We started the nursery this week, and I use the term "we" very loosely since Jonathan is doing most of the work. Last Sunday, Jonathan painted the nursery. We picked out a color called "Niagara Mist" to put on the walls. We decided on just one color to keep the work simple, and went with a light color since I thought a darker blue would make the room look small and dark.
We took the closet doors off since they opened out and would hit any furniture along the wall. In place of the doors, we decided to hang curtains in case we need to hide the mess that may be the closet. I was incredibly lucky and found the exact curtains I wanted at the first store I looked. Jonathan again breathed a giant sigh of relief because he didn't think I would find what I wanted. He feared us hunting for months looking for some curtains that didn't exist.
Yesterday, we had the carpets cleaned...to get rid of all the Flash hair, and Jonathan hung the blinds and curtains. Jonathan has also started "safety proofing" the house. Mainly, he's just replacing the electrical outlets so little people can't get their fingers in there. Here's a sneak peek.
Today, we went to the store and purchased a bed. However, the box is too big to fit into the car so we'll have to go next week and pick it up with a little help. Recently, we had a few old newspapers framed for the nursery. Jonathan has been collecting newspapers since he was a kid and we thought it would be cool to put some old sports papers in the baby's room. (Thanks Laura for the great idea!) Our other project over winter break is to figure out some sort of closet organization. We need some sort of shelving or drawers for storage in the closet.
Today, Jonathan and I went for massages. I was hoping they might be able to help with my legs at night and the pain in my hip. The lady gave me a few tips and really worked on those areas so we'll see how the next few nights go. Over the past few weeks, I've really had a thing for Indian food. I've always liked Indian, but now I pretty much want it on a weekly basis. Surprisingly, it doesn't give me heartburn (knock on wood).
