My BFF came over to help me with the next step on the nursery, I can't believe we got the stipes all measured out (4" white, 3" pink and 1" green) and then taped off. I will have the pink all painted tonight. I need to go buy the green paint though to finish it!

We started on the nursery yesterday. My BFF came over and we were able to get the pink above the chair rail and while below done. Now I have to paint the trim, doors, and get the stipes painted on the bottom half. Then my wonderful dad is gonna come install a chair rail for us!

I will get a picture taken tonight to mark my 20 weeks!
