Babymoon

We had a lovely babymoon in Pacific Grove.  It was a good time to relax, even though I wasn't feeling great, and practice using our new camera.  

Here are some of the pictures we took....

Where we stayed...


Our room at the Bed and Breakfast.

Quite small, but cute touches.

A little present for Wes.


Walking at the beach nearby..


Flowers...


Beaches...


Tide pools...

Here I am, feeling huge and done.

iPhone Photo Dump - March

Well, I've made the technology jump and bought an iPhone.  Hopefully having a good camera on my phone will let me take lots of pics of the baby.  

Here are my first iphone photos...

The Transformation

This post has been a long time coming, but well worth the wait!

Wes and I, well mostly Wes, undertook the transformation of our second bedroom from a guest room/office into a guest room/nursery. Yes...still a guest room, so people can still visit. You may wonder how that would work...no you don't have to sleep with and wake up to change/feed the baby. Baby will be in our room :).

But note...my little step by step picture series makes this look easy...but Wes did some SERIOUS work here. I am very grateful. And we are both relieved that after many evenings/weekends of Wes being a weekend warrior, now we can relax a bit more.

Anyway, here are the chronicles of the transformation!

Before pic! Only one angle...this is just leaving out the desk opposing the bed.

Step 1 - Rip up the gray carpet.


Step 2 - Paint!


Step 3 - Put in new laminate floors. The people who lived here before us did these throughout the duplex, but not in the two bedrooms. So Wes basically finished the job. But this only shows his work in the second bedroom.


Step 4 - This was actually many steps...new ceiling fan, new plugs, baseboards, etc....And finally moving back in and decorating. Here is Wes and his finished product!


Now....here's the virtual tour. Imagine you are standing in the doorway, turning clockwise...here we go!


And now we wait!

Watch for Wes' next adventure of crib assembly and sidecar-ing it to our bed :)
