Pictures of Nursery - Work still in progress!

We still have work to do in here. To make a long story short, we had to put the furniture in before we paint. So in these pictures, the walls haven't been painted & the wallpaper border is still up. Our plans are to paint the nursery a classic taupe color and remove the border. The barn stars on the changer/dresser will be hung above the dresser, not left sitting there. Above the chest of drawers I'm either going to hang a wooden sign that says "Thank Heaven for Little Boys" or buy unfinished wooden letters that spell out Jace. I'll paint them to match the stars and hang them at alternating heights by ribbon. Once the nursery is completely finished, I'll post more pics.

Nursery is Underway!!!

This Saturday, Joe went to pickup the furniture for the nursery. We cleaned out the computer room and Joe ended up having to clean out the laundry room, too, to make some storage room. Anyway, we got the room all emptied out and I had enough time to clean the baseboards and the floor before the furniture had to be brought in. It looked like we were going to get an awful storm and the furniture was under our carport in cardboard boxes. We were afraid it would get wet, so we brought it all in and got it put together. It's all in place, but we still have to take down the existing wallpaper border and clean and paint the walls and ceiling. Joe would like to change out the light switch because it makes too much noise flipping on & off. It'll wake the baby up for sure! We've picked out the wall color of a classic taupe. I have clothing in the drawers as I did baby laundry on Saturday, too, while we worked. I also bleached and cleaned the bassinet we were given to use.

Friday night after work, we went to Babies R Us to finish up the baby gift registry. I felt completely lost in looking at all the different selections. They gave us a list of what we needed and the quantity, but I just felt lost trying to compare one brand to the next. Oh well. We did the best we could to register for only things we need. The house is way too full as it is now for big stuff or things we can't use. It's going to be interesting adding a third person into the mix!

After having fun at BRU, we went to dinner at Sam & Andy's and then went to see a movie. We saw Wall-E. It was so cute. I was completely uncomfortable in their chairs, though. I had a lot of pain from my pants cutting into my belly. I couldn't wait to get home.

Sunday was a day of rest and finishing laundry & dishes. Joe did some studying and we both napped! Lol... We better get used to not getting any naps, huh???

Needless to say, the computer is tore down right now and waiting for a new home (spot in our house). Once we find a place for it, we'll get back on-line and get things up to date with pictures of the nursery and stuff. Well enough for now. It's time for me to go home!
