"Nesting"

I heard from my wife about 'Nesting' early on in her pregnancy and thought this was a myth but....oh no guys...... as the weeks have quickly past-by I have seen that this is very much true. Trying to get the house ready from top to bottom hasn't been easy and especially when I had to go into hospital for a minor operation which has stopped me from being able to push on with getting the home ready.

We got the baby's furniture from IKEA and have to say they look really good all built. If you search around you can really make great savings from places like this. This is where my wife comes into a league of her own here, she is great at knowing when a price has dropped on items which we will need for the baby. Any time this happens in the future I'll get it blogged on here.

As we don't know the sex of our baby, we have gone for neutral colours of "Matt Chocolate" and a feature wall "Muddy Puddle" from the Dulux matt colour range.

We were going to get a stencil for over the crib with sheep jumping over fences but as I'm a Freelance animator/Illustrator I'm going to give this a go myself. In the coming days I'll put up pictures of how this all turns out.

We've been lucky to have family in the decorating trade and my brother-in-law got a lot of painting completed around the house. Which was a great wait of my mind. The house is now really taking shape and while I am getting stronger, I'll be able to get some of the other "nesting" projects 'ticked' of the list.

Now that the baby's room is coming along Zoe has been able to get all the baby clothes washed and put away in the wardrobe and drawers, which also helps with her "nesting".
