And we're starting fresh...

So I tried to do updates for each month, but as I finished one, another month passed and I kept falling more and more behind...so we're just going to start from here!
(BUT PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR THE UPDATES I DID COMPLETE!!!)

We've been so busy these days getting everything squared away for our Little Guy!   He will be here in about 5 weeks.   I know, it's been almost 9 months since I last posted and I haven't shared hardly anything with this pregnancy...but we are on pins and needles waiting his arrival.

We've had SO much help getting his room ready, and we are so thankful for our family and all of their hard work.  So here is a preview of the work so far...still far from complete, but it's getting there!   Thanks to Pinterest we've got tons of ideas of things that we'd like to do, or try...but as we're finding out, some of them will just have to wait!

We took this spare room/office and we're converting into the new nursery.

(By the way, Sophia loves listening to her Daddy's favorite band Linkin Park, so that's what's happening here!  Notice the smile on her Daddy's face?!?)

 Empty Room, ready for stripes!  (Tan walls already painted)

 More Measuring...

 Taping 1/2 way complete (for the red...)

 Red before tape is taken off

 And...Red complete...now onto the blue!

 Red and Blue!   LOVE how they turned out!

While Whit and Sue have been so helpful IN the room, my dad has been super busy out in his garage building us this beautiful dresser!   Here's a picture of some of the progress (actually at this stage it's almost done!)

   And the completed project!   It's hard to tell from far away, but the handles are actually baseball bats, a mit and a baseball.   LOVE the way it turned out and can not wait to have it in the room!

Here's a close-up of the handles on the dresser

A collage of the progress thus far.    More pictures to come!

And my mom has been busy too!   My doctor has had me on a higher watch the past week due to higher blood pressure and has told me to take it easy and stay off my feet.   So mom, doing what she does best, cooked us meals.  Tons of meals.   Two days of cooking and our freezer is stocked.

We are seriously very loved to have so many family members watching over us and helping with every step along the way.

THANK YOU TO BOTH OF OUR FAMILIES!!!!
