Eeek! Toady while Jason (luckily) was changing a diaper, the cabinet that we have over the changing pad that holds the diapers PULLED AWAY FROM THE WALL AND FELL. Jason caught the side that was over Leroy. I stared at this happening and was totally frozen for a few moments afterward. That really could have gone really badly. I'd like to think that if I had been changing the diaper I would have reacted and caught the thing too-superhuman mom strength and whatnot, but I just have to say that I'm glad that it wasn't me having to do it. I don't know what I would have done. I was a little freaked out after that happened. And Leroy didn't notice a thing, he continued happily smiling and sucking on his toes throughout...didnt even flinch.
Needless to say, this cabinet has NOT been re-hung and will not be going up back on the wall.

ok then
So, at the urging of my very good friend Dawn Marie I will be writing to update all on things I'm doing to get ready for the baby (I'm pregnant, it's not just a baby I'm going to steal from someone) that will be arriving at the end of February, as well as other goings-on, but since it is getting into baby crunch time, it will probably be mostly that stuff for the time being...
so, that said, I'm decorating a baby room! I know, super exciting and original. But, in an attempt to be crafty, and since I have an awesome husband (Jason from now on, referring to him as "husband" kind of makes me feel old, and even though I kind of am, I'm going to just go ahead and delay that) that can build things (not that this is really a good example of the extent of his expertise), I have decided to get crafty in there. So, at first I saw this nursury, which is of course after I became super obsessed with looking at all of the nursury tours--it's like crack! Also, obsessed with: the ridiculous awesomeness of the rocking chair in that room, I would freak out if I owned that, sadly, it's like $1,000, so no awesome rocking chair for me...not that one anyway.
But I was going to do it with felt cutouts of birds instead of fish--this bird. But then Jason (see so much better and younger!) was worried that gluing all of those birds to the wall might actually wreck the wall, which I can kind of see, so then I saw this one and decided that I would kind of marry the two together, so I had Jason build me some wooden frames to stretch fabric over (also different prints, but in shades of yellow & orange) and I'm going to sew the birds onto those, but with yarn, so that you can still kind of see it, so I'm hoping it will turn out like it looks in my head, because it looks super cute in my head. So we'll see.
Jason built the frames a couple of days ago and I finished buying the fabric last night and most of the birds cut out, so I cut out all of the fabric to the right sizes last night. I was going to attach the fabric to the frames myself, but apparently it will work better to use the neumatic (sp?) stapler rather than just the regular staple gun, which Jason is also going to do. Kind of a bummer because I hate making plans to do productive things and then not get them done because it makes me feel like a totally lame and not productive person, so even though I was just planning on attaching the fabric to the frames tonight--nothing more, I didn't even do that. I totally suck at life. Anywhoodle, then I'm going to hand those on the wall & plot out where I'm going to attache the birds when they're on the wall so that they flow nicely and whatnot.
So that's where I am with that.
