Big Girl Beds

Sunday night we put a second big-girl-bed in the girls' room.  Chloe has been sleeping in hers for about two weeks and has no problems transitioning from her toddler bed.


Kevin painted these frames and I think they look great! They were originally just plain wood, but have been drastically improved with (a few) coats of paint!



She loves it! :)


This is the bed we put in on Sunday evening - and April was excited!! We've put the headboard at the foot of her bed, as a way to create another "wall" and you can see the bed-rail for the side.  I think it seems like a bigger transition because she moved straight from a crib to this twin bed - but it's working out great!

Daddy tucking her in!

How long will she stay this way? Might be turned around by morning! :)



*I'm working on quilts for these beds....that's a post for another day :)

It looks great! Connor moves around a lot in his twin sized bed, but I'm not worried so much about him falling out since it's bigger - one benefit of a bigger bed. :) Have fun April and Chloe! I wonder when you'll come in and find them in the same bed...:)

Quilts! Alison - you're so ambitious. :) I'm going to have to get you to teach me how. (You know, someday in our free time... ;))

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
