Grayson Dolan Once we get back from the hardware store, Hannah is exhausted, so I tell her to go and take a nap while I build the changing table for the nursery. This morning I thought I was going to be painting the room, but they didn't have the colour in the store so we had to order it in, leaving me building the changing table instead.
If I'm being completely honest here, it's weird doing up the nursery knowing that my child is going to be growing up in Ethan's old room. It's also going to be hard saying goodbye to what it used to be, seen as we've had a lot of good memories in there. However, time moves on - it is what it is. And I couldn't be more happier; I'm soon to be a dad!
Hannah Dolan I wake up to loud music and the sounds of a drill. It makes me smile - I know that he's working hard.
I push myself off of the bed and walk out into the living room. I look out of the sliding door; Grayson's back is to me. I stand there for a good five minutes watching him focus on making this one changing table. If I'm being honest, I love watching him in his element - now being one of those times. He's so committed and just eager and excited to become a dad to our first child, our baby girl.
Suddenly I feel a little fur-ball brushing past my feet, and I look down to see it was Bella. She barks at me to let her out which makes Grayson turn around and see me stood there. He smiles as he watches me open the door, letting Bella run out before I waddle over to him.
"Sleep well?" He asks, bringing me into a behind-hug, also rubbing my belly.
"Yeah, how's the changing table coming along?" I ask, pointing over to the almost finished frame.
"It's almost done, I've just got to paint it black, and then that's it!" He says walking over to it. "Here, let me show you." He gestures me to come over. "So here is the area where we will change her diapers, there are lots of drawers for storage, and of course this piece of furniture is earthquake proof!" He makes me giggle a little.
I roll my eyes, "of course it's earthquake proof!"
"Hey! Don't make fun of my building standards." He points his finger at me.
"I'm only joking." I roll my eyes again.
Gray chuckles and comes over to give me a side hug, "I know!"

Grayson Dolan It's 8pm and I've finally finished the changing table, it's painted and glossed, and I've just put it where Hannah told me to - now I just have to call her in.
"Babe! It's finished! Come take a look!"
After about a minute Han waddles in and gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek (she can't really reach my lips anymore because her bump gets in the way).
