A Work in Progress...

The designing begins!!!!! I think my handy hubby looks manly and handsome in this staged photo of him painting what is to become baby Bowen's room. He disagrees. Regardless, I have to give him major praise for working so hard in taking the first steps to fully convert "Cody's room" into the nursery these past couple weekends!

For the paint, we decided on a pale, "soothing" green that at first turned out to be seemingly disastrous. The prior color in the room was a dark royalish blue, and I think the drastic contrast is what initially caused us to freak out once the first coat of cucumber green had been layered on. Once everything dried, we breathed a huge sigh of relief as I think it will ultimately look great upon getting everything put together and arranged...

Our chair came in this week. We didn't sit in it before we ordered it online (GASP!) but I have to say it's one of the most comfortable recliners I've ever relaxed in. Will be perfect for late night feedings and rocking screaming baby to sleep.


K also assembled baby's crib. Since her room is so close to ours, we decided against a bassinet in our room. From day one she'll be sleeping soundly here on her Colgate Classica 1 foam mattress - one can only hope for a peaceful night here and there, right?


More to come...
