Yesterday Michelle and I went to work at finishing up the paint in the nursery. she has been home from college for just over a week and we REALLY want to get the house settled. What was her room will now be primarily Matt's room. she will only be home two - three months in the summer and a month at Christmas. and a week here or there. the rest of the time she will be at college. so it wont be a HUGE imposition on either of them. While Matt is a newborn he will (of course) be in our room since he will need a lot of care. then by the time she comes home from college at Christmas, he will be 6 months old and sleeping through the night, at least for the most part.
So in order for us to get her unpacked for the summer it was a big deal to get this last step finished so we can have all of the furniture moved back to where it belongs, and really give her a sense of "home".
Michelle chose to do the underwater scene for Matt herself. This part of the room will be covered by her dresser. we both felt that was really nice as we are planning on leaving this paint up for a number of years past when she will be permanently moving out. After all by the time she finishes college Matt wont even be 4 yet. so when she leaves she will be taking her dresser as well. so a nice "new" scene painted by the "big sister" just for Matt may make that transition a little less difficult or at least cool.
I think she did a wonderful Job!
baby wellness update..
at our last checkup, Matt's heart was rarely skipping beats and no fast beats were found. we were sent home to wait for two weeks unless we deliver before then. :)

Really cute "fishies", something that both of you can be very proud of. Wish we had gotten up to have seen the finished product. Should have had tornado warning sooner'!!
