I had to work on Tuesday till 1:30 and Justin had off. He enjoyed his day off free of me. When I got home we discussed our plans and I went and got some last minute Christmas shopping finished up. We had a pretty lazy Tuesday but Wednesday and Thursday were a whirlwind.
Wednesday we got up and got busy! The Cokers came over to help us and we couldn’t have done it without them. We emptied the nursery!!! I was one happy mommy just to get the stuff out of the room. The room is a lot bigger than I realized. Not to mention we had so much stuff in there it made it feel even smaller. We loaded up the truck with a load to the dump & a load to his parents house at the lake. We dropped the stuff off at the dump and headed to the lake. I’m glad we went because his parents are on a cruise for Christmas so it was nice to see them one last time before Christmas and wish them well and a happy vacation! We dropped off the stuff, chatted for a little while then headed back to College Station where we crashed for the night. Here are some pictures of the nursery before:
Yikes: The photo below is when the nursery looked the worst. It used to be my photography room with couch, desk, tv, coffee table. But once we knew it was becoming the nursery we just started throwing everything in there that was something we needed to go through. YIKES! 
Progress being made…the boxes and bags in the corner are all baby stuff
Thursday was another busy busy day! We got up and made a plan for our day. I went and finished Christmas shopping while Justin went to Lowes and got the paint. By the time I got home from shopping he was already painting. We went with “Simply Gray” as the new wall color. I love love love it!! It will look so great with the bedding we ordered. 
This is what I did while Justin painted. I was his biggest cheerleader. (both literally and figuratively). Once I ate I offered to help but he was too scared I would “mess it up” to let me help so he painted all by himself. I would go in there every now and then and lay on the floor and talk to him so he wouldn’t be alone. He is a wonderful painter…now what else do I want painted in the house??? : )
After the paint had dried for the most part we moved the dresser back in the room and then we decided why not just finish the furniture and put together the crib. It was not difficult to put together and we were finished in about an hour. I love the way the color of the wood looks with the wall color. Now I just have to decide where I want the crib & dresser. We put it where I “think” I want it but I’m not 100% sure yet. Might switch them around, might move everything into different places. Who knows?! I’m sure it will move 100 times before he gets here.
It was a crazy two days and we got a lot done before leaving for Kingwood for Christmas celebrations.
