I started painting today. I’m using 2 colors – yellow and green. I’ve started with the yellow, which is “Tigger’s Tummy” by Disney/Behr. I haven’t picked the green yet.

I painted after work today and got about 1/4 of the room done. DH is at a conference in Vegas this week, and he knows I’m doing this “project” – I hope he’s as happy with the results as I am (so far anyway).

It’s finally real. It’s not like I’m just painting to paint. We’re actually going to TTC. God willing, there will be a baby in there in 2009.

So, DH is going on a business trip next week and I wanted to paint our bedroom while he was away. Today he told me he thought it would be a better idea for me to paint the “other room” (baby’s room) instead. His rationale was that if I mess it up or don’t like it we can paint over it and not have to see it every day and because we’re going to remove the carpet in there anyway if I spill.

So, then he told me to paint it like a nursery – whatever I want. And I thought that was a good sign. So, I said that I hadn’t thought about painting that room because I thought it would be pushing him more. And then he said that painting the room has no bearing on our decision on when to TTC. I think he should have said his decision, since I’m ready to go.

It’s strange how one minute I can be so excited about painting the baby’s room and the next really upset because it still doesn’t change anything. We still have no baby. And no timeline to speak of.
