Not making this up

I completed the online maternity pre-registration at the hospital where we'll be having the baby. After asking me to enter my due date the next question was, "Is this work comp related?" Uh, NO. It's pretty disturbing to imagine any scenario in which pregnancy could be work comp related.

Before and After

The baby's room preparations are coming together. This is the before and after of the chair I got off Craigslist and had re-upholstered.

Before:
After:
The best part about re-upholstering the chair is that it's no longer covered in cat hair. I actually kind of liked the original orange color but the cat hair situation was extreme.

This was taken on our Valentine's Day outing to the Ansel Adams exhibit at the Phoenix Museum of Art.

The weather was particularly glorious and it really put our Valentine's Day celebration over the top. Speaking of over the top--my husband presented this masterpiece to me on Sunday morning.
That's right; the multi-grain pancakes, bananas and walnuts are all heart-shaped. The orange juice is freshly squeezed. I hope you'll excuse the shameless bragging but I can't hold back. He specifically told me NOT to tell anyone about this. Actually, I'm sure that he knew that I'd for sure tell my sister and sisters-in-law about it and that it would only be a matter of time before my brothers and his were giving him guff. He also brought me roses and an ice cream cake and scrubbed down the shower. So, I compromised by not posting the picture on Facebook. It's not my problem if he makes other husbands look bad. ;) The really funny part about all this that I tried to make little berry hand pies for him and they were an embarrassing disaster. There is no photographic evidence of that crumbly, berry-juice leaking fiasco.
