Jackson's Room

OK, so Jacky, boy...here's what we've accomplished the last week or so... We decided to two-tone paint your room, separated by a moulding. Just like in the picture for your bedding. We think we did a decent job. Check it out!

First we had to start by taping off the wall at the height we wanted to paint:

Then we painted...duh...haha...nice that it was only half the room.

A Section Painted
Then we hung the moulding and filled in the nail holes. Then we just let it sit for a week...

Molding up and Filled Nail Holes
So, this weekend we were able to finish it all up and brought up your furniture, like your changing table/low dreseser.

And we assembled your crib. Your big-sister Summer helped, too! Although she seemed more interested in eating the screws than really helping, HAH!

And the last piece of furniture we got for you was this tall dresser.

Now, all we need is a rocking chair, to hang your wall hangings, wash your bedding and, of course, get you OUTTA Mommy's belly!

We hear that may be sooner than we thought, as our neighbors Jim and Cheryl mentioned that at this high altitude babies can have a tendency to be born early...Don't follow the trend though, Buddy. Just you stay in there and cook up good! :-) See you in NOVEMBER!!!!!

More Belly

Hey all, it's been quite a while...sorry Jackson...we're not ignoring you, we're just busy putting the house together. Today we plan on going and getting some paint samples and some molding to separate your room so we can paint the lower half. Your furniture showed up in the garage yesterday, so we'll put up some pics of your room, before, during the painting and after a bit later...but today, we just wanted to put up two pics of you hanging out inside Mommy's belly.

This first one is from July 23rd, about 23 weeks along.

Taken July 23rd
This second one is only one month later, at 27 weeks, taken on August 25th. You can tell Jackson has grown and is taking up more room.

Taken August 25th
And just this morning, September 2nd, Jackson was kicking and I was able to feel you, buddy! Yay! The more you move, the more Mommy feels better that you're doing OK, so keep moving and we'll see you SOON!!!
