Project Complete

Ah. It's so nice to know what you're going to name your baby before they're born. It certainly makes it easier to get ahead on projects. Look what I just finished:Hazel's name letters weren't done until two months after she was born.

Looking at these, I feel relieved. I wasn't sure how to take a craft and make it masculine, but I definitely didn't want Jack to have girly letters. I think it turned out well. Phew.

He and Hazel will be sharing a room. It's slowly metamorphosing into a room for a girl and a boy to share. When we moved Hazel to a big girl bed, she got a green polka dot comforter. Dots are girly, but green is good for all. We're getting there. I think it's just going to have to be okay that there are pink things in there, as well as blue. Here's Jack's small segment of the room:He's going to be in a bassinet in mine and Todd's room for the first little while. By little while, I hope I mean just a few weeks. I do not sleep well sharing a room with a wee one. We"ll have to take it a day at a time, though, and see how all four of us adjust.

Meanwhile, I'm dilated to a two, but hoping to make it til January before Jack's born. We'd like to keep him spaced a little bit from Christmas. So, watch, he'll be born on Christmas Day, right? We'll see.

LOVE the letters. Did you make the quilt too, you and your mad skillz?

And as far as waiting until January to meet Mr. Jack, be careful what you wish for... He may just decide he's really comfortable in there and make you crazy. (wink)

that is so cute! We're lucky our kids have names, let alone cool projects. I LOVE it. Good job.

I love how his name turned out and I love his bedding. Don't worry Miles has a lot of pink in his room that he shares with Macey and he's still a tough baby. :)
