nursery musings

a few years ago mil got this cute little rocker for brian, as a gift for the future grandbaby:


brian just adores baseball and the san francisco giants and has all his life. he has always been and always will be a giants fan. (i even incorporated baseballs into our wedding.) so he was thrilled with this little rocker. it sat in mil's basement for a couple years, in it's shipping box, because we did not have the space for it nor a little one. since we purchased our home this summer, it has moved up here with us and lives in the museum - brian's office which also doubles as a display room for all his baseball memorabilia, including that from his playing years. when the rocker was purchased i suggested we could create a gentle, peachy, giants-themed nursery around the rocker when we had a baby. in the meantime it complements the museum nicely.

now brian wants to get started on the nursery. as in, now, let's paint this weekend.

keep in mind that i am only 15 weeks along.

keep in mind also that the nursery will displace my sewing room, which i use almost daily and have longed for since practically the beginning of time. once the sewing room is converted to a nursery, the sewing room will [somewhat inconveniently] share space with the guest room. displacing the museum is apparently not an option to my dear husband.

am i nuts, or does he want to get going on this just a tad bit too early? i told him we didn't need to start on the nursery until the beginning of april. spot is due may 12 and could well be late. that gives us 6 weeks, at least, to prep and paint and build furniture and shop and decorate and move my entire sewing life downstairs.

we are at: 15 weeks 1 day.
