Week 1 back to work

Yeah, it sucked. This was the longest week EVER. I didn't even stay at work all day today. I had a rotten headache which I think is due to allergies (the pollen is horribly around here). Katie was out sick, too, and we had a good sub, so I went in and got some stuff done for the class and then came home and crawled in the bed. I ended up getting some Claritin-D when I went to pick Gracie up, and it has seemed to help- my face doesn't feel so swollen with goo.
We FINALLY got our registry completion coupon from Babies R US today. It only took 3 phone calls to them. So, the nursery is almost complete! We got the curtains and the mobile, and a sheet and changing pad cover. I also got the front carrier I've been wanting and a tummy-time play mat (it has dragonflies on it!!). Gracie LOVES the mobile. The little happy bees are soooo cute! The curtains look great, and I think Gracie will end up liking the carrier, too. She doesn't seem to like being in it facing me- she'd rather face out, but her neck isn't quite strong enough to ride in it like that for very long.
I will try to take some pictures of the nursery and post them this weekend. The only thing left in there to get is a bookshelf and a couple pictures. I have a very specific idea of the bookshelf I want, and haven't been able to find exactly what I want yet.
The Hurricanes lost tonight. Boo. So it now comes down to Washington needs to lose tomorrow night. So, go Panthers! If the Caps win, Carolina is out of the playoffs.
Randy is wanting to do some painting around here. We've picked out some colors for the loft, guest room and upstairs bath. They are very similar to our pastels in our old house- we really like the beachy feel of them. We've gotten tired of all the gray in here.
Not much else to report. Stay tuned for pics this weekend!
