Hubby is DETERMINED she'll keep the baby in her room with her... I am DETERMINED the baby needs a nursery all their own. So guess who's going to be painintg a nursery while someone else is at work? Once its done, what can he say?

As for knowing whether its a boy or girl? We will not know until it comes screaming into the world. We apparently missed the window by a week or so. The baby is now too big and scrunched up. Right now, the names she's thinking of are some real winners and I told her to get a little more traditional because everything she's picking out is REALLY trendy and sounds as if a teenager named the baby (which is what she is) but you don't want to do that because he/she is going to have that name for life and she won't always BE a teenager.

Fun! I am in the same process. Jeremy's room is partly painted...Rob will have to do the rest, b/c I get too many Braxton Hicks Contractions and need to rest. HIs room is a baby blue on the bottem half of the walls, and has 2 inch pale yellow stripes painted over the blue...we will do a white chair rail and the top will remain white...our theme is pretty much pale blue, yellow and white w/stars. When it is finished I will post pics. We have a white crib and dresser,the valance is blue and white stars and the curtains are a pale yellow and white stripe. Can't wait for it to be done!!

Can't wait to hear names too!!
