We decided to do some painting in the house finally. So over the New Year's holiday, Michael's mom graciously came down to help Michael do all the painting! They were great troopers and worked very hard and got it all done!
We painted Joseph's room a pale blue and the baby's room across from his a light green color. Then in our living room, we decided to do an accent wall where the tv is and do it a greenish brown color. It all looks really good and feels good to have some color added to our house since everything seems to be the same color.
We've also gotten the baby's room just about as ready as we can. We've decided that the boys will just share the same bedding theme for a little while since the baby will be in our room the first few months. Plus, Joseph is still doing great in his crib and I'm in no hurry to rush him out of it until he is ready for a big boy bed. So, we kept the crib in Joseph's room and moved some other regular furniture in there. Then, in the baby's room we have a small movable wooden crib as well as the glider and changing table. For the time being though, I think this is going to be the best set up. Then when Joseph is ready for a big boy bed we will get him some new furniture and bedding theme.
And now for the big announcement for baby's name! Our sweet baby boy will be named ANDREW! We're also about 95% sure his middle name will be Thomas, so full name would be Andrew Thomas Zajicek. We really liked Andrew as a name and love that it is a traditional biblical name like Joseph's name. In less than a month, we will be cuddling our precious baby Andrew - that sounds so fun to say! :)
Here are some pictures of the painting process and some after shots!

| Michael and Faith working hard in Joseph's room. Poor Joseph got so scared when we got home from the store and he saw what Daddy and Grandma were doing to his room! But then he realized it was fun and how many things there were to mess with. :P |

| Messy room |
 |
| The most challenging part of all - having to get the top of the wall in the living room where we have high ceilings and only a 6ft ladder |
 |
| My contribution - painting the letters for Andrew's wall! |
 |
| Daddy and Joseph drilling holes in the letters before hanging them. Joseph loves to be Daddy's special helper. |

| And here it is - we're official! |

| Andrew's room - hard to see but it is a soft green color |

Looks great! And I LOVE the name Andrew! I can't believe it's so close, and I'm praying the rest of your pregnancy goes quickly and easily.
Great work on all the painting! The rooms look great. Love the name Andrew - so precious!
