Happy Friday! Recently, I tackled another craft project for Baby Kopp’s room (Richard’s snarky reaction: “What else are you making NOW?”). I can’t help it…I keep finding cute ideas for nurseries that I can’t resist. Hopefully, Its room doesn’t end up looking too busy and overstuffed. Anyway, I decided to make bunting garland to hang… Continue Reading
I LOVE to read. Although, I confess, I haven’t gotten much reading done lately. It’s hard to read a good novel when your guilty conscience keeps telling you that you should be reading Your Baby’s First Year and The Everything Breastfeeding Book instead. I guess my love for reading is limited. I really only enjoy… Continue Reading
Our work on the nursery continues and I thought I’d share another quick peek of Baby Kopp’s nest. We finally cleared out the guest bedroom furniture and accessories, and now it really does look like a nursery instead of a storage closet. I’m beginning to feel like we might actually be ahead of the game… Continue Reading
Less than three months to my due date! It feels like time is going by too fast, but at the same time, not fast enough. As the days fly by, we’re checking things off our baby to-do list and continuing our work on the nursery. Last week, I decided to refashion a simple white lamp… Continue Reading
This past weekend, Richard and I finally ventured to Babies “R” Us to create our baby registry. We went with about as much enthusiasm as two people being sent to prison. But we couldn’t put it off any longer, since my sisters are itching to get the baby shower invites in the mail. Now, I… Continue Reading
As I mentioned in my last posting, Richard and I have begun preparing Baby Kopp’s room. Not that it looks like much yet. It’s packed with stuff, since we have both our guest bedroom furniture and our new nursery items crammed in there together. It looks more like a locker from Storage Wars than a… Continue Reading
Happy Friday! I can’t believe March is almost over; this month is really flying by. We’ve finally begun to really make some preparations for Baby Kopp. We purchased a crib and a mattress, as well as a storage bench for baby toys. Since Richard doesn’t like to have unfinished projects (unlike me…I prefer the philosophy… Continue Reading
When I first started this blog with introductions, I wrote that I would introduce you to more of my friends and family along the way. Well, it’s time for me to introduce Lucy, my mother-in-law. Since Lucy is Irish and tomorrow is St. Patty’s Day, I figure now’s the perfect time to write about her.… Continue Reading
Well, we won’t be able to keep calling it Baby Kopp forever, even though I’ve gotten rather used to it. And since I’m super indecisive and picky, Richard and I really need to get to work narrowing down our list of name possibilities. The next four months are going to go by fast and I… Continue Reading
Another milestone out of the way – I had my first ultrasound on Monday night. I promise not to go on and on about how cute it is and how much it looks like Richard, because – let’s be honest – all ultrasound pictures look basically the same. You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.… Continue Reading
