In preparation for baby we have lots of projects to get done. My husband, Josh already built the much needed closet in the garage so we could get all the out of season coats out of the baby's room closet.

Josh finished building the drawers for under our bed and we got them installed so we have more room for our clothes.

Josh patched the hole in the front porch, but it still has to be sanded and painted. My wonderful mother in law is going to come up to help him paint since I shouldn't be around the fumes.

We need to build a sideboard for our entry room so we can get the board games out of the baby's dresser drawers.

Josh and I picked out our flooring for our kitchen and dining room finally (it only took us 5 months to decide). We have to rip up the linoleum and see how bad the sub floor is. We know we need to replace at least some of it if not all of it in our kitchen. Then we can start laying the hardwood. Hopefully before I get too big so I can help.

After all that is done then we can start to put the baby's room together. So far we have a rocker recliner in there and two dressers. They're hand-me-downs and they're white and pink so if we have a boy we'll have to repaint those. The walls are blue and we decided even if we have a girl we're not repainting. We'll just decorate really girly and it will be fine.

So much to do and time seems to be flying! It's only gonna get worse because my time at home to work on this stuff is so limited in the summer because of all the events we have with the station. Josh will end up doing most of it on his own, but I think he's okay with that.

Feeling a little overwhelmed maybe that's why I'm forgetting things.

Do you think it's okay to leave our baby's room blue even if we have a girl?
