Remember how I painted the trim in the kitchen and it made the wallpaper especially ugly? Well Patrick helped peel off the paper in the corner I started and then plastered and sanded over it so I could paint. Here are the before and after pics.
Before:
Intermediate:
James helped.....
After:
I haven't decided yet if I want to do the rest of the kitchen that color or not...if not I may paint over this when I decide on a color, but it looks nicer for now. What do you think? There really isn't that much "wall" to paint in the kitchen, just around the two entries and about a foot worth above the cabinets. The rest is all backsplash that we were planning to replace...
On the baby front: Nothing to report. I'm due next Wednesday according to the doctor, or last Wednesday according to me....and the midwife I saw this week (doctor was out of town) who said I was measuring at 40wks...which would seem to agree with my due date. Anyway, not dilated at all, some contractions, dont' seem to be accomplishing anythign...my next appt is for the 25th, two days after the doctors due date. If I still haven't had the baby then I'm assuming she will be scheduling me to get induced the following week around the 30th. Fun, fun.
UPDATE: Here's the handle cover I made for our carseat...it totally looks like it goes with it if you don't look close huh? If you'll recall, the rubber grip had melted in the attic and I didn't want sticky stuff on my hand everytime I tried to pick up the carrier, so I made this out of the head insert that came with it since I had already bought a better one. What do you think?
