Houston We Have a Nursery.... Well Kinda

This weekend Leslie and I finally were able to work on the nursery. We have been out of town the previous two weekends so it was nice to finally get some work done. Before I go too much into detail on the nursery I will explain where we have been. Two weekends ago two very nice friends of ours Harrison and Beth were married in Knoxville. It was great going back to Knoxville and meeting up with friends that we have not seen in a very long time. While at the wedding we made sure to grab a picture of Leslie and Ashley Moneyhun. Ashley and I went to high school together and her and her husband are having a baby boy in August as well. Here is a picture.

Here is a picture of me and a few old friends from the wedding. Ashley's husband Jay is on the far left.

Last weekend Leslie and I drove to my parents house in St. Simon's Island, Georgia. I was surprised at how well Leslie did in the car. We didn't leave until after work on Friday afternoon and did not arrive until 3 in the morning. Leslie was able to sleep for a few hours in the car which helped the trip go by faster for her. We had a great weekend of walking on the beach and just relaxing. That will be our last big trip until the baby is born.

OK, onto the nursery. Here is what the room looked like before we began.

It's an ugly yellow, we know! That was the color of the room when we moved in and we never painted it.

The theme to our nursery is helicopters and airplanes. The bedding is blue and green so we took the bedding to Home Depot so they could match the paint for us to paint the walls. We have a border that separates the two colors, the blue being the sky and the green being the ground.

We painted the blue on Saturday and decided to call it a day and go to the pool so Leslie could cool down a bit. Sunday we finished painting the green.

The border is going to go right where the two colors meet and obviously we have to wait for the paint to dry before we put it up. Once we put the border up it will really tie the room together.

As far as furniture goes we still only have one piece. We have apparently picked a popular design and the crib and armoire are still on back order. We do have the dresser though and here is what it looks like.

Hopefully the rest of the furniture will come in soon or else my baby could be cribless!

And finally here is a picture of Leslie's belly at 27 weeks 2 days.

It's still really tiny! She is still running a 2-3 miles per day.

I will post more pictures of the nursery once we put the border up and then once we finally get the furniture.
