Nursery is ready and waiting...

 Finally got to those curtains I needed to stitch for the nursery

christened my christmas gift (new Brother sewing machine)

and got them done :)

 Grant putting them up...

 A lot of visual stimulation...

love it!

 The crib and sleeper is ready...

 We mounted some shelves to hold diaper changing accessories

Here is the daiper changing station on the dresser we painted :)

the drawers have all the little onesies and what not...

 Also got some shelves up for her books

and the closet is all stocked!

 

 And last but not the least a comfy feeding spot :)

 Still a few things like pictures and hooks to hang

but it is basically done

We are due in a week

but turns out, the baby is not ready to come yet!

So we will just have to wait a lil longer :/

Baby stuff...

Ekkkkk! only 2 weeks to go...

We were thrown a baby shower last week at work

got a lot of nice cute baby stuff

 

  below is Miki stalking the balloons :)

all the presents...lots of necessities :) and more clothes!!! :D

Then of course it was time to order everything else we had left on our list

so spent an evening ordering everything and will be getting everything

 at the front door by next week :)

We love shopping online! Can't wait for all the stuff to arrive :)

   

Will post pics of the Nursery soon too :)

Busy busy busy!

Ok so its been a while since I last posted

we have been busy trying to get things done around the house

time is really precious and every evening is another project to complete

we will feel like we are in heaven once we are done

we won't be completely done with all the projects we want to do anytime soon

but the ones we have deemed important will get done :)

Like the Master Bathroom...

that's right as I type this Grant is putting the finishing touches

will have pics to post really sooooon!

 Here is just a phone pic of Grant grouting the tiles

The Master Bedroom....

the room and trim has been painted, the closet is done,

the bed has been selected, I have a really nice vanity

now we just have to figure out the mattress

but I think we are going to wait till after the baby comes

just so that I can make a fair decision :)

other stuff like drapes and rugs will be bought at a later time as well

The Laundry room...

making progress on that room too

although the first floor is our priority right now

once the upstairs is done we can concentrate on this room

The Nursery...

My coworkers just had a baby shower for us

and we got a lot of cute little stuff :)

will have to post a whole another blog on that :)

Shopping for the baby

We have been busy shopping (aka ordering online

takes a lot less time and effort)...we luv it!

We got the crib...

 Here is Miki assisting Grant with putting the crib together...

 

 TADA...all done! the nursery is coming together as well

will post more pics next time

As you can imagine we have been opening up a lot of boxes...

 

yaaay our cloth diapers are here...that's right we have decided to go with cloth diapers

just love all the colors!

 More baby stuff...

 Check out the cute diaper pail :)

 

 More sheets, burp cloths, swaddlers, rocker, changing pad etc...

 We are all set just a few more things on our list :)

Paint colors

Today I ordered color samples for the Master bathroom and bedroom :)

Here they are...

We will be deciding between these two colors for the bedroom...

 

And then between these two colors for the master bath...

  

Then we had to select colors for a wall treatment in the Nursery
we put up samples of the different colors we were thinking of
Right now the white, black, hot pink and lime colors stand out against the grey wall color
so will be picking colors from those :)

 
What do you think???

Dresser is done!

Sneak peek! 

the dresser looks awesome all girly and cute

finally done painting it...

That's right we decided to go with lilac for some more color

and how can we have stripes with no polka dots :)

Can't wait to see what it looks like in the nursery.

All mine!

Remember that rocker/reclining lazy boy that we selected a while back

finally went and picked them up yesterday

that's right they were on sale soooo

now I have two, 

a place to relax on the first level of the house and one for the nursery :)

Below is Grant trying them out

we bought one in each of the colors below

Right now they are still sitting in my car

while we continue with our tiling

will post pics once we have them set-up

Stroller & Dresser

We finally ordered the stroller/car seat

here is Grant unpacking it...

 Boxes in boxes...

 We decided to go with a Kiwi green!

 The cats checking out the new addition...

 TADA....love the color!

 Miki decided he found a spot for himself :)

 He stayed there while Grant took it for a stroll around the house

 Here is the cool matching car seat to go with it

 Sweet all put together...

 On another subject the dresser is soooo close to done

Remember the blue flowery contact paper in the drawers

well it's all gone

in all 10 drawers...

 We bought some cool green contact paper

and cut it all to size

 TADA... they are all clean and neat now :)

ready for all the homeless baby clothes
