Don't worry I won't be updating you about the status of my cervix and whether I'm dilated or not, some things are just better left unsaid!
Well, I had very high intentions of painting the baby's room & making it magnifico...then 37 weeks hit & I just didn't care anymore! Working 40 hours per week is enough for me right now and like Mandrew says, "the baby won't care"!
So here is a few pics of the before's and afters....
I'm kinda proud of myself, I learned what DIY finally means and turned this dresser and changing table from the salvation army into this (I even scored the mirror for free at the little white house in Loma Linda)
I wanted a nice crib and found this Pottery Barn crib on Craig's list, SCORE! I'm proud of my self for not going too crazy on baby furniture, after all they are a just a baby and don't care about their room decor.
& Yes I realize those are pillows in my baby's crib & that is dangerous...he will not be sleeping with them ummmkkk oh & I'm thouroughly aware that my child may grow up to have a phobia of owls since his room is covered in them & they are staring down at him! Oh and for the record, I loved hootie owls long before they were so popular and it kinda bugs me now that they are so trendy!
I've been feeling like a total crazy lately! My child isn't even born yet & I already feel like an inadequate mother because... I am going to be a working mom, who can't sew and doesn't sing or craft. There I said it!
So, as I was on the verge of a meltdown, I thought about President Uchtdorf's talk at the General RS broadcast and realized it's ok! I may not be able to sew buttons on clothes, but I can totally sew your body up if you get a huge gash. That's almost as cool right ; ) Here's to the last 12 days (hopefully) of pregnancy!

LOVE the room!!!
so cute! and I don't know why you are saying you aren't crafty because you made that furniture beautiful!
Ahhh! Very cute!! We didn't even have McKay's nursery set up until after he was born. You are doing good!
First of all you're totally crafty! Your little man's room is awesome! Way to go!! Secondly, working moms rock! It's taken me a few years to figure that out and come to terms with working but I actually think doing what I do makes me a better mom! Don't ever feel guilty. It's not worth it. You are going to be an amazing mom! Yeah for 12 more days!!
Hey - some of us can't sew a button on or sew up a gash and sewing up a gash is way more useful (especially for a little boy)! The room looks great!

oh, jen. you silly goose. that is what friends are for, if you know someone who sews, you are set!! and, let me tell you, i've needed to know how to sew up a few gashes in my time in motherhood, and i couldn't. sewing with a machine doesn't hold a candle to your awesome skills!! i miss you! i hope your delivery is fantastic!! the baby's room looks phenomenal!! and i think he'll grow up to love owls like his hot mommy!!
Looks awesome Jen!! Sometimes I feel that way too! I wish i could have gone to BYU and learned to sew and decorate and all that good stuff...but then I remember I've supported our family while Wes has been in school for the last 2 years and that's pretty important too...
Um, I'd say sewing bodies up is even cooler. No one cares if you sew or craft. You are amazing! And you'll be a great mom! Good to see you on here. Way to go on the diy.
I LOVE all of it!! You are so talented!! I love the way you painted the drawers so cute! You look great too :)
