Nursery

It's been a whole month since this blog has seen a post, so I thought I might get the ball rolling again. Robert, how's the Cobra coming along? Justice and Wendy P., I'm really enjoying reading your blogs. Stan, when are you going to write in about your new roommate? Wendy A., I KNOW you have a funny story or two to tell!

I'm still baking that bun in the oven. She's growing quickly and loves kicking, rolling around, and getting the hiccups just about the time I want to go to sleep. I still can't believe in 3 months, Bryon and I will be parents. Scary thought!

I've been feeling great, minus the heartburn. Bryon on the other hand has suffered the side effects of pregnancy quite a bit. Apparently, my snoring keeps him up at night. Nothing says "I love you" more than a box of Breath Right nasal strips for Valentines Day! Also, my nesting interrupts his video games and drives him crazy. Lucky for him, I've run out of closets to empty!

The nursery is 75% finished. We've turned our dark green study into a pastel rainbow of girly-ness! Painting took me almost two weeks, as I just worked on it in the evenings after work. Bryon helped some, and Mom was a huge help getting the ceiling done. That ceiling is mom and my favorite part since it was so much work! Here is a before picture:




















Here is a few most recent "During" pictures. I'm waiting for the paint to completely cure before adhering the tree/birds/leaves to the wall, so ignore the white backing paper. It will be coming off!






I look forward to more Poling family updates and am warning all of you in advance of the baby blogs you will be seeing. You know how obsessed new mothers can be!
