First let's start off with the fact that I am sewing machine challenged and yet decided on several brilliant sewing projects to make for Aiden. Well I struggled with the stupid bobbin all day and Kris told me to stop stressing and "he would take care of everything" when he got home from work. I said "yeah, okay, I'd love to see you sew..." Well, I had to eat my words. It may have taken him 2 hours to figure it out, but then he took over my projects and decided to make a "body pillow like Mommy's" for Aiden. Too cute. So now Aiden has this 5-6inch wide long body pillow with emergency vehicles all over it. Who knows what we will use this for as I'm sure he won't be sleeping with it between his legs like I have to right now thanks to him! 
Now, our second project was today, painting coat one of his nursery wall. I got a free quart of "candy apple red" Glidden paint, so I thought what the heck, hope we like the color! Kris had to do the whole taping off the wall and then had to paint because he told me I was not allowed to at all. The color is a bit on the pinker side, but there are some darker spots where more paint settled. One quart ALMOST did a thin coat on the wall, but we are going to go buy more of the same color and hope with another 2 coats it will be perfect! In the process Kris said
instead of doing name letters on the wall we should just paint his name on... see picture.

Looks like you got a good one! Very sweet!
Cute! My hubby did the same thing when I was preggo and nesting hard out. He wouldn't let me paint (but I did anyway when he was at work), he was so worried all the time. I think the preparation time before your wee guy arrives is one of the most special times you and your husband can have. Dave and I look back on our pregnancy with such great memories!
What a great husband! And I lovee the name Aiden for the baby! I hope my husband is this helpful when I'm pregnant. We'll see...soon! I saw on your sidebar that you like thebump.com...me too! Thats what I've been looking at as we get to thinking about all that. Keep enjoying your sour gummy worms! =)
Thanks for stopping by my blog from Mama Kat's! :) What a great hubby! Ohhhh, you're so much closer to having your baby than me...I still have like 180 days! Congrats!
I'm sure the room will look just marvy when you're done, and Aiden will sleep like a charm in it!
On the sleeping part? Hey, we can dream...
Looks like you've bagged yourself a good one there! Round if applause for your man x

Stumbled upon your blog... hello!!! Curious if you're finding the red a pain in the tooshy to dry..? We painted a roon red a few years ago and it seemed to take weeks for it to completely dry.
