Old

Today is my birthday.  I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm 44.  I realized yesterday that I am now no longer in my early 40s but have moved into my mid 40s.  Yikes.  That seems SO old!

Anyway, Paul's parents babysat last night so we could go to dinner.  We went to Wild Ginger for happy hour and had yummy satay and spring rolls and awesome pomegranate cosmos.


After dinner we went to Crate and Barrel because I have some gift cards but ended up not buying anything.  Then we went home and had cake.  Tonight Paul is going to make me cannelloni.

MID 40s.  Ugh...

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
