The Baby's Room

The baby's room is underway- Very exciting! We had the bedding delivered last week...boy has this been a debacle. We were planning on purchasing in a Babies R Us, but apparently they decided to discontinue one of their most sets- Go figure- and we had to go through some websites. But it arrived and I'm very happy with it. It's a very cute print (as you'll see) and the quality is great! So the crib and bedding are together.

Yesterday the excited grandpa and daddy were painting away in the room. And of course, this was another situation. We spent (well if it was up to Rich he'd be in and out in ten minutes, so it was me...) an hour and a half picking out the perfect wall colors. The print is tricky to match because there are warm and cool tones in the set, so deciding which to go with was difficult. However, at the end of the long debate, we left happy with what we thought were our choices. Sure enough, the paint that was mixed by the computer was not exactly the swatch- how this happens I don't know. But whatever, we paint with two different colors that our picked swatches and wait for the outcome. The walls are almost done for now, and do look great. This might end up better than the other option! And as soon as the little tyke is added in, no one will care about the walls anyway!

The furniture is going to be delivered this week, so we'll be picking it up by this weekend. And it comes pre-assembled... how exciting!

So here are some pics of the progress ... to add will be the furniture, shelves, some wall hangings.

I love the room! It is so cute. The colors are perfect. The little animals prints are adorable. How exciting. Yeah I can just imagine rich wanting to just paint and get it done. Men don't realize that this process takes a lot of thought. It needs to be done just right. Only a pregnant woman can understand that.

Love ya guys!
