Tomorrow, Kathy will hit her 35th week with our new little girl. And we now consider ourselves at the finish line of the Great Dash of Summer 2010 to transform my man cave into a princess den. These pictures don't really do the paint justice. If you were to be blindfolded and brought straight to a wall with it five inches from your face it would probably just look white, or maybe some sort of off-white. And in two of these pictures the camera flash sort of blows out the picture and makes it look uniform. But, in the picture that has the window in the center of the frame, dresser on the left and crib on the right, you can tell a little better the difference between the paint and the true white of the door and shutter. Against a white it's more of a very soft earth-tone, maybe even a slight peachy-pink tone to it. Ladybugs, dragonflies and flowers are what's sprinkled around a little of everything.
The crib is Kole's, which was also his cousins' Riley and Reagan's. So is the changing table. The dresser was a CraigsList purchase. The bassinet, which also is seen in the second picture with the window in the middle, was also used by Kole and originally was Kathy's as a newborn. If we pulled up the white lacy thing you could see how it does truly look like something from the 1970s, but really does not show a lot of age. It is wood and wicker and is on rollers - it's greatest attribute. It freely rolls around from room to room, which quickly allowed us to to develop a routine with Kole when he was a newborn infant. The only way for one of us to get overnight sleep was after a feeding to roll it into a the bedroom of one, then to go to sleep in another room. That person would hopefully be asleep, only to be awaken by the baby later on when the other was hopfully asleep. We'll see how agreeable this one is, and hopefully free of cholic.
But, everything is in place now. We have about four or five weeks to go. But if anything should happen in the meantime, we are ready.
