Yeah, I like it too

I recently signed up to stop receiving telephone books. They usually just add clutter to my house. I hardly ever use them, I can find the information I want via the internet. Also, I get the bonus karma of saving some trees.

They are trying to sign up 10,000 this week. So I thought I'd try to help.

When we found out we were having a fourth child, we knew we'd have to do some room shuffling. We have a four bedroom house. Right now, Elise and Claire share a room and Jake has his own room. The fourth bedroom was being "used" as Ben's photo studio. With the new baby, we decided that Ben needed to loose the photo studio. He hadn't been using it very much, and we needed the space.

Elise has been very excited about getting her own room. Claire will get to share a room with the baby.

I have been on the look out for decorating ideas for Elise's new room. I wanted something a little more grown up, but still fun.

Here are some ideas I've found for the overall style/color scheme:



Here is the comforter I want to get:


I just finished painting a yard sale dresser black, and we have some brushed chrome hardware for it. I also have a big mirror I'm going to paint black to use as part of a vanity set up. When we paint the walls, I'll probablly do them white and have a green accent wall. I think it's going to end up being really cute. I've got a long way to go, but If I ever finish it, I'll post some pics.

Four weeks until my due date. We still haven't picked out a name. I like the name Lucy. We've also thought about Jules. Nobody else seems to like Jules. I thought maybe Juliette, and her nick name would be Jules. Ughh. Ben hasn't been too helpful with the name search. He shoots down everything I suggest.

I'd like a name that fits in well with Elise Michelle and Claire Danielle. Both have french names for their first and middle names. I just can't seem to find one. I think Noelle would be a good middle name.

This pregnancy seems to have gone by pretty fast. I'm not sure if I'm ready for a baby. It's been 5 1/2 years since Claire. I am a little nervous. Claire was a pretty good baby. She was happy, slept well, kept herself entertained, was healthy, and loved to be around people. I'm scared this one will be a terror.

Maybe I'll finally get a baby with red hair, or at least one that looks a little more like me.

Four more weeks, It'll be nice not having to go to the bathroom every twenty minutes. And to be able to put my shoes on like a normal person.

I hope all the mom's who read this had a nice Mother's Day. Ben made pancakes, and I got a ton of homemade cards and other goodies from the kids.
