Yay! We're done painting :D

That's right, we no longer have to paint her room (well at least until she gets old enough to write on the walls or she has an opinion of what color she would like), but for now, it's done. Now for the furniture and accessories! The fun part, in my opinion. The best part will be the baby that goes in there though. Not too much longer, a little over 12 weeks! Here is a final picture of her room and one of her closet. And also, the latest picture of me at 27 and half weeks (Sunday). Don't mind the goofy face :)

Winning

Let me ask you what does it mean to be winning? I believe it is all on what your goals are. If a team at the beginning of the year sets out what they want to accomplish. If they accomplish those goals they would consider themselves a winninging team even though their record may not reflect it. If they don't accomplish those goals they are a losing team. What kind of team doesn't set goals? How can they know if they are winning or losing? As a parent how do we know if we are winning or losing? Have you set up goals for your children? Do you know who you want them to be when they leave home? What are the dreams you have for them? Are they obtainable?

Once a team figures out their goals, they will then figure out how they will go about accomplishing those goals and what they will need to do or not to do to make sure they are accomplished. That can also define winning and losing. How about you, as a parent have you and your spouse sat down and figure out how you are going to accomplish those goals? What specifically will you need to do in your lives and the life of your child so at the end of the day they will be those children you want them to be? Are you winning or losing?

Bliss' room, so far!

Her room so far.

So here is the nursery so far. We still need to paint the trim and her door white and the inside of her closet since the walls are so marked up. But we are getting excited for her to be in there.

Baby Girl

We get to see baby girl today! I love getting the chances to see her move, breathe, watch her heartbeat. Each time I see her I get more and more excited and ready to ditch the black and white image on the screen for a technicolor baby, I don't even care if she is screaming at me.

Tired.

The parents left this morning. Leaving behind two tired soon to be parents. However, we do love the chances we get to spend time with our parents. It doesnt happen as often as we would like so we pack everything into those times as we can. And as an added bonus my parents brought one of our nephews with them. See you all again in September....maybe.

Nursery, so far

Daddy working on baby girl's room!

We're looking forward to getting Bliss' room finished! Thank you Jonah for doing most of the work so far :)

Orange and Pink

I have finally finished mudding Bliss' room. If you have been to our house it is the pink room upstairs. We didn't paint the room that color. The previous owners did that. Last night I finally put on the primer. Which means hopefully next week I can get the room painted and have that project checked off my list. I will admit, I have never thought I would paint a room pink, that's right it is going to go from hot pink, to baby girl pink, with orange around the bottom half and pink around the top.
