Nursey is done!

Hi all!

Here are some pictures of the newly painted nursery. We went with the same green as in my kitchen and a lighter tan & white. I think it makes the room a lot more bright. I'm glad we used the white trim too, it would have been really dark otherwise. I've also got some of our goodies stashed away in the room. In one of the pictures, you can see the froggie theme! It was unintentional, but as soon as 'Grandma-to-be' saw the little froggies, she just had to get it! I'm so glad she did - it matches perfect and the blanket & bumper are so soft! Now we are on to creating registries & looking for a crib. I think I've found a nice one, but I just have to find the best price! For those that are wondering, we have created a few registries (all are accessible online too) at Target, JC Penny's, Babies-R-Us, & Wal-Mart.

I know the room is pretty small, but we should be able to get all the essentials in there (crib, changing table, dresser, chair). The rest of the stuff will be scattered around the house, I assume, or we can also use the little landing that's right outside the room. I'm getting the fifth degree from 'a couple people' about putting the dresser in the wall (because the closet goes the length of the room), so next time I post some pictures, it might look a little different!

I've also put on a few pounds, or it feels like it anyways...I have my next appt next week, so I'll let you know how that goes - I have the diabetes test and another test, so hopefully that goes well.

As for updates on Isaac, he is the best man in the world. I told him that I wanted to go and pick up some retaining wall blocks this weekend and then we can work at replacing the blocks around our deck. So we came back Saturday with a trailer full of blocks (yes, it was a little over loaded!), and we just dinked around a little on Saturday with it. Then I got home Monday after work, and the entire front side of the wall was done! He only had about 10 feet left to go, which he finished up after his planning & zoning meeting. I'm telling you all - he is the best husband in the world! I was so shocked at the change, I was speechless - and all he said was 'happy birthday' :) Man, I'm so spoiled!

Well, that's been the fun and excitment around Maurice for the last couple weeks. I'm getting more sore, tired, and larger and Isaac is loving being able to be outside finally and doing some projects, and the girls are just getting spoiled being outside all day and able to lay around in the grass while we work outside!

I hope your spring is going as well as ours is going so far!
