Nursery in the works

From planning to buying supplies, last weekend Wayne finally got to the task of prepping the nursery for me to paint. He took down the old closet doors, tracking and trim, and we put up drywall and mudded to close the old closet off entirely. (On the upside of that, we're getting a nice, LARGE walk-in on our side!)

He got through one session of sanding the mud, but the wall was so unlevel that another coat was required. He should have that sanded down, so that we can texturize the wall again this week. Hopefully, by next Tuesday, I'll be painting away! We found the most amazing color; iced cilantro! It's a pale green that matches almost perfectly with the crib set.

After the painting, we'll be steam cleaning the carpet, then we can move all the furniture back in there! Because of other projects, we've decided to take some stress off Wayne by buying a crib. I've been bargain shopping, and think we've found a convertible crib that's perfect. A refinished oak dresser will serve as both Camilla's dresser/supply storage and changing table! I even found a pad that's made to go on top of a dresser (so we don't have to buy a changing table).

Outside of that, I want to thank everyone that has given us the other "necessities" for making a newborn feel right at home! Without you, I'd be lost in a whirlwind of shopper's remorse (not to mention the dent in my credit card!). I'm always grateful for hand-me-downs.... ;)

Next doc visit is tomorrow, so I'll update again later in the week!
