Big weekend!
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.

I had GBS too. It's not bad. They just hook you up to the penicillin through your IV. Except you have to be on it like the whole time you're in labor. It didn't feel so swell when it hit the vein for me, but I was on 4-5 different medications through my IV, so that could have something to do with it! Just pray you don't go toxemic. As great as it was to be induced at 39 weeks, that magnesium they have to put ya on really makes you loopy, nauseous, and HOT!
PS: the nursery looks great!
Oh my gosh the room looks so good! That just makes it all the more real! :)
GBS...what is that??
The nursery looks awesome!! you guys did such a great job! Viv will have such a cute room to sleep in. I can't believe you only have 6 weeks left!! YIPEE!! Don't worry about the GBS too much. It will all be okay :)
What fun! Doncha love the nesting phase? Baby Viv will have such a cozy place to rest after leaving her current cozy place.
I just looked more closely at your decor. We decorated with Classic Pooh as well! It's such a fun collection!
