Parker & Emma's Room

The nursery is finally coming together. This past weekend, Larry and the grandparents painted the room. We settled on a creamy yellow. In case you've never had to pick out yellow paint, let me tell you...it's difficult. Even the slightest bit of color can turn out looking like you're heading to touch up a school bus!

Larry and I are so thankful that our parents live in the area. We couldn't have gotten the room together so quickly without them. In two days, they hung new closet doors, primed the room, painted trim, and painted the wall color. I am so happy with how it has turned out.

Our furniture arrived on Tuesday and we spent all night putting it together. We ordered two cribs, one changing table (combo), and a dresser.


The Living Room was packed with boxes!

The bedding should be arriving in early February. Now that we have the furniture in the room, we can start planning on decorations for the walls. We also have to assign Emma and Parker to a specific crib so we can decorate accordingly.

Still on the list of "to do" for the nursery:
  • Mattresses
  • Curtains
  • Rug
  • Lamp
  • Nightlight
  • Wall Decor
We have our next appointment next week. At this appointment, I'll be tested for gestational diabetes. Please pray that the test will return normal. Check back for an update!

Trust me, I'm feeling ya on the yellow paint. Remember the school bus color fiasco in Fort Smith?

That is all so exciting. The furniture looks great!
Yep, we have two yellow rooms - each a different shade-- we have felt your pain.
