Murphy's law

Last Sunday was Caleb's family baby shower for Gaven and I. Well 3:30am Sunday, we get a phone call from Caleb's mom telling us his sister Kelly is going to have an emergency c-section. Now it's murphy's law because Kelly was hosting the baby shower at her house along with my MIL. This is not the first time that SIL has delivered a baby on the day an event was to take place. Her oldest child was born on her Aunt Tina's wedding day, just fun tidbits. So I have a new nephew, Konnor Clark, 5lbs 13oz. He is still in the NICU in a different hospital than Kelly, because he is having some breathing trouble. Kelly is supposed to be released from the hospital today and going to see Konnor right away. I truly believe that once Konnor and Kelly are together he will start to get better. I can't imagine being born into this world and then not having any familar voices around. I keep praying for him. I can't wait to meet the little man. I'll keep everyone posted.

As for the baby shower, the show must go on. Since Kelly had a c-section, she won't be able to do much for awhile. So everything was ready and the house was cleaned. My MIL still had the shower. I got lots of nice things. We got a pac-n-play so now Gaven has a place to sleep if he arrives early. We also go a bouncer seat, high chair and more clothes. Lucky little guy. Gaven isn't even born and he is already so lucky to have so many that care about him.

The nursery is still not finished. Caleb has been busy with other projects now that the weather seems to have broke. I decided to start cleaning drawers and cabinets that are built in and washing baby clothes and put away. Trying to condence the amount of gifts just sitting on the floor. Hopefully Caleb will get things finished in the next week or so. I have my family baby shower April 18th. My grandmothers' gift to us is the crib. So I want the room completely finished so we can bring home the crib.

I guess that is all for now. Happy Spring!!!!

Update

We are still under construction at our home. The living room is painted and just needs the crown molding put up to finish. I really like having the room painted all one color and no more paneling. The paneling made the room seem so dark. We ended up using a mid-tone color on our walls. I am pleased. Now I have to look for some new curtains.

As for the nursery, the 1st coat of paint is on. The 2nd coat should be finished today. We are really liking the color. Caleb thinks its a nice calming color, I hope so. Caleb also has to put trim up in the nursery after the painting is finished. Then he has to paint the door frames for closet and the drawers & cupboard doors (the room has built in drawers & cupboard) and clean the hardwood floor. After all that is finished we will be ready to bring in furniture.

My 1st baby shower is Saturday and I can't wait. I'm so excited to finally have things to put in the nursery. I am really ready to start nesting, especially in the nursery.

Nursery under construction....

So Caleb and his buddy, Trevor, started to work on the nursery last weekend. They got the drywall hung and 2 coats of mud on the walls. They even hung drywall in our livingroom, since Caleb decided to do both rooms at once. They still need another coat of mud in a few spots then they can start the "wet" sanding, which they tell me that there will not be the dust from the sanding. I'm not convinced but we will see. I had asked Caleb to have the nursery done by my first baby shower, March 14th. Hopefully it will be finished. We finally agreed on a color for the livingroom. I'm a little nervous about how it is going to look but I'm hoping it turns out great. But before they can paint they need to texture plaster the walls and ceiling. I'll put up pictures when all is done.
