The Hatch Family: November

This month has been pretty crazy!! First off, I decided to paint a dresser/changing table. I wanted a specific style but could only find a dark cherry wood one used. Our crib is white so I decided to challenge myself! I was in such a hurry to start, I forgot to take pictures before having Brandon take the drawers out but you'll get the idea!

Before

One of our favorite little friends helped us with the sanding. I actually did quite a bit also!

Yea, not sure I want to do that again... at least not anytime soon!

Priming!

Who needs paint when primer looks this good??

After 2 coats of primer! 10 points to anyone who knows what movie I watched while I painted!

Finished and in the nursery! Still need to buy new handles though!!

Oh, yes that is an adorable boat filled with ity-bity diapers!!

Funny side story!! All the painting was done by me in the middle of the night. I got the flu and after throwing up for a few hours I still felt nauseous BUT there was nothing left. If I laid down, I had to run to the bathroom but if I kept busy I did a lot better! After spending a few hours painting I was finally able to lay down and sleep for 20-30 minutes at a time. I did the second coat of paint the next day when I stayed home from church!

I was so bummed when we put the drawers in, they stuck and some paint was pulled off so I'll have to do some touch ups!

For Thanksgiving we went to Agoura and had a great time! I had never done down town LA so we parked down there and took the underground all over. We saw the Hollywood sign, did the walk of fame, visited the old Hispanic part of town, and ended the day with Universals City Walk. I was so proud of myself for keeping up even when my legs are so much shorter than everyone else!

Of course, the boys went on a ride!

Tide pools & caves at El Matador beach!

They fixed the spa...

I always get caught making weird faces by the camera...

Love this one!

I wanted to take the tree home... Brandon said no!

This guy played his part WAY too well... he may have been a she!

And Cory tried to get rid of Rick!

I know this is crazy long, BUT we hit another milestone! 30 weeks today, that means we are 3/4 of the way through pregnancy and only 10 weeks away from being parents! Still can't believe it! He is SO active and loves to stretch, particularly right into my ribs! We now have a changing table/dresser combo, crib, and futon all in the nursery. I planned to get a rocking chair for Christmas but am not totally sure it will fit... I'm still thinking of ways we can arrange everything to get it there! We also got some outfits for him!
