Nursery Almost Complete & A Sweet Name


We did it! We finally came up with a full name for Colton...............Colton Joshua Gregory! I love how we incorporated my husband's first name. Josh and I were texting back and fourth yesterday. I told him that I really wanted us to figure a middle name out. We really liked Joshua, Jackson, Adam and James. I started thinking about it and decided that it would be so much sweeter if we could incorporate either Josh's first or middle name. I sent Josh another text and said, "So is it going to be Colton Joshua Gregory?" and he responded and said "YES!". I was so excited to finally have a full name. Let the monogramming begin!

On Thursday I went to the One Week Boutique. This is a huge consignment sale that is held every March and October. I did not find any furniture but I did find a wonderful Simmons mattress for Colton and lots of precious baby clothes! I even found the outfit we will have Colton wear for his baby pictures.

Josh and I had a very productive weekend. We purchased the carpet for the extra bedroom we added on to our house and Josh installed it. He is so smart and great at anything he sets his mind to. While he was installing the carpet I was out shopping for baby things. I ended up finding just about everything I had on my to do list except a rocker/glider chair. I cannot decide if I want one that is all upholstered or just a glider chair with wood trim.

After shopping all day I was exhausted so Sunday morning we started setting everything up. Josh put together the crib and dresser. He also helped me put together the bouncer/rocker chair for Colton. I put the mobile for his crib together all by myself and was so proud! I also organized all his clothes in size order, put the bedding in the crib and hung some pictures on the wall. I still have to paint the wooden letters of his name that i purchased at Joann's and hang those as well. At this point we are pretty much set. All we really need is a rocker/glider chair. My Mother-n-law and Father-n-law came over last night to check everything out and they told us that they were surprised at how prepared we are. It is such a relief to know we are so prepared.
