The Baby's Room




We finally finished the baby’s room. Grandma Klein, Uncle Bud, Amanda, and Ricky came up to help us paint the room. Ricky was amazing at tracing the images onto the wall. We put the images on a transparency and then used an overhead projector to trace the images. The process was smoother than I thought it would be. After all the images were traced, each was in charge of painting a certain character. After all the painting was done, we even put together the crib to the pregnancy more real!!

For those who did not know we are not finding out the sex of the baby. That is why we chose the Dr. Seuss theme. Mere is a big fan of the books and we thought the theme was very gender neutral.

Our baby showers are coming up soon and we are very excited. The first one is in Columbus and my Aunt Michelle, Aunt Jenny, and Grandma Beavers are throwing it for us. We are very appreciated of them doing this for us because I know they are busy. The weekend after that is the shower in Akron. Jessica and all of Mere’s family is throwing that one for us. If it is anything like our wedding shower in Akron, it will be kind of big. I just hope someone gives us wisdom how to be parents because with 7 weeks left, it is starting to freak us out a little! But I guess that is the best part of becoming new parents, that 99% scared and 1% exciting feeling.
