Nursery Updates Part II

So let me start off by saying how much of an amazing job ROB did on the nursery. Yes, he gets 90% of the credit for how cute everything turned out! From working on the heating issue in her room, to painting the walls pink & white, adding chair rail, hanging the curtain rod/curtains, assembling allllll of her furniture (crib, changing table and dresser)... my wonderful hubby did it ALL. He told me I could help with the bedding and put her clothes away, but he was absolutely content with doing everything else.

I came home from work on Monday to a finished nursery! Rob had the day off from work and spent the whole day busting butt to have everything completed before my return. Don't worry, I rewarded him with dinner from any take out place of his choice. So after a delicious spread of chinese food and a few short relaxing minutes on the couch after a long day of work, he goes, "Ok ready to help me finish?"

I have never seen a guy so excited to put on lady bug sheets and a comforter set. He actually kind of took over and wanted to put everything on himself. So I let him do his thing and instead took on the fun task of hanging clothes in her closet (look how many outfits she has already!) That doesn't even count alllllll of her outfits already in the dresser drawers as well. Between my shopping binges and gifts from family and friends- she is going to be well dressed (at least until age 1) :-)

The girls were absolutely hilarious during this process. We haven't really utilized her room, knowing it would be converted to a nursery, so they were a bit hyper to explore this unknown/new territory. We kept yelling at them (I felt bad) to leave her room because I don't want them getting into the habit of climbing into the crib (have you ever met Lexi...?) or even worse chewing on any her clothes/stuffed animals/toys (again have you met Lexi....?) So for now, her room is off limits to the pups. They got bored pretty quick after they realized Mom and Dad were preoccupied and took an early snooze in their beds. I think they may sense "change is in the air..."

A big thank you to the future Aunt Kelly who bought her the adorable lady bug lamp on her dresser, Mamma Summers who purchased her comforter set and Mamma Schab who bought us a glider/ottoman set and will be delivering it to us at a later date. We are so incredibly blessed to have such amazing family and friends who are so excited for her arrival.
