my BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love them.

larger pic of the bubbles, hard to see in this one that is why i did the close up. they look amazing though and i love them, they are so bubbles not polka dots!!!!!

so that is where we are right now we also painted the upstairs hall but i don't have a pic yet. it is just a hallway though nothing exciting. we have the 2nd bath and entry way to paint and then we are done with paint!!!! so we are getting closer everyday. brandon has been working hard and learning alot. he put up all the blinds, changed lights, put up fans, and much more!!! as baby gets closer i get more useless around here, i just hope to get a few more things done before baby shows up!!!

half bath!!

half bath pics!!!


this is the only before picture i have, just another dirty white box!!!

we kept the toilet and medicine cabinet, but cleaned them like crazy!!! we put in a new toilet paper holder!!

new towel holder. same sink but cleaned like crazy!!!

new light and mirror!!!

ok well the half bath is done. of course like all the other rooms that is except a few things, we still need to pick some art for the wall and the molding needs to be put in. no molding will be done till all the painting is done, and we are getting so close now. we only have the entry and upstairs hallway ad the 2nd bath upstairs to paint. so almost there!!!! the mud room needs a 2nd coat but it is the same as the bathroom color. i will take picks in there later.

more house!!!

ok, finally some more pictures of the house. we have finished our bedroom, and brandon and his dad have built a great deck. we still need to add some art on the walls in the bedroom and a few things on the deck still need done, but you can get the idea.

first are the befores and then the afters.

doesn't it look awesome!!!! brandon and his dad have been very busy working so hard to get the deck built. it really looks great and we still have a ton of yard space. i love it!!


ok the living room, and kitchen are also painted but we are still putting up blinds, so i will post pics when that is done. tomorrow we start the mudroom!!! we are super close to everything being done so that is exciting. of course then we just get to move on to the garage and basement!!!

baby room

ok here are some pictures of the baby's room. we are still working on the final product but it is very close to done. we need to get our rocking chair, put bubbles on the wall which will be on the crib wall, get the darkening shade, hang some things and add a few things here and there, but for now it s pretty good!!!!
_________________________________________________________


this is before, an ugly, dirty white box!!!



this is the crib, this wall will have the mural of bubbles hopefully!!! we obviously still need all the bedding too.



here is the dresser and closet. the cubbies are just filled with clothes right now, i need hangers and i need to organize everything one last time. the bunny diaper holder on the closet door was the one my mom made for my sister and me when we were babies and it fits in perfectly. i even have a few newborn diapers in it!!!!!


this is the changing table. i love how high it is very good for my back!! the lamp will be moved to the dresser soon. the rocking chair will be put in the corner.

view from the door. we also added a ceiling fan with light but i didn't get it in the picture. the carpet is also new through out the house.

we are very happy with the turn out. i absolutely love the furniture. i am excited for the baby showers so i can fill it up even more and get more organized. we are getting closer and closer!!!!!! i am so glad we have a few rooms getting finished up too. we will be painting the living room soon and hopefully our room too. and once i clean up the guest room i will put those pics up too. all the befores are about the same, dirty, nasty white boxes!!

MAJOR UPDATE

OK i found my camera cord so hold on tight!!!!
first are a few pics of the new house. it is a 2 story, 3 bed, 2.5 bath house. it has a great back yard, but a lot of work. we have already done a lot of renovations, i will have to do before and after pics some other time. so far we ripped out all the floors, got new tile and carpet ad have slowly begun to paint. all with help form both of our families...thanks guys!!!

this is the kitchen, it is a good size for us!



this is the back yard, we are hoping to add a deck soon!



and this is the front.

i only put a couple pics on here because the others just show crappy house really, i will post more soon as we finish projects!


ok now on to the baby pics i only have a few. these are out of order but the first is on my belly at 6 months. this was also the night brandon and i went out for our 1 year anniversary, and this is the only picture we took. we had a nice dinner out together, but really since we moved we have had a lot of those do to a major mess in the kitchen. it was still great to stop working and just sit with him at dinner and talk. we can't believe that in 3 months we will be a mommy and a daddy!!!!


this one is of the two of us at our friend Melissa's wedding. it was a fun night and we had a chance to relax and dance. this was right before we moved. i was probably about 5.5 months or so there. it was on May 24th. and again the only picture we took all night.

so there you go...i think the belly looks pretty good, i am always tired now and totally over doing it here trying to unpack, clean up, paint, and so on. i know i have to slow down but it is hard to live in a mess. i tend to go all out one day and pay the next. we do have the baby room all painted and it looks great, i absolutely love it!!! we only have a few more things to clean and then the rest of the painting can begin. i am pretty sure we will have on going projects for quite some time now. but as long as all the big stuff is done by the time baby comes it will be fine. speaking of baby, it moves a lot these days, you can see my belly jump when i get a good kick or hit in there. brandon gets very excited about it, he waited along tome to feel it. i am not getting sick like i was anymore, an occasional nauseous moment or gagging episode but other then that it has been pretty god...thank god!!! i was way over that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have my next appt. on july 2nd so i will post more baby info after that. in the mean time i will try to take some after pics of the house to share.
