Overcooked...

My due date has now come and gone...and yes, I am still pregnant. Thankfully, I am feeling good and grateful to have some extra time to prepare and enjoy life with just our two girls. I am a bit nervous for the delivery...I guess just hoping that it will be a little bit shorter and easier then the my previous two (18 hours and 8 hours). Also, I am so excited to meet our little baby BOY....I hope he looks just like his dad--and a double bonus if he has his dad's temperament (his family said they couldn't get him to stop giggling). (Savannah's given us a "run for our money"---and I'll be honest, she's a mini-Marianne...a bit mischievous and determined). =)

So...talk about NESTING. I think Rick is so happy to have our baby here, so his "honey-do" list from his "pregnant and nesting wife" will dissolve. We finally finished the girl's room.
The hardest part was sanding and painting all of the furniture white. My friend Kim helped a lot with painting the walls and giving me decorating tips.


I love their closet...at least their is a place for things (I'm not saying the things always get there)!



The baby's room is almost done (we are still hanging things up on the wall). The bedding I chose is a "construction theme" with tractors...just perfect with his "Schlofman Tractor" family history (thanks for the logo-Dad).

Rick put up the chair rail and made the frame around the "Schlofman Tractor" logo. He did great for his first time...he's becoming quite the "handy-man". This is one of those added bonus' I didn't know about when I married him!
Now it's just a waiting game...I go to the doctor next on Monday. I don't think she'll let me go much over a week before inducing me. Exciting times!

Oh! I love the pictures!! I can't believe I haven't seen EITHER room since they've gotten done! Hmmm... I may have to drop by! ;)

I just have to say again that I am SO excited for your little boy to arrive!! I can't WAIT to take pictures of him... I hope you'll trust me to take some when he's still TINY! (They grow SO fast!!)

It's going to be so fun to see a boy version of you & Rick! Your girls are both darling & I'm sure he will be, too!!!

Please call me if you ever need ANYTHING!!!

Wow, those rooms are so cute. I just never had that desire for some reason. The walls in my boys room were painted blue before we moved in...that is it for decoration at my house.
