Pregnancies and toy boxes

Here is stephanie at 31 weeks she is now 35 weeks so we will put up a new picture next week of her.

Stephanie and her sister Alissa being pregnant together

Here is Lena who we are having a race with to see who will have their baby first. Lena is due 4 days before us we measured their belly's here and they were exactly the same size, we are pretty sure Lena will be beating us at the birth race since she has been on bed rest for the past month.

Here is the toy box Stephanie asked me to make her for Christmas this is during the sanding stage which I did in the apartment since it is freezing outside but we were cleaning dust off of everything for a couple of days.

This is during the staining process which took a long time, we put on 2 coats to make it a little darker.

This is one of the final things to do laquering the left has the laquer and the right is just the stain so it shined it up really nice. This took a really long time again we put on 2 coats to protect it and you have to wait a long time in between coats and turning the box.

Here is the finished product I cut out the letters at home and Steph painted them. We are pretty happy with it, it is currently filled with diapers the toys will come though as the diapers dissapear.

Such cute bellys! I remember the days, but I don't know that we looked that good, Did we Kathy? Of course we were in different states-countries when we had ours. ;( Hope all goes well Steph and Nathan, you deserve the best!
