We made a quickie trip to Cincinnati over the weekend, taking Grandpa Kenny along with us as he hadn't seen the kids' place yet.  I was excited to see the nursery they've been working on, and the crib and dresser they bought.

I've never seen a crib set so close to the floor, but I think that'll be extra nice for Kara since she's a little, uh, shall we say "height challenged."  Not so great for tall, lanky Kyler...but we all know the mama does the most lifting in and out of the crib, and I suspect it will be no different in their home.

I was relieved to find out that our baby will not be sleeping on cardboard...the mattress is yet to come...

I really love the dresser, as it is a piece of furniture that will be used long after the nursery's empty.

Oh yes, the walls were just painted!  Kara says the color is Aqua Mist, a beautiful gender-neutral color that can be easily adapted to decor changes.

Halfway through the pregnancy, the excited parents-to-be!

And this last photo has nothing to do with baby prep, but this is the newly-refurbished guest room at their home.

Yes, that is chalkboard paint and artistic/creative Kara drew on the details with chalk.  Isn't that cool?  I can picture how fun that would be for a child's room someday...hey, maybe it DOES have to do with Baby Gray after all! 

2014 is shaping up to be a GREAT year for our family with two new additions already on the way!  And I love, love, love being around all the exciting...

...baby preps!
