ikea woes...

First and foremost, a special thanks to Rachel, Laurie, Tess and Abby (sorry guys) for taking my Ikea order and totally delivering...

My house it ripped! I've totally taken "nesting" to the extreme. My only problem is that after putting together my humongous 6x6 toy box/shelf by myself...I'm a tad tapped out. And all the things that I was so excited to get started and finish...ummm, not so excited right now. Oh, well. Such is life, right? I guess I'll go finish and try to muster up the courage to take some post-production pictures...I for sure didn't' take any pre!

and p.s.....Graham is totally out of the picture for names (sniff, sniff) Joe's having more and more issues with it...and now I have NO IDEA what this kid's going to be called!!! Not my favorite style. I've always known my babies names pre-birth and I'm afraid I'm not one of those people that can look at a newborn and think "Oh, he looks like a _____." (insert name)

I can't wait to see Truman and Kate's new set up.
About the the baby name. I know exactly how you feel! It's so hard! I'm still pulling for William! Don't fret...it will all work out and you will both love the name in the end!

Abby said...

I want to see pics too.. I love all the stuff you got at ikea... especially the huge shelf. As for names.... I have no idea... boy names are HARD! goodluck!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing the kid's toy area. I like the name William (Wil) for short. The name will come to you!

lori said...

Oh Suz.....you are Phoebe and I to a tee.....putting the stuff together ALL BY YOURSELF...of course I had Phoebe to bail me out ocassion, cause I don't read instructins too well :( Can't wait to see the pictures as well....IKEA really is fun...I'm thinking to use the square paper lamp shades for Vince's reception....do any of you know of some really bright battery lights??? I have a pretty bright LED one, but I don't like the blue color it emits.....Thinking of using them on the tables on some irons stands that I have....they look like tall lamps, but I want them lit. Can't plug them in so any of you creative people out there have any suggestions?
Again, Suzy thanks for the little bowls....I love them!!
Happy creating!!

hahahah... i am laughing soo hard! I feel your pain! I MYSELF put together the chest of drawers they delivered to me as well yesterday!
I was alarmed when i opened the instructions and it had a picture (of course no words) of one man crossed out... pointing to two men.
Obviously it was meant to be a TWO MAN job....hey that doesnt stop us right? And it turned out lovely! And I'm all about the calling and ordering and having it delivered! (Thanks girls) Can't wait to see the pics! and the name? wow hard... however, I not only never had a name, I never knew the sex! come on live on the edge a bit! hahah
love ya!

Hey suzy... you may already have this (being the pro at cool internet sites) but check out google reader.. it lets you know when somebody has updated their blog without having to go to each site. By the way, the baby name game can be such a dilemma. I mean... it's forever right??? Good luck!

oohhh the Ikea woes..... I still don't know how you put stuff together by yourself (I know you read the instructions) I let Chad do that. Plus your doing it while pregnant, be careful:)
