Not so long ago I mentioned that Mr MiH was building an office shed (hmm..my hobby room) in the garden so that Baby MiH could have his own room. Although the shed is not finished yet, we are starting to pack up for the move, and start decorating.

You can see why I need to de-stash - right - now.
You have seen this corner quite a few times now,
and this is probably the only thing that is going to remain as it is.
I am now calling
on your imagination and creativity. The 'shed' is very much work-in progress.
Apparently we could not possibly get rid of the cherry tree to make the shed bigger for
instance, and 'we' Mr MiH chose to build around it.
The structure is in place, the roof should appear this weekend, I believe we have
a door somewhere (probably in the garage) but no window as yet. And well you can see for yourself there is still a bit
to do. But we are getting there - only 4 weeks and a half left before the due
date, plenty of time, right!?
Let's talk about things I am responsible for ahead of the arrival of the little one. Let me introduce you to his Moses basket, or to
be precise Mr MiH's Moses basket. Hard to believe that the 6'2 man I married
ever fitted in this. It is in really good condition, and has been awaiting all of this time to welcome the first grandchild of the family.
To be honest I was worried when Mr MiH's Mum offered it to us - we don't have the same... taste in furniture - but I actually think it
is lovely... until I saw the roundabout - check out the late 70s fabric (and accompanying smell). Yes so that has to go, anyway it does not fit so not sure whether it is the right one. Also the mattress has to go - rectangular in an oval shape basket, interesting... So that will be a spare mattress - once it has been thoroughly cleaned.
So here we are: the next project on the long list of projects. Well all I can say is that it is really time for me to go on maternity leave (3 working days, THREE!!!!) - because I have things to get on with!
