Nursery Trauma

We received the furniture back on the 17th. However, they sent the right furniture with the wrong finish. What we ordered was the cherry finish and the company sent a natural finish. The furniture was beautiful, but there just was not enough contrast in the room. It made the room look WAYYYY to yellow. In the pic below, the natural looks gorgeous. But walking into the room at night with lots of lighting, you are knocked down by the brightness. I went back to BRU and they graciously corrected the order.

Last night the correct furniture was delivered and the incorrect furniture was picked up. While the delivery people were pushing the chifferobe up to the house on the furniture dolly, rushing I should add, it falls and cracks a corner. So now we have 2 of the 3 pieces of furniture we ordered.

Mark and I put the crib together today. I have to say it is quite a nice piece of furniture.

So at this point the only furniture to add is the chifferobe and a chair of some sort. I can't decide if I want a regular La Z Boy, or if I want a rocker glider.

Of course I have already started buying cute little boy clothes. I have to give Mark credit, he purchased the first 3 pieces of clothing for the baby. But...

Here is the difference between Mommy and Daddy.

We will have a 3D and 4D ultrasound Thursday evening. The next update should be soon there after with pics and video. As soon as I can, I will post my pregnancy progression pics as well.

A Few Views of the Nursery in Progress

I finished painting tonight. The furniture arrives tomorrow. After all is set up I will post more pics.

The yellow is not as bright as it is in the pictures.

Here is some artwork I found at JoAnn's today. I thought that they were cute and would add some bright colors to the room.



We had another appointment with the perinatologist yesterday. It looks as if I will be giving birth to a moose. He is measuring 4 pounds at this point, about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Of course this measurement is based only on his head circumference. Mark and I both have big heads and there is usually some margin of error with these measurements. As I calculate it, if his growth rate is 1/2 pound a week, he should be about 8 pounds when he joins us sometime in March. That is really not bad considering my brother and I were 9 pound babies. Mark was only 6 pounds, so I am really hoping for that margin of error. :)

Oh yes, I almost forgot, he is still a boy!
