As mentioned before we painted the nursery. Sadly it did not turn out well at all! For the first time the paint job was amazing (because we had it done professionally) but the color is absolutely horrible! I had chosen a light lime green color that matched the bedding perfectly- unfortunately this green color is so bright that Nick said Addi will actually need to wear her sunglasses just to go to sleep! Our joke is that she will never need a night light because the paint is so neon! So now we are back to square 1 -minus the money we spent on Salvano our painter.
Our concept now is to paint the top half of the room a very pale pink and then the bottom half a not neon green with a chair rail in between. This is our project for the weekend so please wish us luck. I just dont think I can paint the room a 3rd time! In fact, I know Nick will not let me! :)
On Friday one of my dearest friends Claire came to visit and stay since her and her boyfriend Greg were going to the game on Sat. It was so good to catch up and laugh with them- it has been way too long! We had a great dinner with them and the Nesbitts - cant wait to see her again in a few weeks for my shower!
On Saturday Nick and I attended our first and only 6 hour Prepared Childbirth class. There were about 10 couples all together - one of which we found out lives in our neighborhood! It was nice because we all had the same worries and were able to learn from one another. Pretty much the class went over the stages of labor and when to do things as well as exercises that will help with the pain and discomfort and then gave us a tour of where we will be the day of (which was a huge help)! Nick was a trooper I have to say- he is going to be a huge help when our day comes to help keep me calm and focused. We both just wish it next week!
Sunday was Fair Day! We went with the Stahlers and had a blast! I just love going to things like the fair and getting to see it through little Sadies eyes. Everything is so much more intense and exciting for them. Kay and I were pretty funny walking around the fair with our big bellies munching on just about everything! Sadly it was the fountain Diet Cokes that topped the day off for us not like the Bud Light for the guys. I still have some fair food regrets though - wish I had tried the fried cookie dough and maybe even the fried smores- oh well it will have to wait till next year.
Hope everyone else had a great weekend! Oh and by the way Boomer Sooner - it feels good to win again in Dallas! Sorry Texas :)
