Hibernating, but in a really good way.

And now I am feeling writer's remorse. Or rather, non-writer's remorse.

I/We have been silly busy the last few weeks, so much so that I really did not think I had anything important to post. But then I thought to myself that what I think and ultimately write is important, if nothing else, at least important to me. And/or maybe it had a little to do with smart cookie Mi'Chelle and her timely reminder urging herself to slow down the computer frenzy and enjoy the moments with Brie. If I haven't told you lately, dear sweet Meesh, you are a genius.

So, enough mindless chatter. Here's the rundown:

• Emma accompanied me to my monthly OB check. We heard the heartbeat. Hooray!
• I'm officially out of the first trimester and NO more sickies. Double Hooray!
• Spring Break happened last week-enough said :)
• finished up a few crafty projects that I can't share, just yet
• finally returned to work-ugh, blech (I'm beginning to wonder if its really worth it anymore)
• scoring on Emma's new bedding for her coming-soon twin bed
• If I could actually draw nicely, I would love to post a pic of the headboard Papa is making for said twin bed. Got the fabulous idea from HGTV's Room by Room. So instead, I'll just opt to scan a picture. thankyouverymuch! The only real difference is that Emma's headboard will be a) smaller, b) painted crisp white, c) have three inset panels featuring pressed tin like the ones you see on the ceilings in old homes. Found a place off of the back cover of Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion mag a few months back and found out that they are local. Imagine that! Yay for free shipping. And for a very, very handy handyman Dad. Picture courtesy of Broyhill, since the one at HGTV wouldn't let me save it. Grrr. But you get the general idea!

Here's the bedding that I really, really scored on big time @ PBK. It's now on clearance *sniff*, but it was what I saw, fell in LOVE with in the fall, and had to have.  It goes perfectly with the square shaped tin panels on her bed, so now you know why I cried and cried when it was supposedly discontinued online. Anyone who knows my personality quirk(s) knows that it has to match. Or it will drive me completely insane.

And here's a closeup shot of the sheets. That I had to have. (naturally, of course!)

Whew! This might be the longest and prettiest post I have written in a really long time.

So now you know what I have been up to.

And I'll leave you with one more parting shot. *Hint* it's a HUGE part of E's cj. Hee hee!

Oh, man, I am uber-jealous. SEriously. That bedding is so gorgeous. I had to cheap out and buy a non PB quilt. And the headboard will be divine. You have such a good eye. I'm seriously tempted to buy those sheets now.

Congratties on hearting a heartbeat.
