Paint samples…

Yes, at 30 weeks we’ve moved on to paint samples.  Nope, still no furniture yet, yep- still no rush!  I love that I’m not a big nester…  and that I’m not freaking out about things.  I doubt these do any sort of justice to the colors we are trying to choose.  These don’t really show the difference, but it’s a start.  The bottom half of the wall will be a brown/neutral color and the top half a blue.  What shade of each is the question:

1.  Light brown and light blue – looks ok here, but actually my least favorite choice on the wall.  Separating the two colors is a border that is an exact match to the colors.

 

2.  I think this is the light blue and darker brown  (my favorite)

3.  Dark blue and dark brown

I like the light blue and darker tan.  We’ll see what hubby says when he gets home.

Cribs and such…

Hopefully if all works out we will get the crib and two pieces ordered by the end of the month.  I’m waiting on a couple of things because I absolutely will not put things like this on credit of any kind.  I figure if I have to charge it, I’m only borrowing from my future.  Lord knows I don’t need to owe any more money to anyone else.  In the past 3 years, hubby and I paid off all MY credit card debt.  He married me knowing I owed 30K in credit cards.  Idiot me, I know.  I also had two student loans.  One at 50K and the other at 14K.  Go Pharmacy.  All the credit card debt is gone and now the 14K debt is gone.  All that is left is the 47K in student loans and house.  I hate debt.  It binds me down for sure… slave to the lender and all that jazz.  Hoping my son doesn’t make the same mistakes I did in college with BLOWING money.  Maybe he’ll take after his grandfather (my father) and be good with money.  Real good.

Trying to decide between a Munire set and another set that is TOO high in my opinion…  but it’s made SO well.  Going with a chicco travel system for carseat and stroller. 

Two baby showers are set – Feb 24 and April 5. 

We’re in the last trimester starting this week…  glad about it though because of our ages and places in life this may be our only child.  Our family may be complete with him.

Yes.  Still nameless.
