Who will she look like??

This is our first peek at her face and she has my nose and cheeks! We couldn't get a good picture of her eyes; apparently, they just don't show up very well. Can't wait to meet her in about 10 more weeks.

I've finished quite a few projects last year for gift giving, but never took the time to post them. Here they are...

Baby Room's first piece!

A few months ago, I was in the SF MOMA store with a couple of friends. I fell in love with a very simple version of a Cuckoo Clock, a mere silhouette of one. It retails for a WHOPPING $368.
Of course I had to show Tim. I thought it'd be great for the baby room, but at $368 may be not... So instead of buying it, he MADE one!! We used a different silhouette for ours. We wanted it to go with our theme for the room better. So, we found another cuckoo clock on the internet as a template.

Check out the final results!! And it was his FIRST TIME clocking making :)

Sherbu the Chameleon

We gave Sherbu a bath for the first time the other day. We started out with a fat cat and ended up with a LARGE Rat...

He can double as a baby for practice too!

Dinning room redo

While visiting New Orleans earlier this year, we had brunch at a French bistro called Croissant D'or Patisserie. We fell in love with the interior and were inspired to translate the decor to our dinning room.

Also, after building a lovely marble topped pantry cabinet, with the colors inspired by Croissant D'or Patisserie, the design fell into its own.

et viola! C'est fini...

Superheros

Villains be afraid. Be very afraid! We are here to save the world, and not just on Halloween.

Ella or Maxx???

For the first time today, we saw our baby as more than just a "blob." Seeing it in a more human shape is making it real. I finally feel like I'm actually pregnant. It's amazing how it's transformed from just less than two months ago. Can't wait to see more of it. I'm feeling a little verklempt!! Tim's immediate reaction was that he wanted to hug the little bugger.

This clip is fairly short, but try to pause it right when it starts. You can see the face. HAPPY HALLOWEEN...
