"We" (aka Hubby, B - daughter in law, E - son and I) went to the other son and daughter-in-laws house to work on the new baby's nursery while J and N were at work. "We" were going to paint, hang wallpaper border, hang curtains, set up the crib etc. All a surprise for the "mom to be". We would have surprised the daddy to be also but we wanted to get into the house without breaking a window.
Things were going along swimmingly until we were just about done painting and the phone rang. Seems the "mom to be" decided it was time to go into labor. She was having pains about 6 - 8 times an hour. They were headed to the hospital.
We went into overdrive and got the border up, the crib built and the curtains hung, just about in time for them to walk in the front door. It was a false alarm.
BUT we walked her down the hall with her eyes closed (no peeking) and she was pleasantly surprised, I do believe.
Now all we need is a baby. Well, and a mattress and dresser and changing table and other little baby misc.
But at least the room is painted and looks like a nursery now instead of a storage shed. :)
