Nursery Update

So it's been a while since I've posted anything other than a weekly update.  We had a very busy December and beginning of January!  It's so hard to believe we're less than three months away from our due date!  I can't wait to find out if this baby is a he or she, and finally meet this little thing that's been keeping me up at all hours of the night! 

Last week, I was out of town for work.  It was my last trip before I'm not allowed to fly, and it was so nice to see all my co-workers one more time before Baby T arrives.  It was also my bosses last week with our company and I was so glad I got to see her again, even though I barely got time to talk with her!

While I was in the office, one of my co-workers brought in her new baby, any my amazing work family threw me a shower.  It was so sweet!  It was great to see Shannon and baby Payton too... she's adorable!

We've been working on the nursery for what seems like weeks now.  Mark painted while he was off the week of Christmas, and now we're working on the closet.  We've got the shelves installed, and Mark is working on finishing up the doors... it's just turned into a huge fiasco!

When we bought the house, the two smaller bedrooms had bypass doors on the closets.  They were really thick and old, so I wanted to put new doors on the closets.  We bought a set of primed bi-fold doors to put in the nursery and when we got them home, we discovered that they were too wide and too short for the opening.  After some consultation with his dad, Mark figured out how to fix the issues... and one of the fixes requires installing trim around the closet.  In order to do this, he has to remove the trim from the base board, cut it to size, and then re-install.  Well, as he was trying to remove one of the pieces, it broke, so I said we will just put new trim in the entire room.  He said no and won that argument.  But when he went to the store, we found out they don't have the trim in the size we need!  So we may end up putting new trim in the entire room anyway.  I just want the room to be done... I feel so anxious because so many things are beyond my control, and this is one thing that I have some semblance of influence over!

A few weeks ago, I took some adorable pics of Dash cuddling with the baby... I'm still nervous about how he is going to react when the baby arrives.  I'm sure he will be fine, but can't help but worry nonetheless.  

 

 What a cutie pie!  Hope you are all having a great week!
