Tick Tock

So, we are down to eight weeks and counting. It seems like little Henry is never going to get here. While we are so ready for him to make his grand entrance, we still have so much work to do. And in typcial Kim and Chip fashion we have waited until the last minute to try and get everything done.

If we can just get the nursery finished I would feel so much better and we haven't even started yet! We've been waiting on painting the nursery because I wanted to color match the paint to the bedding. Who knew it would take 2 months to get the bedding but it finally arrived yesterday. And after taking a look at it what do we decide? To paint the walls the same creamy beige color that can be currently be found in our living room. It actually goes really well with the colors in the bedding.

Chip has been working hard on the crib. He has made a lot of progress and I have to say when it gets done it will be beautiful! I can't wait to post the final pictures. He also has plans to make a matching dresser, but I'll be happy with the crib for now.

We also need to clean out the closets in the nursery in order to make room for all the baby gear. I'm thinking this won't take long, but you never can tell. I plan to head upstairs after I've posted this blog and get started. Once the closets are cleaned out we can get the shelving system set up to hold clothes, baby supplies, etc.

Whew. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. But I have faith that we will get everything done within the next eight weeks. And who knows, if Henry is anything like his parents, he will take his sweet time and be late buying us a little extra time!

Don't worry...you'll get it all done! And if you don't, little Henry won't notice! :) Poor Noah didn't even have a home when he arrived (we were staying with my parents while our house was being completed). BTW, LOVE the name Henry. It's on my short list if this baby is a boy and is the only one of the three names I love that Aaron approves of. :)
