One of my favorite things I do on this blog are my posts called “Friday Morning Coffee.” I feel like I’m sitting with friends and just chatting with them. I hope you feel that, too. Because you are my friends, I’m serious.
Well, the past few Fridays and the next few Fridays, I have appointments with my chiropractor, so Friday Morning Coffee posts are becoming a little tricky. Because, you know, I’m not home.
So, today is Saturday and here I sit with a cup of coffee, brewed and delivered to my couch by my wonderful husband. It’s actually 11:31 in the morning, so it’s barely morning but I woke up at 9:54 today, so it’s MY morning. The kids stayed at Grandma’s last night so my sleeping in was brought to you by Grandma & Grandpa.
Last night, my parents came over to help us paint a bedroom. Not the nursery (yet…soon…SO SOON) but Noah’s room. For his birthday he asked for his room to be painted green. We just moved into this house 18 months ago and when we moved we attempted to paint his room green but when I painted a swatch on the wall it was the most disturbing color of green I had ever seen. So disturbing that I considered lobbying to congress to have the color removed from all color wheels everywhere.
So, rather than paint his room that color, we painted his room blue. He was kind of upset but he’s Noah so he was equally passive about it. However, many times he mentioned wanting a green room. So, for his birthday this year, we bought him a can of paint. Seriously, it was wrapped and everything.
Last night, the kids stayed at Grandma’s so my parents came over and helped Brian and I paint Noah’s room green. We knocked it out in like two and half hours, no lie and it looks perfect. (we also ordered Mexican take out and that was perfection, too.) (I switched to Sherwin Williams paint and it covered Noah’s dark-ish blue room in one coat and hardly a touch up. I will never buy paint from anywhere else again. Also? The paint was $30, also? We have a lot of paint leftover and also? They did not ask me to write about their paint.)
{isn’t it interesting the way it looks like two different greens?} {it’s not.}
Anyway, they will be home tonight and he is going to be so surprised to see his beautiful errr…I mean, handsome green room! And Anna, well, we don’t want her to feel left out, so I bought her the most beautiful pink blanket you have ever seen. Her room is the coldest room in the house and little girl is always cold at night, so, this blanket, she will love.
But before they get home, Brian and I are going on a lunch date WITH DESSERT, we are shopping for nursing bras and nursing and name books and maybe slip on shoes because my belly is the size of your Thanksgiving turkey and bending over is well, sweaty. And next weekend? We are painting the baby’s room, because friends? Today? I am 31 weeks. OH MY GOD.
I love 31 weeks. (We had an ultrasound on Wednesday, according to measurements taken, our little nameless baby weighed in at 3 pounds 14 ounces, just slightly bigger than your average baby!)
