The Making Of The Nursery

Ben had 12 days off for block leave. With no plans of traveling, so we took the opportunity to get a head start on the nursery. This room was originally "the office". The walls, as you can see in some of the pictures need some work. We don't plan on being in this house forever, so instead of making real repairs we just washed down the walls and slapped some paint on it. It's amazing what a can of paint can do. It only took us a couple days to have it cleaned, painted and painted again. Casey helped out a ton with the painting and had us laughing the whole time.

There are a few more touches we will be adding on soon and of course we will be sharing those with you all!

C'mon, 7 Bucks Babe

While home in Maine my mom, sisters and nieces threw me a beautiful baby shower. At that point we were still unsure if Cash would want pink bows or a blue sox hat, so no baby clothes were passed around at this shower. Instead they all went in on a generous gift card to babies r us so we could buy a stroller.

Ben and I checked out the babies r us here. I made a quick call to my sister Gina for some stroller tips. (Thanks Geen!) We found the one we wanted almost immediately, a grey and green jogger. We decided to take a look around and see if there was anything else that caught our eye. With zero experience baby shopping, I didn't see anything I really had to have. Ben on the other hand spotted a blue sippycup that him and cash couldn't live without. Cash will not need a sippycup for quite some time, not to mention the cup said "babe magnet" on the side of it. I tried talking him out of it, but he followed me up and down every isle saying "c'mon, it's 7 bucks babe" over and over and over again until we reached the checkout line where he slid the cup towards the cashier. Ben and Cash got their way this time.

Thank you all so much for the shower that you all really didn't have the extra time for and the gift. I love you all.
