Making progress!

It's fun to be so busy! The nursery furniture is being delivered on Saturday and between now and then, Porch and I are busy working to get everything put away in its new home.

I bought some Murphy's oil today and my after work workout tomorrow will include deep cleaning the floor in the nursery so that we can lay down the new carpet. I also need to hunt in the basement for a can of the paint used in the apartment (all of our walls are the same color) to touch up the place where the headboard of the guest bed had been rubbing against the wall. If I can't find the paint, we may have to investigate the idea of using a wallpaper border as camouflage.

When it's all said and done, I'm excited to figure out the best placement for the crib and dresser. And for the delivery of the furniture! When I woke up at 1am to pee this morning, it was so odd to look into that room and see it empty. It's weird in the day too, but something about knowing that soon we'll be spending much more time in that room in the middle of the night is exciting and terrifying.

We (ok, probably just me) are pumped to figure out what we want the nursery to look like. We ordered timeless pieces and I think we both agree that building around them with some eclectic pieces and decor will be fun. Nothing too cutesy. Bleh. And bah humbug.

Porch bottled his latest beer tonight. I am blown away by his love for the science and process of brewing. He is so patient. Opposites attract ;) I also admire his reflection as he thinks about what he'd like to learn more about.

I got home from class around 8:40 tonight and spent my time in the nursery figuring out what to do with that Ikea dresser. Originally, we thought we'd just toss it... it's been a great 5 years, thanks for your services... peace out. But we stopped at the Crafty Beaver this weekend and grabbed some brackets and Porch busted out the power tools and what do you know... it's a whole new dresser! No more leaning! So I found a new home for it in the closet where it can continue to hold our extra bedding and whatnot. There's still some life left in 'er. We'll keep it.

And now... its time for bed. Hope you all had a fabulous Monday!

Xoxo
Mrs. Porch

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures!  I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut.  I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel.  Check out the website here  and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way!  Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite.  So I'm not going to.  But you can!  :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive!  I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives.  And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...

I suppose this kid's gonna need somewhere to sleep...

As an avid blog stalker reader, I have been following several stories of other families who have struggled with infertility and am actually just days separated from Liz & her hubby at Wishing on a Snowflak e who adopted embryos and actually had her transfer the same week I did and we both got positive results. I read her blog today and saw the amazing nursery they're putting together for their daughter and I realized something kind of important... Holy shit. This kid is going to need somewhere to sleep.   And we're already almost 14 weeks deep. I suspect it's much like the wedding.  I was never really the girl who dreamed about her wedding day in great detail.  I was too busy hoping to find the right person, the details didn't matter.  I feel like I've been so busy wishing, hoping, praying, stabbing myself with needles, etc to give this some real deep thought.  Remember when we moved in to our apartment and Porch was all like " We could raise some...
