Meanwhile, I'm trying to get everything in place. I just finished up the last of my major grading last week and I've got lovely colleagues helping finish my exams for me. I've cooked up and frozen a few meals (although I probably should do more!) for us to defrost when I'm so tired I can't see straight. We've been working like mad people to get the room and the house ready: My mom and sister have come over numerous times to help clean and re-organize, and the baby's room now looks ready, don't you think?:
The organized closet is all my mom and sister M

Mom and M also re-arranged the clothing drawers.
AND, T finally got the opportunity to get the dining room painted--doesn't it look awesome? As he said, it's Big Kids. It looks like a totally different place. I also love the Pack-n-Play in the middle of things. We picked the color partly because we loved it and partly because we could not pass up the name: LaFonda Green. Not kidding. How can you not paint your dining room LaFonda Green?

Before
After (we haven't put the art back up yet)
So that's the latest wrap-up with us. Hopefully we'll have some news soon!
T also rearranged our bedroom--all he did was angle the bed, and it changes the whole room: We've unblocked the window and just given this whole new dimension of space. Obviously Penny likes it.
I also realized I better get you one more picture of me, so it's not great, but here I am, right before baby J comes. My dear friend D, a great photographer, took some genuine lovely pregnancy shots (no, I did not go au naturel), but I don't have them yet, so this will have to do:
He just has to drop a leeetle more.
