barret's room

Update time! I'm 29 weeks today...which equals 7 months 1 week. Officially in my third and final trimester! I just can't believe how quickly this is going by. We only have about 2 1/2 months until Barret will be with us.

We are starting to get prepared...finally! I ordered the bedding and we purchased the crib and dresser/changing table this past weekend. Stephen and Heather came down and helped us start getting the room ready.

Heather and I went to Home Depot to pick out paint to match the bedding. I've actually never painted before, so deciding on a color was so hard for me. The bedding looked grey/blue online, but is more of a teal in person. We ended up picking a dark teal color for the wall. It was a bold choice for me...since our house is rather bland. I'm SO happy with the color that we chose. We left the other 3 walls the original tan color so that it isn't too overpowering. I just couldn't be more pleased with how it all turned out. Heather painted all by herself since they didn't have that color in the paint that was safe for me to use. Thank you so much Heather for all of your help!

Stephen and Travis put the crib together...as you can see in the following photos. We are just so happy with how it is turning out so far. We still have TONS to do though. We need to remove the desk from that room, move in a glider and possibly a book shelf, and decorate the walls. But we are headed in the right direction.

My baby shower back home is this weekend. I'm so looking forward to it. Amanda and all of the family have worked so hard to put it together, and I just can't wait to see everyone! I'm sure that lots of pictures will be taken...and I'll post them next week.

I'll post more of Barret's room as it comes together.
