7 Month Check-Up

Two months away and Daniela had a 3-D ultrasound. The baby has a bit of hair on top of her head.

Looks like the baby got a little grumpy from all the pressing of the ultrasound machine on Daniela's tummy.

...and on to the kitchen!

I know you must be thinking I'm crazy. To start another project like this so close to the baby's due date. This time I had help. My brother came in from New Jersey during the holiday season to assist me. For legal reasons we're not showing his face.

Down came the wallpaper that seemed to be held onto the wall by an entire roll of tape. This is going to be a minor facelift and will be done in two phases. First the main room that is shown here and then the pantry area.

With a house this old I sure did use a lot of caulk. The main room is 90% finished but I don't want to post those pictures quite yet. I'll give it another week or two.

Baby Room

At long last I finished the baby's room. This room has been offline for about 3 years. I did all the cutting of materials in this room while completing the other rooms. Just a few touch-ups left but it's baby ready!

Since I could not find a door that matched the original doors throughout the house I made my own.

The bassinet went together quickly as did the crib. The rocking chair was the same one I was rocked in when I was a baby.

Changing table and diapers. I'm going to need a lot of those.

Friends from Kansas, Brent and Molly Miller, were nice enough to send us the bedding set, which was handmade by a Czech woman Molly met.

All we need now is the baby....10 weeks to go.
