Nesting Update

So, last week I was really productive! And it makes me very happy. Here are some of the things I was able to get done.

Purchased, and installed blue curtains, curtain rods etc. (how did I forget to take a picture of this? Sorry, next time). They are the perfect color, and size…. Thank you PBK!

Last week, I was also able to order the 7’ tall tree that will go on the wall behind the crib, and the little butterfly decals too. I’m really excited for their arrival, and hope to get them on the wall ASAP.

Jeff and I also did a little pseudo celebration of our anniversary (tomorrow) this weekend, which included the “new parents’ rite of passage”: painting the nursery. Jeff indulged me by letting me play sappy “love my little girl” music, while enjoying some wine. It was a good “paint date”.

So, here are the before, during and after photos. The room was “office brown” before, and we decided to paint one wall blue (the wall behind the crib). The color matches the camera shy curtains. I sat in the room for a while last night… and felt like saying “its is good”.
It started brown
we taped....(don't worry, he changed clothes later)
I promise, I helped too... Jeff is just the star of this photo shoot
finished blue wall.... woooo!
watching paint dry, and consoling Wrigley (change freakes her out)

Can’t wait for this week!

"Natasha"? Don't you mean, "Towanda"? Err, sorry, I meant, "Bertha Jane"? Wait, "Smacktisha". Yes, that's it.
