34 weeks and Leah-obsessed

Leah (my extremely fun and extremely talented sister-in-law) came for a visit last week.
Extremely fun: going to the Taylor Swift concert!
Extremely talented: painting the baby's room... at midnight... after the concert.  (I have to call it a baby's room because the word "nursery" gives me the creeps).  Anywho, Leah rocks at painting.  She doesn't even tape the trim.  I suppose I could say that I helped... a little... basically I had this giant roller and I painted the middle of the wall.  Then I sat on a dog bed and watched her paint the rest.  It would've taken me hours, maybe even days to finish the job.  Leah woke up early the next day to do a few touch ups and viola!  The room was done!  Then she helped me decorate and hang shelves (which I knew was hard because I heard her cuss a few times under her breath).  Here is a before picture:

And the finished product:





Continuing on with how talented Leah is... The next day she took our pre-baby family pictures.  She did such a fantastic job.  Leah is going to be a super-successful professional photographer someday soon.  I hope she uses my picture on the cover of her brochures.  Here are some pics from the shoot (PS - these haven't been touched up with Photoshop or anything, just Leah's raw talent!):

Aren't you lucky to have Leah in the family - like another sister. The room is beautiful & even makes more anxious for the little one. xxoo gma dar
