I have been feeling really unready for the coming of our new baby. The first step we took to be prepared was getting Gracie out of her crib and into a toddler bed. Well, she LOVED her new bed and hasn't gone back to her crib to sleep since we set the bed up!
Gracie and daddy reading her favorite bedtime story
After that, nothing happened for weeks. Then all of a sudden I got a wild hair about painting and we talked about the possibility for a few days before I left town :( When I left, so did the hope of painting the girls' room...oh well. When I got back home, I had Tim's mom with me and mentioned my wild hair to her (she is a wonderful grandma who is ready to help in any project!) and she set it in motion. We talked about how to rearrange the room, what colors to paint, and went to the store! Needless to say, thanks to Grandma Robison, the room is adorable! She spent her last days with us painting, and left us with a beautiful room :)
Before
After
Gracie was an absolute angel during the painting. She was content to play in the crib with some toys for hours on end for the 3 days we painted!
I'm not a decorator, but here are the few things we have on the walls...
I had this picture in my room from the time I was a little girl
Tim's mom gave the plate to me when I had Gracie, someone gave it to her in hopes that she would have a little girl...well she had 7 boys
A dear friend in Rexburg made these blocks for Gracie, they are so cute!
And here is a new favorite feature of the room- Gracie's toy corner! She has her kitchen to play with and the toys in the closet.
Unrelated to the new room, Gracie loves to play peek-a-boo in her closet. It makes me laugh every time she goes in one side and pops out the other saying "BOOO!"
Peek
a-BOO
With the painting done and everything back in the room I have been able to begin getting ready for the baby...Gracie came at 37 1/2 weeks. If this baby follows suit I could have a new born in 4 WEEKS!! It's a good thing nesting has set in, I'm going to need the motivation to clean and put my house together :)
