Eat Your Heart Out, Trading Spaces

2003/06/10

Our guest room redecorated for under $300, with the kind assistance of Super Target and my mom. Too bad it’s only going to look like this for 7 more months.

    I’m *such* a tard. I was baffled as to why you posted a picture of a toothbrush. It wasn’t until comment no.38 that I figured it out. Congratulations.

    p.s. don’t pin the kid with some weird name though. And if it’s a boy, promise you won’t dress him up like Little Lord Fauntleroy in green velvet shorts and ruffled shirt. I had an aunt that did that to one of my cousins….poor kid.

    Congrats!!

    I *must* be having an “emotional, hormones are fucked up” day, because I am literally shedding tears of joy for you! But I guess that’s not as lame as me weeping during a wedding scene on “Little Bill” (Nickelodeon cartoon) last week. At least you are a live human being.

    Congratulations! That is wonderful, Heather.

  • Tiff

    How wonderful you must feel to end up with a beautiful room and a I’m-sure-to-be-beautiful baby on the way! You can’t go wrong! I guess Utah hasn’t been such a bad transition. Congrats!

  • dvl

    congrats! come next spring you’ll wonder (1) how you could ever have professed to have “lived” before experiencing such immense love, and (2) why you wasted all that “free time” you had before. keep a camera handy from now on; though I still have to admit to having more pictures of my dog from her first year of life than of my child in total. :-D
    (and you thought you had it bad for frito-toes, just wait!)

    FYI: People frown on putting Formula 409 on babies, even if they smell like Fritos…or something worse.

    In the spirit of my ghetto friends back home, I think it proper to say something along the lines of, “I know *I* ain’t the baby’ daddy!”

    Which is to say “congratulations, love.” Be careful dear; the “Charm” and “Annoy” lists may start bulge over the next few months and become entirely separate website/entities/creatures. And I mean that in a good way. ;)

    congrats.

    Whew…a baby? I can’t imagine it for myself, but I guess it’s one of those “natural progression” things. If you’ve been wanting a baby, then I’m glad you’re having a baby. I’m sure you’ll be a great mother…teach him/her to think for him/herself, which I’m sure you’ll do (I can’t see you doing anything other than that, for some reason!). Best of luck….

    Congrats on the future Doocelette. Now might be the time to read The Story About the Baby (if you haven’t) to psyche yourself up.

  • Erin

    Congratulations! My stomach did an excited jumpy thing for you as soon as I saw the picture. This is going to be the coolest baby EVER.

  • Josh

    Happy pregos! You’re going to be bad-ass parents, but will the dog be jealous? Duhn-duh-duhnn!

  • celine

    I love the room! And I must say I know what it’s like renovating and refurbishing on a budget! Just bought my first condo and managed to get it all sorted out within 15K (malaysian Currency) thats about USD3,866.00. And there’s the library/homeoffice left to do up…sigghhh am getting depressed now…

    The best part of that last photo is seeing the shadow of you [taking the picture] on the counter and imagining how you must have been feeling. A most sincere congratulations.
