Preparing for Baby

I know it may seem early, I mean I am only 24 weeks but we ( Aaron & I) have been busy nesting i guess you could say. However, we kind of have to stay on top of things for two reason, one it's no secret that the third trimester and I don't have a good track record,  and second with Aaron's schedule or lack of I should say we have to take full advantage of the time he is home because we never know from week to week or even day to day when or how long he'll be home.

 

So just what have we done? Well in the last 2 weeks we cleared out the room that Aaron was using as an office, which was  Audrey's nursery a few years back and still had the light tan with a hint of pink walls. So we repainted the walls to a light blue, put up some crown molding, and ripped up the carpet. We have also bought a swing, a nursery bedding set, and a crib which we have already put together.

The start of Ethan's room!

One thing about Aaron is once you get him working he's hard to get to slow down. Before we where even finished with the baby's room he was ripping the wall paper off the wall in our breakfast area. It's a project we have talked about since we moved in over 3 years ago but just hadn't gotten around to it.

The color scheme of that room and the kitchen are green and white. Since all the trim and cabinets in that room are white i wanted to paint the walls a green. Well the hubby tells me to pick out a color I like online from the Home Depot page, and that he will drive up and get it. He doesn't like the color I originally pick because it is a small room and it was a dark green and he didn't think that was a good idea. So I picked a lighter color and lets just say it wasn't pretty! Here have a look for yourself.

Any one else thinking about mint chocolate chip ice cream?

OK, are you done laughing yet or should I give you another minute? As soon as we put it on the wall we both cringed but kept painting any way thinking maybe it would look better when it dried, but by the time we had the room painted we agreed it was awful and had to be changed! I was then informed I was no longer allowed to pick paint colors, like it was all my fault!?!?! So back to the paint store he went and came back with the darker color might I add. So back to painting he went and this time we are happy, or at least I am and Aaron has decided it will work because he's not painting the room again.

 

We have also been talking about moving Audrey into a bigger bed for a little while now, and with  so much change already taking place around the house we decided that it was about time we took care of that too. Audrey was so excited while we where setting it up, but then when it came time for bed my girl who hates change decided she needed her old bed back. It took a little convincing but she did spend the night in her new bed with no issues. The next day papa John delivered big with a princess bedding set and that was all she needed. She hasn't asked for her old bed again, actually she even offered to let baby Ethan use it. She is going to be a great big sister!

 

She look like such a little peanut in her big bed.

As you can see my husband has been a busy bee. I really am a luck gal to have such a hard working hubby, and it's just one of the many many reason why I love him. Since he's polished so much off the  list I'm going to have to sit and think of what else I can add, because there must always be a honey do list :)  Haha!
