Visiting Daycares
Brent and I took off on Friday, Sept 2nd to go visit several daycare centers in Plano and Frisco. It was a little more exhausting than I was expecting but we think we have it narrowed down to 2 places. We are thinking about Primose or Willow Bend Center. We what to visit a Montessori school before we make our final decision.

Registering at Buy Buy Baby and Target
The morning of Saturday, Sept 3rd my Mom and I met Mindi at Buy Buy Baby at 9:30am to register for all the things our little Preston will need. I couldn't believe it took us 4 hours to get it all done. Mindi was such a trooper and helped me out tremendously. I definitely couldn't have done it with out her. She kept me grounded on the things that were important and helped me look past the things I just didn't need. Good thing I have such an awesome friend!! When we got done at Buy Buy Baby Mindi had to head out to get Logan so my Mom and I grabbed lunch at Chow Thai before tackling registering at Target. I got it all done and got a few gift bags from Buy Buy Baby and Target for registering with them!!

Painting the Nursery
Brent tackled a big project this weekend too...painting the nursery all by himself!! After a few discussions about the paint, we decided to go with Rhino of course and I'm so glad I did. I love that color and hopefully Preston will too. Brent did a great job of trimming and then rolling.
Good'ol daddy

Baby Bedding
So picking out the baby bedding was a fun adventure. I had been looking for quite a while for bedding I liked for a girl or boy since at the time we didn't know what we were having. I picked several things out for a girl and found this really cute whale design from Pottery Barn Kids I really liked for a boy. I was almost certain that was going to be the theme but when I got it all home, it didn't look very good with the Rhino paint color on the wall. So I was back to square one and luckily when we returned all the bedding back to Pottery Barn Kids, my eye caught a really cute baby blanket with a mom and baby elephant on it. It was light khaki color and cream and I knew that would go perfect with the wall color. So my mom bought it for me and when we got it home, it went perfectly. Now all I need to do is get the bed skirt and crib bumper made with the fabric we found at a fabric store.
This is the whale bedding I found and liked
This is what I finally decided on
This is the look and feel of the nursery...soft and calming
Baby Furniture
The following weekend, Brent and I went to Lonestar Baby to pick out Preston's furniture. I found 2 cribs I liked but ended up going with the one that matched the furniture in the rest of our house. Hope Preston likes it cause it will be his furniture for a good while!!
Preston's crib that converts to a toddler bed then a full-size bed
Preston's boy dresser
My glider but I got it in a light khaki color not the dark brown color
We are totally making progress and I can't wait till all the furniture gets here and we can really begin to set up the nursery!! I'm super excited!!
