I'm too excited to keep it a secret any longer. So... I'm going to show you the one element in Baby's room that NO ONE in our families has seen. Nor will they see it until after Baby is here. I'm trusting ALL of you to keep this secret. I suppose it helps to know that none of you know any of our family members. And, for the most part, you don't even really know me... in person anyways. To the best of my knowledge, I have only one family member who even knows about this blog... and I fully trust her to not tell. So... here it is:
Yes. That's his first name. The cool part, is that coincidentally his name has 6 letters in it... and the quilt has 6 animals in it... so we painted one letter to match each animal:
 |  |
 |  |
 |  |
 |  |

 |  |
His name will go on the wall, between the giraffe and zebra, above his crib. Call me crazy... but I think the whole deal with the letters and animals matching up is so neat... I've been excited about it ever since we picked the name and the nursery theme and I realized they would match up. It's been driving me a bit nuts that I can't show them off to people. Like I said... I'm a little crazy.
PS-- No promises this post will remain up. Even with knowing no one will ruin our surprise, I'm still a little nervous about putting it out there... so I may just take it back down in a few days. We'll see.

I LOVE the letters. That is so cool!!! Love the name, too! What is the middle name? Will you call him Andy, or Drew? Amazing! Little Andrew will be in that room soon! BTW, I think you've made LOTS of progress. That effacement is great! And, the dilation should be enough now that they can strip your membranes. Did they try that? This is exciting!
That is sooo incredibly cool. It makes the whole room even more wonderful. I would be excited too! Still waiting for little Andrews entrance...
Aww, that's great! Your secret is safe with me...that room really is the bomb, made complete with the painted letters. Love it!
That is a nice name... (DH's middle name).
I knew as soon as I read the first line of your post that you were going to share this sweet secret. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Your post brought me out of lurkdom!
I really like the name Andrew, but DH didn't like it so we went with Tyler for our first and Trevor for our second.
And the nursery? It rocks. Really. So much I'm jealous.
I'm looking forward to your next post saying you have had that baby!
Best wishes,
Mary
Congratulations & welcome to Baby Andrew!
The letters look great! What a neat idea!
