What have the Turner's been doing lately?

I am so bad at this blogging thing. Maybe after a while I'll have more time. So in response to Jared's last post one of us (him) was a little bit nervous about labor after our birthing class, and one of us (me) was FREAKED OUT!!!! He just forgot to mention that part, and how obsessed I've been thinking about all of the horrible things and how scary they make it sound and asking him question after question because he's the "medical" expert of the family. So this is what we've been up to for the past month:

Organizing the basement (no picture) just use your imagination on this one
Making curtains for our mini-windows so we don't go blind
Refurbishing one of these 50-year-old hand-me-down dressers for Baby Turner
Before
After - not kidding...it turned out great!
We also bought her bedding (butterflies) and this awesome chair...it is sooooo comfortable
Got a PINK car seat and stroller (Jared wouldn't have it any other way) and...he even wanted to take if for a test run around the block but I talked him into walking it up and down the hallway
And last but not least (my favorite part) fixed up my lame interior decorating skills
Before
After...you got to see it in person
So, I bought some haybales thinking I could do something creative with them...
Jared hated them...
I couldn't figure out how to get them to look like this...but yeah totally what I was imagining in my head...
Then my co-worker friend came to my rescue and created these wonderful arrangements with all my same stuff + some and I love it!!!!
She would love to start her own business some day...
and now Jared really likes them...
