To Paint, or not to Paint? That is the Question....
So, hubby and I have been keeping the roads hot all week trying to get things in order for the house. This afternoon when he gets home we are going back to Lowe's (surprise) to grab a gazillion paint and carpet samples. Hubby informs me he wants a decision made sometime this weekend. The pressure is on! I feel like this space is becoming more about home improvement than a blog about TTC. But bear with me, it will get relevant in a second.
So, I am still debating on whether to paint the nursery, and if so, what color. Before we got going on this whole painting endeavor I had intended to leave the room as is (a tanish color). Well, then I think, should I just leave it and not bother repainting at all right now? Why am I in such a rush? If I decide to hold off on the painting it's not like I will have missed my chance, since that room is not going to be used for anything else. I keep telling myself it's just a little paint and that positive feelings are good, but what if I'm just setting myself up for heartache? I think I am over-thinking it, as I'm pretty sure I will go ahead and paint the room regardless. I have already made up my mind, already became too invested.
I posted on FB last night asking if people knew of any gender-neutral colors. One girl replied saying, "most people wait until they know the gender before decorating." Okay, first of all, I am not MOST people. Secondly, did you miss the part where I said I am NOT pregnant? Obviously. And of course it's easy for her to be so nonchalant about it, she has two beautiful children. I swear, some people can be so insensitive. Oh well, it's my fault. When seeking people's opinions there is always a risk that something will be said you don't like.
We missed the nosy neighbor yesterday. Hopefully we can dodge her again...

We Interrupt This Regularly Scheduled Blog to Bring You a Special Announcement....
No, not that announcement...yet. But I do have good news. We are closing on our house today! That's right, after weeks of waiting it is finally happening! We will do a final walk-through at 11am, then meet at the realtor's office at 1pm to sign the final papers and get the keys! I can't believe this is actually happening! I didn't get much sleep last night but I don't even care because this day is going to be totally worth it! Best. Friday. Eveeeeer. I think the last time I was this excited was my wedding day. This is the biggest thing we have done in our adult lives thus far. The first being the day we got married, and I can imagine the next one will be when we witness the birth of our child. It's funny how owning a home and paying a mortgage every month can suddenly make one feel so adult-like. Two milestones down, one more to go! I can't believe we are about to be homeowners. AAAAAHHHHH!!!
