Baby blues

I think I have the colors picked. I bought a white blanket with blue and brown dots and my husband took it to Home Depot to match the colors with paint. They have this great tool that scans the material and matched the colors perfectly! I am still deciding between two browns, but if I was brutally honest with myself, they are so similar that it really doesn't matter which one we pick. They are Behr colors and you can actually go on their website and "paint" a virtual room, to see how the colors would go together. It's actually a really fun tool. http://www.behr.com/colorsmart4/colorsmart/main.jsp

Here are the colors:








The first one has an earthier brown, and the second has more beige to it. You see it, right? Let me know which one you like better. I like number one, myself. I think.

There is so much to do to get ready for Nathan's arrival. It's kind of exhausting, and I am not even the one doing the work! Today the hubby is finishing up the new playroom so we can move all the toys out of the old playroom, and get started painting the nursery. It's really nice knowing that the babies gender. Four years ago, when we were getting ready for baby #1, we didn't know, and we picked a Finding Nemo theme. It was really cute and all, but if I was really honest with myself, I would have loved to do pinks and purples for Hailey's room. I was so excited when we finally gave her a princess room in our new house for her third birthday. The blue and brown that we picked for Nathan's room should eventually transfer nicely into a little boy theme.  I'll be sure to post up some pictures when it is all complete.
