back up further: getting the baby's room ready, june 2007

so we were thrilled when jack and kelli said they would drive over from portland to help us get the baby room ready. you see, a pregnant gal at this point is fairly useless in all areas of house projects. i can't really paint (though i did do some doors outside where i didn't have to breathe into much toxicity), i can't really lift heavy things (though i sometimes like to try and then jeff has to get huffy with me)and i get hot and flustered extremely easily (no thoughs, this is a given). so jeff and kelli and jack scraped, taped and painted while i washed baby k's clothes in special, spendy, organic and baby safe detergent and continued to fold and organize them diligently. jeff says this baby is already a clothes horse and she hasn't even been born! see, i have this clothes karma...i don't spend much money on them, but they always come my way. come my way in huge, bountiful, quality/funk/syl-ie amounts. and that's just what happened when a very generous and wealthy mama from the school gave me seven garbage bags of newborn girls stuff to go through and have. so most of it seemed unworn and it was all deliciously cute. so i took a ton of stuff and then had the prego shop open for all my pregnant lady friends. so much fun to share the wealth and be able to dress baby k like the fabulous, hipthang that i know she is (though we have yet to meet face to face).

so here are some photos of us getting lil baby k's room ready....
