Remodeled

Sigh, no pictures of the kitchen or master bedroom - Rew is currently fixing our countertop in the kitchen and the master bedroom is littered with baby things I need to sort. And I forgot to take pictures from the balcony or entryway... Otherwise enjoy:

Living Room: repainted, new lights, new baseboard, new carpet.

Living Room

Craft Room

Mikey's room is hard to photograph because his room is L-shaped.

Mikey's

Mikey's - I fell in love with the animal decals-this picture doesn't show them off very well and the wall is actually light blue, though you cannot tell.

Sarah's Room

Master Bath: Yeah... go STARE at the old picture, then come back. Yes, they are the same room. This picture doesn't show my butterflies- another decoration find I fell in love with and couldn't leave behind. Also, the checkered rug you see on the floor- I kept going back to Bed Bath and Beyond just to look at it, finally decided that yes, I really loved it and still do. New tile, paint plumbing...

Storage...

Oh! and another picture of my kitty Calysto! She is so sweet. She wasn't too happy about bright lights in her eyes.

House

House

Okay, we moved in March to this lovely house. Then promptly tore it apart, painted, cleaned, replaced...blah, blah, blah...

Here's the before:

House Front, you can't tell, since this picture is from Google maps, but we trimmed all the trees, cut down the overgrowth in the front and put in a stone path leading to the gate (on the far right). Also, put down wood shavings in the flowerbeds around the plants.

Back of house...wish I had a picture pointing the other direction-love the view from our balcony and we have terraced gardens around the west perimeter.

We don't have any pictures for the Mikey's room, craftroom, garage, cold storage, laundry or balcony. But enjoy! and when I find my computer cable, I will post pictures of the refinished areas! :) Yea!

Hello Baby

Stomach Flu today. :p not fun when baby likes to kick your aching stomach!

I've known for awhile, I'm expecting a boy. He was incredibly active during the ultrasound and wouldn't let us see his profile. Dr. had to find the heartbeat 5 times because he kept moving.

Rew and I had given away all of our baby stuff so we have been purchasing one item a month. We finally have a crib, swing, some blankets and a few outfits. I've been very slowly getting over the shock of even finding out I'm expecting--but with this new basketball belly I have constant reminders.

Rew and I watched an animated video on labor and delivery, my guess is that Rew will pass out. Or else get very queasy- I'll pack him some juice and crackers for the maternity bag.

Speaking of which... what do you put in the maternity bag to take to the hospital?
