THE Room

I know that we have a long time still until this little boy gets here, but his room is mostly done. This particular room was painted last year during my spring break. The pictures don't show it very well, but the top half is tan and the bottom half is a chocolate brown color. I chose these a long time ago because I figured that whether we had a boy or a girl I could decorate with lots of blue or lots of pink.

I picked out this baby bedding and stalked the internet watching the shipping progress until it came in. I was very particular of the actual shade of blue, because I had the room in mind. Anything too dark wouldn't have looked good. I searched everywhere, and found this pattern with the turtles. I loved it right away. The second I showed it to Trevor he was like, "Okay, Cliff!" You see my cousin Cliff loves turtles and has always raised them since he was little so Trevor had to give me a hard time about picking the turtle pattern out. Trevor swears he remembers going over to Cliff's house when they were little and Cliff wanting to show he and the others with them his turtles. Of course, all Trevor was thinking was, "Umm...can't we just play basketball or something?" Seriously one track mind.....

On the wall above the bed we put our little guy's name, but on the other wall I have big plans. I took some plain white frames and covered the matting that goes inside with cute blue papers. I plan on taking pictures of Brody Jay and his hand, feet, etc. once he gets here, and then blowing them to 8x10 size black and white OR sepia toned pictures. I think they should turn out pretty cool. But I also want to write in white vinyl letters (Jaymi, I need to get in touch with you about that.....) Lead Me, Guide me, (above the pictures) Walk beside Me (below pictures). I can't wait to get it all done!I keep thinking of other things I might add, but for now that's what we have started. I really am so excited about having this BOY. I thought I wanted a girl, but I really can't tell you how thrilled I am about this little guy coming. Hopefully the doctors got it right.....I don't think there was much doubt, but at this point I don't know what I would do if they got it wrong.
