Bedroom revealed

I finally picked an idea for William's bedroom and went with it. William really likes it (and what REALLY matters is I love it!). We went with: letters and numbers! A huge THANK YOU to Grandma for helping me figure out how to put the numbers and letters up and to Grandpa for watching William while we worked! The few times he came in to check on us made me realize we would NOT have gotten this done while he was awake. And...since he is sleeping in this room, it would be pretty tricky to do while he was sleeping.

Mama putting up the letters (yes, she is in her pjs still and yes, the pjs don't exactly fit anymore over the belly. I'm too cheap to buy new pjs for two more months of pregnancy.) Notice the laser level across my face?
The letters are in navy blue, green and yellow and go around the entire room. William likes to sit on his bed and point out the letters and different colors! So cute (except when he should be sleeping).
The letters are decals (kind of like huge stickers) we pressed onto the wall. When we are done using them, they should just peel off. This was way quicker and easier than buying all wooden letters or trying to paint the letters myself.
The finished look (note the crib in the room!)
The alphabet! YAY! The walls are kind of a springy green and I have green, yellow, & blue striped sheets on the bed. The bedspread is navy blue with yellow and green stitching on it. Simple, but very cute.

Grandma and Grandpa also helped us out by bringing us some bedroom furniture. We've been looking and looking and looking around town and couldn't find anything we liked [in our price range]. So, we're going to use Uncle Mike's old set for now (or forever). The best part? It is already broken in!
William loves to be a "helper"! Helping put the screws into the bedframe.
The helper at work!

PS Thanks for all decorating suggestions. Some of my favorites were: Motorcycle Biker Babes (you won't need to redecorate when he is a teenager!), Tree house (cute, WAY to much work for a one handed man and pregnant chick), outer space (we are kind of nerdy 'round here and I don't think we would be able to have an inaccurate diagram of the solar system= lots of work), safari (very fun!)

PPS I'm almost ready to talk about the sleep situation.
