Painting the nursey

Andrew and I decided to paint the nursery this weekend! I was really excited to get started. Of course, Andrew had to research everything about painting before we even got started (for those of you who know my husband, you know this is something he does A LOT!). Once he decided that he knew everything there was to know about painting we went to Lowe's and picked up our painting supplies. An hour and a half later we finally got home and were able to get started!
Here is a picture of the room before we started
Andrew, having researched how to paint rooms decided we needed to clean the room before hand which meant wiping down all of the walls with soap and water. Which I normally wouldn't mind but it is a whole other story when you are pregnant! We finally got done cleaning and taped off the room with painters' tape then went straight to the primer (due to the walls being so dark). By the time we finished that I was pooped. Luckily Becca showed up and was able to take up the slack (thanks Becca!). After the primer dried we went on to paint the room. It turned out really well and we only had to go over the top of the room the next day and where we had peeled some of the painters' tape off. Today we went back with a razor blade and peeled off the tape at the very top. I think it looks really good if I do say so myself! But I could be a little partial. Here are some more pictures of us painting the room and the finished product.



Oh and here is a new belly picture of me from this week. I do have to say thought I am just getting bigger and bigger!
