Camryn's new room is finally finished. We managed to keep it a secret until it was completely done. The last time she saw it, Chris had just started to put the pink on the walls. She was so excited since she requested pink. She saw her new furniture in the store when we ordered it, but she had no idea when it was delivered. She kept asking when her room was going to be ready and we told her that daddy was still working hard on it and her new bed had to come. Finally, Chris finished the painting last week, so we went shopping for bedding on Friday night. We had no idea what we wanted, but we took along the paint swatches and hoped for the best. We ended up finding a cute quilt set with matching wall decorations that matched the paint. Camryn liked the flowers and butterflies on the bedding, so we went for it. That night, we put her to bed in her old room and got to work putting the finishing touches in her new room. We stayed up late washing the bedding and putting the flowers and butterflies up. Then, Saturday morning, Camryn and I went to Gymboree without daddy while he moved the la
st piece of unwanted furniture out of there. When we got home, it was ready for the big reveal. She went upstairs looking for daddy and I told her to open the door into her new room and she walked in. Her face was priceless. She said, "mommy, look!!!" while she pointed to everything. It was adorable. She immediately tried to climb up on her bed and looked at all of the flowers and butterflies on the walls. Then, she moved to her "reading corner" to read a book. After that, she skipped around the room saying "lots of room!!!!" She loved it! She played in there for a while and when it was time to get some lunch, she said, "Mommy, leave my room painted!!!" I guess that was her stamp of approval. She took a long nap in there that afternoon and we didn't hear a peep from her at all that night. It is just funny to see her tiny little body curled up in such a large bed. It is a good thing we have another baby coming because she is certainly not our baby anymore.
Our other excitement this weekend (at least for me) was Mother's Day. I got to sleep in and Camryn gave me my wonderful cards when I got up. She was so excited about the cards (and the present she made me at school) - it was so cute. We planned on going to lunch, but first, we had to take our annual Mother's Day pictures. I have asked Chris to take a picture of us since our first MD together and it is now part of my "gift". We got some cute ones in the park across the street and we went to lunch. After that, Chris finally found the gift he had been looking for all week (the one from Camryn) - a digital picture keychain. But, my real present is tomorrow after school. I am taking a trip to the spa for my pregnancy massage and I can't wait!!! I had one when I was pregnant with Camryn and it was pure heaven. I am at the point now where I am getting really uncomfortable, so it is much needed. There is absolutely nothing like being pampered!!!!
