Her crib

Okay so I figured this deserved it's own post seperate from my weekly update.

We bought KK's crib last night and a few other items we needed. We also ate Coyote Blues last night and I realized that was probably our last date their before KK comes. We'll see though...I might have to make Darren go there again one night within the next week or two.

So Darren is about to sign with a contractor. They could start on B's room this coming Monday (if the weather lets them finish up their other job this week) We're putting KK in B's old room so once they start on his room I can start packing up his stuff and cleaning the room up really good and paint it. Then we can finally start putting all of KK's stuff in her room and setting everything up. It would be so cool if B's room is built before the kids come next weekend.

Our good friend Josh bought KK her crib. He's the Godfather and claimed this as his gift to us when we told everyone we were pregnant. We're so grateful for him buying this for her. He's such a good guy and I know this is only the beginning of him spoiling her.

I can't wait to set the crib up with the bedding set that came in last week. Hopefully everything is ready or almost ready for her when she arrives. I really don't mind her sleeping in her pack n play in our room for the first few weeks to be honest with you. The PNP my parents bought her has a co-sleeper attachment for it and I could set that right up next to our bed if her room isn't ready yet. Guess we'll see what happens.

Progress

Okay no, not that kinda progress but we're making progress on our addition. Originally, we had planned to build a 20X20 master bedroom onto the back of our house and put KK in our room. Well after getting quotes well over $35,000 for that we decided to enclose our covered patio/carport instead. Well it was kinda hard to find a contracting company that would do something so small without them trying to charge us for every.little.thing to make up for the small job.

Okay, so I was talking to my dad last night and he offered to come down here for a weekend and help Darren enclose it in themselves. My dad is so darn handy it's ridiculous. He built him and my stepmom's master bedroom and a cabana room at their house in one summer...by himself. I ran the idea by Darren and he's totally up for it!!! See, Darren isn't exactly a handy guy when it comes to building stuff. But with my dad's help and maybe even Darren's dad's help, it should be done in a weekend!!! We just gotta pick a few dates to run them by my dad and see when a good time for him to come would be. He's been working on their fishing camp in Montegut so hopefully he can tear himself away from that for one weekend to come do this for us.

And since I ordered KK's bedset Weds, it should be in soon. I'm going to try and talk Darren into letting me start taking Bailey's room apart so I can clean it really good and paint it the color I want to match the bedding. I think Bailey would be fine sleeping on the couch when they come stay until his room is built. I just REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna get started on the nursery because you never know when she is going to be ready to make her grand debut!!

Well today is my 35 week appointment. They're doing an NST scan. I can't believe how close it's getting for KK to finally be here!! I can't wait to meet our precious baby girl.

Darren made the comment last night that we need to get a bag packed for us and I was like OMG yeah that might be a good idea....it hit me last night that this could happen any time VERY soon. It's kinda overwhelming. I just hope that I can be a good mommy to this baby girl of ours.

I've waited 3 long years for this. I've had an empty spot in my heart since we lost Wyatt and even though I knew I was a mommy to an angel and a stepmom to two children...I never really felt like a mom. I've never had anyone call me mommy and I can't wait to hear those sweet words come out of our daughters mouth. I know I'll always have that spot in my heart for our son but hopefully his sister can help me heal a little bit better.

Found a tree decal

I was browsing the nursery decor board this morning while eating my breakfast and I found a site that has a 7 foot tall tree that ONLY costs $60! I can't freakin wait to order it.

I am calling a few contractors this morning to talk business. Hopefully we can get someone at our house this week to do a drawing and get this started. I very highly doubt this will be finished before baby girl comes but we'll see. I put it off too long..but it's my own fault.

More Hmmm....

I want a closet organizer. Nuff said!
The type of crib I want. Our daughter's godfather has offered to buy her crib. So one night pretty soon we are all going to Lafayette to go shopping and then we'll be treating him to some awesome Coyote Blues!

Possible paint color ideas...going for a light springy green/celery green I think.

I think doing a branch instead of a whole tree would be best. I'd have it coming out of a corner in the room and over the crib or over the changing table or something.

Hmmm

I believe I found our little girls bedding. I hate the pink in it but it's the first one I found that was under $200 that didn't SCREAM frou-frou to me! I like the "bird" theme and I would LOVE to put a tree decal up on a wall somewhere in the room. Now I'm just searching for who has the cheapest price on this set.

Thoughts???

Just a warning...there will probably be a few more posts today. I will probably put my nursery "together" on my blog because I have nothing better to do at work today.
