Splash Screen Timing error

I'm showing a splash screen before my application load and this is my code that displays it.
Thread tSplash = new Thread(new ThreadStart(showSplash));
tSplash.Start();
Thread.Sleep(2000);
tSplash.Abort();

My problem is my splash screen is still showing when my main form appears. How can I make my my main form wait for the thread to stop before showing the form?
