There isn't a huge amount that has been completed, but I did manage to finish one wall. At this point, that seems like a HUGE accomplishment. Getting anything done this week has been kind of a joke. Between Ella and I both being sick, tons of nursery-related errands being run and housework piling up, nothing productive has really taken place around our house since Monday afternoon! But back to my point. This is my changing station. I know I've already explained that this once was a dresser in our craft/play room. I bought it at a consignment shop for $50. It was an old hotel fixture and was in great shape and very sturdy. I refinished it right after I bought it, but it has gotten pretty banged up over the last year or so. Josh helped me sand it over the weekend and we gave it a fresh ...

My plan was to share lots of nursery photos today - we've been working hard in there since Friday night. This morning, my plan got a little derailed. This is what I've been dealing with most of the day... She got sick mid morning and has felt pretty terrible most of the day.

I didn't get many projects finished today, but I did get plenty of things started! Hopefully by mid week, I'll have a few more things to share. For now, I'll ...

I had a great plan for my weekend. I was going to work hard in Sophie's room all day on Saturday and after church on Sunday and be greatly impressed with my progress. Unfortunately, I was assaulted with a lovely stomach virus part of the way through Saturday and got seriously derailed. I spent Saturday night and Sunday morning running from the bed to the bathroom, the rest of Sunday asleep and today being so weak from not eating for 48 hours that I basically laid on the couch all day. The good news is, that I got a lot of shopping done on Friday afternoon, a good bit of cleaning done in her room on Saturday morning (thank you to SD and my parents for moving furniture for me!) and I felt well enough this afternoon to finish getting things out of the room that didn't belong. Most of the ...
