guess i should finish my home reno pics...


Now that we are moving, I think it is time I finish documenting all of the renovations we did to our house. I know it will be so neat to be able to look back on this in thirty years, blogger will still be around then, right?!?:) As I have said, we did some major renovations to our house...the kitchen and bathroom are completely re-done/brand new. It took a lot of hard work (thank you daddy and Mikey!) but it was WELL worth it. I have already documented all of our kitchen renovations here (my what a difference a year and a baby makes in my mind set!) and the nursery is here, even though I didn't put up any "before" pictures...it was essentially just a blank room, nothing exciting.

On to the ONE and only bathroom.  Honestly...having only one bathroom really isn't the MAIN problem space wise for our house.  The only time it really sucks is when we are entertaining...I don't like that my only bathroom/personal space is the one everyone has to use.  I'm not one of these that needs a TON of bathroom space/drawers/etc.  But, now that there are THREE of us in this house...it is getting a little cramped.  We have to keep Collins' bathtub and bath essentials somewhere too...

So, my pictures are in reverse order...but I'm too lazy to fix it.  Oh well.  These are the "after."  Everything in the bathroom was ripped out...we put up bead board on the walls and new tile on floor and in shower, new tub/shower, ceiling fan, vanity, etc.  My dad even created the little nook below for towels so we would have as much storage as we could possibly fit in this little room.  I really think the white bead board and pale blue walls helped make the room look as big as it possibly could.  Thank goodness the houses we are looking to move into have at least THREE bathrooms!!  What am I ever going to do with so much space!!  

Yuck.  The before. 
The previous owner had already moved out and all water was turned off, making everything extra icky.
So maybe I'll have the whole house documented by the time we move out of it.  Ha.

I think I am MOST giddy about the fact that I get to start decorating again!  Happy girl:)

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
