So we did it! The nursery is pretty much done (with the exception of the inside of the closet) To your left, you'll see the before picture. Pretty bad, I know. We had to tear off all of the wallpaper then patch the holes and finally repaint it. The top is a pale yellow while the bottom is a little darker yellow. Luke's mom painted most of the room since I couldn't. Then my m
om came up this weekend and we put all the new furniture together ourselves. The dresser was, by far, the hardest thing to put together. After all that was done, we put the bedding on just so we could see how it looked. I think it looks pretty dang good if I do say so myself. It makes me feel good to have the nursery done. I just want to stand in there and wait for Vivian to come. I'm so glad my mom could be here to help set up the rest of it, too. She wanted to help so much when she heard we were starting to paint, but it is hard when you live 4 hours away. Besides, I'd rather her be there for the finished pro
duct anyway rather then just help paint then not come up again until the baby is here. Luke was great! He wanted us to have the entire weekend to ourselves and we did. I really enjoyed it. I had so much fun with her! Luke's mom and sister also threw me a baby shower this weekend! They did such a great job. I really do have some awesome in-laws. We only played 2 games (thank goodness) then opened presents and ate the rest of the time. Baby Viv got SOOO much stuff. It was over whelming but very nice of everyone who came. Now I just need to get myself a baby monitor, mattress pad, and a few other odds and ends. Sure, I've got 6 weeks left, but having all this done takes a bit of the stress away. Now Luke and I just have to work on moving all our stuff once his grandma moves her furniture out. The big move in date is August 2! It'll be nice to finally be in there so I can
start working from home until this baby comes. This weekend I also found out that I have Group B Strep. I looked it up online, and let me tell you, those websites aren't the most pleasant places to look up that sort of info. I texted my friend Mel and she gave me some reassuring advice though which made me feel a little bit better. So technically I got rid of one stress with the nursery being finished and replaced it with another. Ha ha isn't that how life goes?? I just want her to be ok. That is my main concern right now.
So this year for the 4th of July, Luke and I just hung out with each other. We went to dinner at McGrath's and then went and saw Wall-E. (Cutest movie! I loved it!) My brother was in St. George so it was really nice just to have some one on one time w/the hubby. On Saturday I lounged around the house for most of the day while Luke went scouting for deer (Don't ask.. I didn't realize I married such a hunter either. Ha ha). Later we met up with friends of ours and ate at the Cheesecake Factory. Finally Sunday rolled around and we didn't do much at all. We went to church then took a two hour nap together. That was REALLY nice. I love naps! Then we went to his mom's for dinner. All in all, it was a pretty relaxing weekend. Ok so that was a pretty boring blog, but like I said, I'm new at this :) so bare w/me. P.S. I actually made dinner from a recipe I got off the Campbells website and it turned out good! High five for me! It was pretty simple so if anyone wants it, let me know and I'll pass it along.
