Week 26 - Still Painting...

 

Baby Charlotte is the size of a head of lettuce this week!  My lower back pain is starting back up so I went to the chiropractor three times last week which seemed to help.  Night time is usually when I feel my worst and just want to lay down which also feels better.  My belly feels like it the size of a large beach ball although I know it does not look like it yet and I know I have a long way to go.  No stretch marks as of yet as I am actively putting the "Mama Bee" butter on every time I get out of the shower. The weather has been so nice here lately...low to mid 80's...it has been nice to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.

 

Dave and I are still painting as we get ready for new carpet that will go in next Monday.  We have finished the nursery (just a few touch-up spots) and have moved on to the new guest bedroom across the hallway.  I can't seem to find a before picture but this room we called "The Blue Room".  Big thick stripes of navy blue at the top and even the ceiling was a shade of darker blue.  We had to do two coats of primer on the ceiling and then two coats of ceiling paint to cover it all up.  We finished up the first coat of the new tan color and here is the result:

 

 

 

I think it looks 100 times better...if you were able to see this room in person you know what I'm talking about.  We have one coat left to do tonight and then I will paint the trim of Friday.  I am just about to be too big in the belly area for painting the low areas and especially the trim on Friday will be not fun so I am glad we have gotten this part done and out of the way before I am too big to help.
