georgie's bedroom

so the other night george falling asleep in his playroom, it seems was not a fluke. the past few nights i've nursed him in my room, then layed him down in the playroom on top of a cushy sleeping bag and he's fallen asleep on his own within ten minutes. no swaddling (this boy must have set record for the oldest swaddled-at-night baby), no screaming....just a milky kiss and a good night, and i don't hear from him again until 8 in the morning, when he wanders into the bedroom saying "Mah? Mah?" or today blake went in to his room and he was just waking up and he sat up and pointed to his sleepy spot and said "night-night"

its weird. blake and i check on him a few times during the night--we've never had a baby out of the bed this soon! and while part of me is a little sad since i know this will be our last baby, it also feels good to have it happen so naturally. through all three kids i've had YEARS of night nursing and snuggling...and toddler kicks to the face, to feel satisfied in the face of this change.

today we picked up a mattress that daena and oliver donated to us and we set it up so now the playroom is officially a bedroom, and it was a pretty sweet moment. everyone brought in something to make it homey, like a dolly and a stuffed tiger, then georgie pretended to be sleeping. it was hilarious. i love my little boy!








*********thank you for the mattress D and O, its perfect!

sweet! our suite!! it's compleeeeete!

glue-down cork tile: NEVER again. floating cork is SO much better...but on a budget, it was this or nothing. here is B, pulling up the carpet tacks, getting ready to lay 'em down.

mayan took these! go, b, go!

uh-oh, somebody is getting high on the adhesive fumes....

her, too!
(just kidding, it was a low-odor water-based cork adhesive, very mellow)

aw, who could resist those baby blues??

okay, just after this, blake suffered a major back-injury moving a piece of furniture--it sucked! it took a loooong time to finish the project, mostly it got done by him laying one row at a time, everyday after work. poor B! but it finally healed enough for him to bust out the final area last weekend. (thanks to Rich and Breana and Rich's mom for coming over and moving our bed for us!!) today we did most of the final touches.....

huh? who's room is this?

it's the newly done master bedroom! so sexy!
(i love these lamps, we got them at target years ago--they shed the coolest light on the walls. i decided to mount them, so they don't take up bedtable space)

this area is waiting for some photography, a rug, and my favorite swivel rocker...why do we have 2 tv's you ask? well our dumb no-name big screen doesn't communicate with the comcast universal remote, so we watch movies on the wide-screen and tv on the regular tv. tv-heads have to do what tv-heads have to do, you know?

AH!! devil kitty!! no, it's just Humper....note the new curtains covering our badly trimmed balcony doors. HUGE improvement, i tell you.

this room is soooooooo us. i'm beyond excited.

hey, haven't done one of these in a while...35 weeks here (a few days ago)...i look stoned in this picture...HA! i wish! but the "nester" in me does make me want to go in there and clean the fingerprints off of that mirror RIGHT NOW. i'm gonna.

phew, now we can relax...right?
