Making Room for Our Little One - Phase 3

After seeing pictures of a few friends who are painting their rooms for the baby's they are expecting, I decided we needed to paint our baby's room.  We decided to paint just one wall...well that is all I could get Ted to agree to...he was doing all the painting after all :-)  The color is "overalls".  Here are a few shots of Ted working hard and painting.  

Getting Started

It is a nice blue color.  Looks really good in there, the photos don't do it justice.  Stay tuned for some complete room photos :-)

Making Room for Our Little One - Phase 1 & 2

Up until now the baby's room has been known as the office or the MAN room as Ted likes to call it.  Well Ted is loosing his "man" room to the baby.  I am sure this is just one of many things we will loose to the baby, but he is worth it :-)  We have slowly started to pile things in the room and move a few things out.  This weekend we tackled a big portion of it.  Friday night started Phase 1 - assembling the futon.  We decided since we want family to come stay when he is born that we needed to have something better for them to sleep on than an air mattress.  So we got a futon and Friday night we put it together.  Now I am going to say "we" alot throughout this process, just know I mean Ted...I took pictures and handed him pieces and even read some directions now and again.  

 

The room before - a little messy, but like I said this is not a true before pic because we had already moved some stuff out.  

The Final Product - Hotel Kempinski is OPEN!!!

Ted relaxing after all his hard work...Maddie coming to check out exactly what is going on in here!!

PHASE 2 - The Crib

Yes he is actually reading the instructions!!

My very own Mr. Wilson :-)

See I actually did help a little :-) 33 weeks

Proud Dad of all his hard work :-)

The Final Product!!

It is still a little strange walking into the room and seeing the crib!  I can't believe he will be here so soon!!  This week Ted is going to paint one of the walls, then to position the furniture, fill the drawers, put up the curtains, put on the bedding and many many more things :-)  I think this will keep me busy for awhile! 

Expecting a Baby

Ted and I were lucky enough to find out on February 3, 2010 that we are expecting our first child!! We are so excited! He is due on October 10, 2010 - yup that is right we are expecting a BOY!!!! We are about 7 weeks away from his arrival and could not be more excited...and scared! We have been getting the house ready and starting to feel the change this little one is going to make in our lives. Here are some pictures of his first few ultrasounds!

Our First Ultrasound 3/8/10

We found out we were having a little boy on 5/11/10.  We could not be more excited!!  This ultrasound was amazing because we were able to see him move around more and we were there for about an hour just watching him while the technician measured him.  He is perfect!!  

His little foot!!  I LOVE baby feet!

The skeletal view...kinda creepy but still my adorable son!

So I have done it, my first blog posting. I hope to keep this updated for all the family and friends that live far away and don't see us very often.  This weekend we are setting up his room and Ted will be painting this week.  Can't believe we only have 7 more weeks!!
