Pre-Baby Bachelor Party + Nursery Pics

This weekend Matt and his best friend Lloyd planned a trip to Vegas. Although a few of my friends advised me to put the kibosh on this weekend, I knew Matt really wanted to go (and we both love Lloyd), so I told Matt that I was fine with the trip, as long as our doctor said it was okay. We got the medical approval of all doctors on Thursday, so Matt left Friday morning for a weekend of fun and poker!

While he was busy having fun in Vegas and hobnobbing with poker stars, my parents and sister came to stay the weekend with me to help with the finishing touches on the nursery. It was a great weekend - we got everything accomplished on our list, had some fun and yummy meals, and hopefully my mom's birthday on Saturday wasn't too terrible since I made her paint a nightstand, make a lamp shade and generally work on baby stuff!



One of my favorite touches is this nightstand. When we bought it, I liked the shape and size, but not the color. So my mom offered to (read: I made her) spray paint it green for me. I did not anticipate how much time and trouble this would be for her and my poor dad. It involved many trips to Lowe's, several cans of spray paint, and a power sander, but I really LOVE the way it turned out!





Now all we need is a little bambino to enjoy the space!












And her cute little bathroom:


PS - For any of you concerned about this "Pre Baby Bachelor Party," have no fear. Lloyd's wife and my dear friend, Jennie, and I have already decided that we will get a "Post Baby Bachelorette" trip this Spring and Matt and Uncle Lloyd can babysit little Olivia. I think we're coming out ahead on that deal!
