Our Rocker is here!

The rocker just arrived!! I absolutely love it, fit in the room much better than I thought it would. It's so nice having another thing off the list! Now, I just need my hubby to put a tv in there for me to watch so I can recline with my feet up before the baby arrives.

Updated Room Pictures!

Well, DH and I had a super busy weekend!! He worked on the window valance and closet on Saturday while I tried doing some shopping at BRU, no luck though on my part. On Sunday morning, he set up the crib and dresser. After, we headed to the mall to order our rocker from LazyBoy! It is being delivered on Saturday. Then, we hit Target and bought a bunch of bedding/room type stuff. We decided to use the mix and match stuff from Target by Circo. We also bought a rug there but it's a little smaller than I'd like so I am going to see if I find anything else. Now, onto decorating and organizing!

My husband is very proud of his handy work, he just goes in the room and hangs in there doing nothing but looking around, so funny and cute. I absolutely love how it's turned out and can't wait to put those little touches on the room.

Here are a few updated photos!

Surprise! We have floors!

My husband is a nut! A good one though! He's a store manager for Walgreens, a 24 hour one. He works M-F, 8-6. But, the girl who works the overnight shift called in sick. So, the night manager stayed til 5am and my husband went in early. So, being he went in so early, he left early. I had an appt with my therapist so I didn't get home til 730PM. When I talked to him on the phone, I kinda thought to ask if he was going to do the floors but I thought no, I don't want him to feel pressured to do it. I figured he was exhausted. So, I get home and I notice all the Pergo boxes by the trash in the garage and when I walked in, all the boxes were out of the dining room. So, I asked him where'd all those boxes go? Sure enough, he did the floors this afternoon!! They are about 95% done, a few more rows and then the moldings. Here's how far my wonderful husband got after working so hard and getting up so early today....

We have Crown Molding and a Chair Rail!

My BIL wasn't able to make it on Friday so we hired someone to install it. We had been looking so we'd have a back up plan and the guy who came on Saturday was too good to resist! We had gotten some really high bids which was why we were holding off but this guy had a great rate!! I'm still in shock. Here are a few pics:





My DH will be installing the Pergo and closet this weekend so it should start to look more like a room soon. If things go well, I'm hoping to even get the crib assembled and in the room this weekend too! Stay tuned!

Kinda at a standstill on the nursery...

My BIL was too busy at work and wasn't able to come install the crown molding or the chair rail last week. My dh wanted to hold off on putting down the floors until that was done. So, for now, we're kinda in a holding pattern with continuing on the room. He is hoping to come by tomorrow to do the crown and chair rail though. If so, dh plans to install floors Sunday since we have family plans on Saturday.

Until then, we have been looking at gliders and trying to get that ordered. We have plans on Saturday to look at some more so that decision is almost done.

But for now, we've chosen the bedding and furniture.




I've been getting a few requests for belly pics as well. I've been in regular clothes up until this week so maybe soon. As of my last appt, I was only up 1.5 pounds. I lost 3 in the first trimester and just gained 4.5 pounds in the 2nd so you really can't tell. I promise once there's something to see that I'll take some but for now, there really isn't.

Hopefully, in a few days, I'll have pictures to show of the floors installed!

We have Paint!!

My husband took off a few days this week to start tackling the nursery. On Saturday and Sunday, we picked out paint, got crown molding and the chair rail along with some other misc. things. Here are a few not so good photos of the room before although we had already cleared it out.





And, here are the after photos. Of course, it's only the beginning since the floors are ripped out and the closet is also gone. Tomorrow, my BIL is coming over to install crown molding and the chair rail. Then, this weekend, the hubby will start installing the floors and put the closet back together!
