Update on the B Room

It's been awhile since I've posted some photos of Brody's new room, but that doesn't mean lots hasn't been going on. We now have HVAC up there, and Kevin has finished the electrical which means lights, plugs, ceiling fan, all that good stuff. The room is all painted and we did end up putting a closet in the hallway outside Brody's room. So now Kevin is plugging away at the closet doors and trim, then we'll get the carpet relaid and we'll be ready to go.

I am so excited about this room - and so glad we're not down to the wire and still have nine weeks to go before the baby comes. It's nice not to feel manic and panicky about being "ready." And it's so fun to plan out Brody's room, which will be a sports theme. Both previous pregnancies I didn't really do much to get the babies' room ready since we didn't know what we were having. So this time around I am pouring all that nesting energy into Brody's room and having lots of fun with it. We found a great bargain on his bunk beds on CraigsList and he's all geared up for his "big boy bed." More updates to come...

View from the "big room" playroom, looking back toward the hallway where Brody's room is, and the new French door into the balcony of the main part of the house. Look at the new closet on the right - yay!

Looking into the new hallway from the balcony of the main house. New sconces on the wall match the ones on the balcony wall.


I had to take a picture even though it seems weird at first. Last week at the grocery store I let each of the kids pick out a box of tissues for their rooms - Sky has really wanted to have her own box of tissues in her room for some reason! :-) When we got home I sent them both upstairs to put their boxes in their rooms, and thought nothing of it. Late that night, after kissing the kids, Kevin & I did our nightly peek in at Brody's future room to admire Kevin's handiwork :-) and there was Brody's little box of tissues sitting right in the center of the floor. When I sent them up to put their tissues in "their rooms" he just automatically went to his new big boy room and set them down in there. Such a sweetie pie and it melted both of us.
