Paint!

So after William was done priming with the paint sprayer, he came out all white! So before he started with the blue, we got him a jump suit and mask. He still ended with a little blue in his hair and eye lashes as well as his feet! The room looks really good, very bright! Now I am going to draw circles on the walls for William to paint when he gets back from Denver. He also has to paint the ceiling and then we are pretty much done! Click on the picture to see more!

Texturing is done!

And priming has begun! I tried to tell William that he could take a break and wait til the weekend, but he start priming last night. He primed all of the spots we painted around the room to see if the texture looked ok. Now the rest of the orange wall needs to be primed.

26 weeks!

Its not the prettiest pic but there I am!

Texturing!

William is texturing the walls in the room. Abbie was "helping" him for a while. She was mostly sitting and watching the lights reflecting on the walls. But when she started to try and jump and get one, I decided she should probably not help any more so this is what she did instead.

Baby Furniture!

So we got out baby furniture this week. We weren't exactly planning on getting it but had to. Let me explain...
I randomly got on sears' website to look and see if maybe our furniture was on sale. When I looked, the dresser no longer appeared on the website! So I called their internet customer service people and asked if that means if they are no longer selling that set. She says if it is gone off the web then they probably won't be selling it any more! So by this time I am internally freaking out because that is the only set that William and I have agreed on. So I started calling all of the sears' in the area to see if they had all the pieces before they disappeared! Only the Arden fair location had the pieces but would not hold them for more than the day. So we had to run down and buy the furniture before it was gone! We ended up getting the crib, dresser, changing table and glider and ottoman. But since we are still about a week or so away from painting, the stuff is all sitting in boxes in the garage! I am anxious now to get it all set up and see the room starting to come together!
Here is the link for the crib, changer and glider. Like I said the dresser is no longer on their site.

Belly Picture!

So here I am at 24 weeks. It was funny taking this picture because Abbie gets really excited any time I turn on the camera so she kept sitting in front of Courtney waiting for her picture to be taking. So she decided that she wanted to be in the picture with me!

Painting Practice

Here we are practicing circles. Our plan is for the main wall color to be the blue you see, and then accents with circles in the green and other shades of blue. (not in the pics) Most of the circles were just traced on the wall and then free hand painted. We tried a stencil and stamping, both were a pain. We also discovered that William has a little bit of an artist in him (or may be just an anal retentive perfectionist!) He is in charge of the circles, I cannot be trusted with this task! I did a few the big blue one, and the bottom of the group of three blue ones. It seems that as I go my circle gets bigger trying to make up for the bumps and blurbs! This weekend was also busy putting a final coat of paint on the dining area. That room is now done except for about 8 feet worth of flooring, baseboards and trim around the door. We figure we should try and get one thing done before we really start on the other! My goal is for us to have the baby's room done by the end of August or beginning of September. We shall see!
