2011 reads

I'm way, way behind on end-of-year blog activities. So it goes... Here's the reading list from 2011. Sadly short but I was busy keeping a baby alive for nearly the entire year.

Mostly read:
Baby 411
I'm Too Sexy For My Volvo
What to Expect the First Year

Read:
16. Hello, My Name is Mommy
15. The Helps
14. Sizzling Sixteen
13. Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
12. The Complete Adventures of Curious George
11. Charlotte's Web
10. Baby Massage
9. Healer
8. Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
7. The Girlfriend's Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood
6. Because I Said So
5. Pregnancy Day By Day
4. Homebirth in the Hospital: Integrating Natural Childbirth With Modern Medicine
3. The Everything Pregnancy Book
2. What to Expect When You're Expecting
1. Happiest Baby on the Block

While the pregnancy/baby books were quite helpful (especially "Happiest Baby on the Block"), I really enjoyed the other books and highly recommend them all. So I guess while I'm low on quantity, I made up for it in quality. Read any good books lately?

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
