PadThai got a new name when he entered the world outside the womb. . .we introduce Keenan Charles Ulrich, born at 4:58 a.m. on January 21st, 2008. He surprised us all when he chose to make his big debut three weeks earlier than his due date, tipping the scales at 6 pounds, 12 ounces and measuring 19 inches long.

He's our lil' bundle of perfection, and we'll share him with our friends and family through this web site.

PadThai's Nursery: Unveiled!


PadThai now has a happy little piece of our home to call his own. Benny and I toiled all weekend long to pull this little room together, and we're pretty happy with how it came out.

There are still a few things missing. . .like the fun rocking chair Grandma and Grandpa DeGeorge ordered for us and a window covering of some sort. Plus, we're still missing all those super fun items associated with poopy diapers, like "genies" and changing pads. I think we're still in denial about THAT part of raising a lil' man.

Daphne seems to like the room, too. . .as I painted, Daphne spread herself out right beneath the crib. Once PadThai makes his big debut, we're wondering if she'll decide to sleep in PadThai's room as his personal guard dog, or if she'll stick with guarding us at the foot of our bed. (Oh, by the way, don't worry about pregnant Lori painting. . .Ben did all the smelly primer painting, and I painted the walls and trim with low-VOC paint, so the toxic smell was minimal.)



Here are some pics. . .the blue ones are the "Before shots." The blue really looked quite nice, but we decided to change it up anyway. . .PadThai deserves something fresh, new, and bright!

The fun things we like are: the Moose Family painting above the crib. . .Papa, Mama, and PadThai moose; the dog butt hooks from Ikea which have not been hung yet (but you can see them sitting on one of the dressers in the picture; the framed pages from cute children's books above the changing table and Frog & Toad in the corner; and the Yellowstone Animals Mobile.

Now we just need the baby. And that diaper stuff.

Yes, we are THRILLED to have the nursery done. Home projects typically take longer than expected, so we are happy to finish this one before move-in day.

Noticed something this morning...when the furnace runs, the vent blows air at the mobile and the wild animals spin slowly.

Just like we planned it...
