It's a....

baby GIRL!!!! Doug and I found out the sex on his birthday and we are beyond elated. I think I am still in shock! Doug claims she's wearing moo-moo's until she's 30 and is already worried about her meeting boys. Oy vay! I know the next question we'll get is "Have you picked a name?" We have...and we're not telling. Something needs to be a surprise! So for now you will hear her referred to as LP (Little Panther). Even though she's a girl, we're going to instill a love of football in her! Bring on the pink and purple!!! And here's a video for your viewing pleasure...they had to cut out her right arm because she kept hiding her face. She's shy already! Hopefully this too shall pass and she'll inherit her mom and dad's love for the camera :)

A big oops...

So I got a wild hair to paint tonight. Was doing it by myself and all was going well. Until I started to fall backwards and proceeded to knock over the entire gallon of paint. I screamed bloody murder and Doug came running. We saved some of the paint but most of it soaked right into the carpet.

So I've wanted to replace the carpet for awhile because it's just pretty nasty from the previous owners and now the decision has been made for us!! New carpet here we come :)....I'm trying to see the silver lining, okay?

Paint Colors...

Picking paint colors for the nursery should be an easy task. Doug and I knew we wanted a shade of tan...and thought we had it set when we painted the spare rooms last year. But pregnant women are moody and picky and never satisfied, and this color just isn't working for me. So we set off to find new paint. After a million samples, and sorting through paint names (I want this job....I want to name paint), we have decided on Beach House for the room and Steamed Milk for the window trim. It sounds so relaxing. So mark another thing off the list! Now to start painting...I'll post pics soon :).

Furniture!

Here's the crib we bought. Ignore the bedding. I like monkeys but Doug and I are not theme people. I don't like character things and so we're debating where we're going with that. We wanted a very small, simple crib. This looks a little like the one I wanted from Ikea that got discontinued so we'll see if it works!

Right now we have the boxes sitting in the room....we won't be doing anything until we paint. Then we'll have the pleasure of setting up!! YAY!
