Justin here. This whole pregnancy thing has seemed very abstract to me. For instance, Kristin was pregnant, but didn't look pregnant. Then, she could feel the baby kick before I could feel. Another example: we registered at Babies-R-Us and I didn't know what any of this stuff was for. Clueless first-time dad, I guess.
However, I said from the beginning that I wanted to paint the nursery. That's one thing I feel like I have some control. I am pleased to report that after two days, the nursery is painted. I made a few boo-boos (a little paint on the ceiling never hurt anyone, right?), but for the most part, it went pretty smoothly. I took substantially longer than I expected due to the fact we have vaulted ceilings in the baby's room and three separate windows to tape around. So, shoddy painting not withstanding, the room looks great. We're very pleased with the color. Oscar's a little concerned about why he isn't allowed in the room this weekend and what that funky smell is, but he should be allowed back in soon.
Furniture is scheduled to arrive some time in February, so I'll post some pictures once we get the room completely set-up. I'm having shoulder surgery this week, so all of my projects are now officially on-hold until the New Year. TTFN.

Good luck with your surgery Justin!!
