There's so many things to look at and choose! It was fun though.
During all our projects, we managed to squeeze in a little celebration for our anniversary. We went out to dinner at a nice steakhouse in Frisco and it was quite good. We also have tickets to the ballet this coming Saturday night. I figure we do have to take advantage of being sans child while that's still the case. :-)
I think that hits the highlights.
