Pregnant and without a ring....

So a couple of weeks ago, we sent my ring back to Logan, UT to Tim (who by the way is amazing). He is a jeweler at SE Needham's. Before Randy proposed, Tim and Randy worked for weeks on creating my ring from nothing but a few ideas. Anyway, we recently decided to add a wedding band onto my ring, but since it's so unique, we were having a hard time finding a band that would fit without covering up all the detailing on the sides. Needless to say, we sent it back to the miracleworker and above are the pics of what the band will look like. This is just the mold, before they even pour the gold, but I'm so impressed with it! Randy had both of our birthstones on the ring, his on one side and mine on the other. Therefore, the middle stone is actually Randy's birthstone.

Hence, pregnant and without a ring...not techinically anymore cause I felt too weird walking around without at least somthing on my finger. Therefore, a girl at work has loaned me a very large fake rock where the "gold" is actually tarnished on the sides.... hey. it works.

The Progress on the Crib

Dan and I have been working on this crib for about 2-3 months now and it is just getting to be exciting now. Before it was just a lot measuring and cutting and now it is fun to see it all coming together. Here are some pics.

P.S. I took these pics with the disposable camera that we bought in Nauvoo after our regular camera died. Sorry they suck.

The wood after it was planed off ( I think that is the word for made to look better from the ruff cut) and I had make a couple of hole in it already.

This doesn't look like much but it was hard to do for me.

Yeah this was not easy either, I guess every thing needs to be straight. Yeah, who knew.

Yeah this doesn't look like much either but that light wood is Ash and I had to drill 10 screws in to it to hold it down and make sure that the heads were flush with the top so the top cap of the darker wood (walnut) would fit tightly on it. Yeah ash is hard; I guess they make bats out of them. I broke two screws off in it so I had to figure a way to it those out before the top cap would sit flush. That sucked until Dan's dad came down and gave me the best tool in the world, a screw set drill bit. It did every thing I needed it to do and more . I love that tool.
