2012 reads

Slightly behind on the 2012 wrap-up this year but doing way better than last year apparently.  Go me.  Anyway, here's the reading list.

Read some of:

  • I know this much is true
  • And Baby Makes Three
  • Hans Anderson's Fairy Tales
  • Baby 411
And read all of:

9. About a Boy
8. The Paris Wife
7. Pregnancy Day by Day
6. Run Like a Mother
5. The Love List
4. Bossypants
3. Mockingjay
2. Catching Fire
1. The Hunger Games

Sad, sad list.  Shortest one ever.  But we did sell a house, buy a house, birth a baby, and keep not one but two kids alive for half the year.  Cutting myself some slack.  Really enjoyed what I read, though.  Loved the Hunger Games series.  Bossypants was funny.  Run Like a Mother, inspiring and motivational.  And really, really enjoyed The Paris Wife.  Made me want to read Hemingway to that may be on the list this year along with 50 Shades of Grey.  We're on vacation later this month so hopefully I'll get a little reading in then.  Woohoo!  Any book suggestions are welcome!

If it makes you feel better I read even less, and I have no kiddos! Hoping you are saving all those baby books, I may need to borrow some when I am preggars one day ;)

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...
