Okay – Kristy and I are about to begin week 36, which means it is almost GO time. Although Kristy has nested off and on for the past couple weeks, my nesting took the form of refurbishing the family heirloom cradle. I wish I would have taken before pictures, but oh well. The cradle was in need of some TLC, so I decided to take it on.
I had to sand down the paint and in doing so noticed at least two different colors it had been before (an almond shade and a salmon pink color). We decided that to keep the tradition going in the family, we should paint it something that will be universal, so white it is! I used almost an entire tube of wood filler due to the numerous nail and tack holes throughout the years.
I also decided to replace some of the hardware since the whole cradle is being upgraded – so new screws and cool little plastic caps to go over them so it blends in with the white of the wood. And also new wheels. These proved hard to find, but a great hardware store in Eugene, Jerry’s, had what I was looking for…
Since we got the camera out to take the cradle’s photo, we decided to get some pictures of Kristy in too, since a few people have requested pictures of her and the belly! The other pictures include the wall stickers that go with the room theme, so we took some pictures of those too. Kristy like the branch that looks like it is holding the diaper bag! Enjoy! Only 31 more days! 1 month!
