28 Weeks + Nursery Progress

Hello 3rd Trimester- I am sooo happy to see you!  We have been busy lately wrapping up the holiday season and trying to get a jump start on preparations for Anderson’s arrival! 

Last month I was able to talk John into painting the nursery.  It ended up being somewhat of a painting horror story but I’m happy to say it is complete.  The painting that is. 

You’ve probably heard me refer to the guest bedroom as the nursery long before we were ever expecting.  The previous owners had painted chocolate brown as a nursery for their kids before we bought it. 

We had our work cut out for us as I decided on a much lighter blue/green/grey color. IMG_5330Sherwin Williams- “Quietude”IMG_5335 John went to town priming the walls. IMG_5331IMG_5332IMG_5337Have I mentioned he hates to paint?  I agreed to help so I went behind him and started the trim.  Thank goodness for “fume-free” paint!IMG_5333IMG_5353IMG_5346IMG_5349We learned that when painting with eggshell paint, you can’t section the walls{i.e. trim and roll}, which is what we did on the second coat.  John ended up having to roll a 3rd coat and I am so pleased with how the room turned out! 

Here is some inspiration and things we plan to purpose or have already! I’m hoping to knock it out sooner than later so I can enjoy his room before he gets here!  Baby T1

How far along? 28 weeks

Size of Baby T? Chinese Cabbage, weighing around 2 1/4 pounds and measuring at 14.8 inches long

Maternity Clothes? Pretty much all maternity these days

Stretch Marks? No signs of any yet

Gender? BOY!

Sleep? I’ve retired the boppy pillow for now.  I can’t seem to get comfortable unless I’m half way on my stomach.  

Movement? I can’t get enough of his little kicks and jabs but lately he has used my ribs as his punching bag. 

Cravings? I’ve full circled to my cravings of sandwiches and subs and sweets!

What I miss? being able to enjoy a drink when I want one, especially a glass of champagne around the holidays!
