The requested baby-room photos...





Here you go, Rach! (and anyone else who is interested?) They're not great photos, but they're not too bad. As you can see we've painted the walls green ("pea case") and yellow ("lemon delicious") which we think is fun and we're slowly getting all sorted for the imminent (I hope!) arrival of the little person.

The cute little black and green prints on the bookshelf are from Jane, I think she made them herself, clever clogs... The pram and bassinet are courtesy of the very generous Sarah, Jonathan and Finn, the bouncer thing is from the lovely Matt, Natalie and girls and you can see my bag all packed in the middle of the room there!

The big 25-square shelf thing is not the one from our lounge room, we returned to ikea and Jon managed to find a display one for $120 cheaper. He was delighted and I tried not to cringe too much while everyone else stood at the ikea counter with their neatly packed flat boxes and Jon cheerfully wheeled the fully-assembled flipping enormous book case across the store and then had to dismantle it just next to the registers so that we could get it into the car to take home! It was the happiest I've ever seen him after a shopping trip so I was pleased that I didn't insist on us paying full price for a properly packaged new one. We're going to get 25 little drawers to fit in each of the squares so it will look heaps better when we've finished with it. As you can see, it currently houses the old drawers from the desk we've chucked out coz we haven't had a chance to actually sort through them yet. Jon is also using it as his clothes storage space because we had to move his amps into the built-in wardrobe.

I've been up since 5am again and I think I'll go back to bed for a bit now. The lovely Stef is coming over to hang out for a bit this afternoon and I would really like to get that bloody marking out of the way before she gets here!!! Surely today is the day!?

Oh, and as yet, Kaye's prophesy shows no signs of coming true, but it's only 9:13am!
