Okay, maybe I'm not, but the spare room/nursery certainly is. Don't get too excited, it only has one mostly complete coat, but it is definitely blue! A brighter blue than we thought it would be, in fact it looks remarkably like the background to super mario bros. So, if you wanted to see, just go look at videos of game and the background pretty much hits the nail on the head. :D
Tom is still deciding if he can stand it. I'm still deciding if we should just go with it or change it to something we actually love instead of something that will work. I also wonder how it will look once there is actually stuff on the walls and in the room. Not to mention blinds/curtains on the window!! If I had my guess, we would leave it as is, paint the second coat and that once everything is in there and decorated, we'll love it. We need to trust the process (not unlike the adoption process as a whole).
I got the call from the doctor and my health screening form is finally complete! YAY. Now, I just need a TB test and we should be completed with phase 2. Hopefully after that, it won't be too much longer until we meet our case worker and get the home inspection started.
I think all of this change and process on top of Tom's crazy work/school schedule is beginning to take a toll. Poor hubby is exhausted and I can hardly wait for school to be over in three weeks. 14+ hour days is just too much. It probably doesn't help that I'm at 3/4 speed ahead. But we're getting through it.
He actually suggested we go look at cribs and other baby stuff this weekend. We must of spent 3 hours between Target and Babys 'R' Us looking at cribs and strollers and pack'n'plays and changing tables and on and on and on. We were able to find a stroller we really liked and a crib we really liked (remarkably cheaper through their website than at the store). We are waiting until August to buy anything, but it was nice looking and seeing that in general we agree on the bigger ticket items.
I was even tempted by their glide rockers. Oh my goodness. I had always just assumed I'd take my mom's old rocker, but after sitting in the padded, comfortable gliders, I think I may have changed my mind. For how many hours I expect we'll sit in those with the baby, the investment seems quite worthwhile. But we'll see, it is still a ways off. I think it will depend on how good a deal we can get on the rest of the necessities!
We also have our scuba trip in just a few short months. Man, I remember when 3 months seemed like forever, but seriously, it is already July. September will be here in the blink of an eye! I've started reading my chapters from the PADI book and need to get Tom to do the same. This is not light reading material, I'm just hoping my brain can retain it all with everything else crammed up in there!
Another day closer to when we will have our own tiny human and I can hardly wait.
