it's been a while...

So it's been a while since I updated. I will be 32 weeks this week and go back to the dr. tomorrow. This weekend we have been SO busy! We had our first shower with our family and some close friends given by Lee's sister and two brothers Saturday night. It was SO much fun and we got lots of great stuff!! It really makes things even more real when we were opening presents and later finding their new place in our house. It's hard to believe we will be parents soon and we'll have a new little family member living in our house...that we will be solely responsible for~kinda scary!!

Here are some pics from the shower...

We also finished the baby's dresser!! A few months ago, Lee's parents were cleaning out their basement and came across one of Lee's brother's old baby dressers. It was in pretty bad shape (cosmetically) and they were going to donate it to a thrift store. I immediately saw its potential and begged to have it so I could refinish it. I love refinishing furniture. There's something about taking something old and beat up that nobody wants and turning it into something wonderful.

Here are a few "befores"...

And some "durings"...

AND drum roll please...

Ta-Da! All finished and looking brand new! Needless to say I am very pleased and Lee was so good to help me sand it, put the drawer tracks in, and lift and move it whenever I needed. Thanks to my mom for the knobs!
