Labor of Love

Harper's room is almost done! We realize it is a little early but we wanted to tackle it before my spring coursework got too heavy. Who knew how much effort could go into the room of an unborn child. Also, who knew that I would suddenly become obsessed with everything pink (literally, it calls to me like a gravitational beacon - it's frightening!). It's funny too because when we weren't going to find out the baby's sex, we also weren't going to do the "nursery thing" i.e. we figured we would put up the necessities and call it a day. And then, I become OBSESSED. Thank goodness for IKEA where we picked up most of the furniture and for my other current obsession Amazon.com. We still have to do some blackout curtains (it's a bright, hot room when the 120 degree season comes to LV) and we want to put Harper's name in wooden blocks over the window (perhaps a precursor to her name in lights?). Poor, poor kid, I already have so many aspirations for her and she is just reaching towards 6 1/2 months in the womb. I have a feeling her current kicking/punching frenzy is Morse code for "Take it Easy Mom!"

There are few pics here and about a zillion others on FB.
