For the past few weeks Tony and I have been sorting through tons of stuff we have acquired in the five years we have lived in this house in the office and attic. We got my desk emptied out and stored in the attic for the time being. With this major project out of the way, we were able to move the "spare bedroom" furniture into the office area so that we can start working on the nursery. Although we were initially worried about how tight the office/spare bedroom might be, it actually seems to work.
I finally made a decision on what the theme for the nursery is going to be and ordered the bedding today. Once that comes in we will be able to choose a paint color for Max's room. (Honestly, I'll just be glad to finally be getting rid of the ugly "Hey Diddle Diddle" border that I never got around to taking down!) The set I ordered for the baby's room is called Alphabet Soup from Target. Although we really wanted to do an all Horton Hears a Who theme, it seemed like it was going to be entirely too hard and I wasn't really wanting to paint a mural on the wall. Instead, we are going with the alphabet crib bedding and will accent the walls with framed children's book covers. We will of course include Horton with an addition of a shelf full of Hortons that we have acquired!
We will keep you updated with the progress, but for only being 24 weeks I think we're doing pretty good! Then again, do I really want to be doing all of this at the end of December/early January when I'm out of school? I'm hoping to have the bulk of the decorating done by the end of December so when I'm really big and uncomfortable I only have organizing of baby things to do. Then again...we all know how ADD I can be so who knows!
Next update will be after my 24 week doctor appointment. Yummy glucose testing is this week!
