Nursery Progress!

Busy Busy!!!

We've been working on Addie's nursery for a while now, and although it's not quite done, it is looking GREAT!!

 Before

 Bottom color (sand) done.

Pink and Sand

I painted the trim work (crown moulding and chair rail).... Stella and Sabrina are somewhat lax in their supervising skills.

 

 All trimmed out and DONE!!

Reed did about 97% of the work, I don't move too fast these days, but I did help even though I was super slow. I created the "artwork" before we painted the pink top half.

Reed moved all Addie's furniture in the room one night when I went to pick up our dinner.

The BEAUTIFUL crib bedding set is courtesy of Grandma (Reed's mom).

Reed even painted the closet in the room! Sorry no "before" pic there, Just picture it as all white, dirty, and without the second shelf and rod.

We've already got some clothes in it but she's going to need a lot more if I plan on her being clothed on a daily basis.

We've gotten a few other necessities for our little girl's impending arrival, Mama C (my mom) sent us our travel system.

And Great-Grams (my grandmother) sent us the pack n play.

Stella would like to thank Grams for the box the pack n play came in. She hid in there for a few days.

If you look closely you can see her eye in there... what can I say? Photographing a black cat in a dark box is not my strong suit.

For those of you that aren't in Texas let me tell you it is HOT already. For those of you that are here, I feel ya. I'm officially in my third trimester of this pregnancy and I'm my own personal furnace so outside is my enemy.... unless it's the pool.... the pool is good.... really good.

6 months pregnant!

The humidity on our back door every morning when I wake up.

A few weeks ago Reed decided the pool was too shaded (and not warming quickly enough) for his liking so we borrowed a neighbor's extendable trimmer and Reed did a little trimming!

That big branch coming down and a few smaller ones really brightened up our back yard. We're both in the pool at least once a day now.

Memorial day weekend Reed went to the Indianapolis 500 with his dad and I went to Waco to see my family there. I brought my lil nephew Harrison a ball, he like throwing things and this ball seems light enough to do little damage, no update from my sister (his mom) if I was right as of yet.

Reed had a blast at Indy, but I'm sure he missed me TERRIBLY (hehehe).

Last week my cousin April was in town with her boyfriend JD who is an extraordinarily talented musician. So Addie got to "experience" her first concert!

John Dempsy Band!

The picture is from the side of the stage because April was so amazing to scrounge up a very comfortable chair for me so I didn't have to stand throughout the concert. It was wonderful! I was expecting to have a tough night having to stand in a crowded group, but being to the side of the stage in a cushy chair, plus the awesome music made for a lovely evening out!

All in all we're all doing great here! I'm growing our super human baby, she has no desire what-so-ever to sleep, and she never does. She's kicking and moving around in there all night and all day. Our 3D ultra sound is June 25, so I'll have some updated pictures of her after that (if she behaves and shows us her beautiful face).

'Til next time!!
