The next morning we all got ready and headed off to the 3D/4D Ultrasound which also had live video streaming for all of the family and friends to see with us! (see earlier post)....then back home to paint.
The baby's room was a very UGLY hot pink with purple baseboards. Courtney picked English White (cream color) for the walls and white for the baseboards. Luckily the weather was nice, so we could open the window for ventilation. We also put a towel under the door to block the fumes and of course block Courtney out of the room! It worked and the fumes never made it outside of the room!
Sunday we painted the baseboards. Last summer, Courtney and Mike bought second hand oak furniture, stripped it down and had plans on staining it for a bedroom. After Courtney picked the ebony colored crib, chest and changing table, we decided to stain the extra dresser, chest and twin bed an ebony color to match. This way the kids (yes they are still kids to me....and always will be!) could save money and still have BEAUTIFUL matching furniture in the nursery. Sunday into Monday, we stained furniture and added new hardware. The look is modern and sleek! They will send me pictures when they have time to organize the room. Hopefully it will be this weekend. Then we will be filling the room with baby stuff from the showers and Christmas in the future! (The pictures show the wall color....very neutral!)
Finally, Monday afternoon rolled around for the Level II ultrasound with the OB (see earlier post). We were sooooo excited after seeing that all was well with the baby.... we actually bought a few clothing items for Nevaeh! Here are a few items!
Tuesday came way tooooo fast with the 7 hour road trip home. I can say that I am pretty proud of myself for driving that far alone, doing all this work and still being able to move my tired body to work on Wednesday! It is amazing how a little baby can bring so much joy and energy to our lives!
A memory that I will keep with me for a lifetime is seeing my daughter walking out of the bathroom just as she did when she was a little girl....with a towel wrapped around her wet hair and a towel wrapped around her body....the only difference was a baby belly peeking out of the towel where the ends met in the front! (HOW PRECIOUS!)
