WOW-time is flying by!

WOW- where is the time going?? Can you believe that in 43 days our baby girl will be here! I think the anxiety is starting to set in. We have so much to do in so little time. Here is just the short list...
-Finish house
-Unpack everything
-Set up baby's room
-wash all baby stuff
-get car seats installed
-finish decorating nursery
AAAHHHH...I could go on for pages but I don't want to bore you or scare myself into another sleepless night! :)

Since I am avoiding the house topic today I thought I would post something that makes me really happy- one of our maternity pics. Our good friend and very talented photographer Tori of TW Photography (click the link on the side to see her stuff) took some amazing pictures to capture this event. We had so much fun with her and even though we have only seen 4 teaser photos I am so excited about them. So here is a teaser for all of you....



Stay tuned for house updates tomorrow-well hopefully!! It really is turning out gorgeous!

House Update....

Sorry I have been lagging on the updates. I have been a bit overwhelmed the last few weeks with what needs to get done, when will it be done, and making sure everything does get done. But it is slowly but surely coming together piece by piece. Almost all of our concrete work is done and it looks FABULOUS!! We went with a darker grey color and never looked at a sample. At first as they were pouring the first truck load I got very nervous because it was coming out black, like tar. But after we let it dry overnight and saw how it was starting to lighten to a beautiful dark grey I was stoked. We have already gone through 13 cement trucks and have about 3 more coming on Monday to finish everything. Then the landscapers will start planting all of the fun plants.

As for the inside things are moving at a snails pace! Man, you would think during these times people would want to work, work hard and try to finish early so they can go on to another job but that is not the case. It simply amazes me. But I have to say that all of the painting is done except for the touch up right before we move in. It all looks so good. Almost all of the cabinets are in. We are just waiting for the wood floors to be installed next week so we can put the kitchen cabinets in. I am in awe of how the cabinets have turned out- it is beautiful.

But the most impressive room is Baby T's!!! OH how I love how it turned out. I heart her room. It is beautiful. She is going to be very lucky when it is all done....

Next week will be busy, hopefully. Our wood floors will be going in. Our countertops will be going in and the tile will be finished. We are still hoping for an early January move in date so please keep your fingers crossed!


Here are some updated pics.

31 week update...

It has already been a crazy pregnancy week. We had our first baby shower and it was fabulous. Chris' parents did an amazing job hosting it and we had such a great time catching up with everyone. Baby T is already very spoiled and loved by all. I will post more pics once we get them.
All of the family together!


Chris and I


I have finally turned into a very pregnant person :) I have cankles!!! By the end of the day my feet and ankles swell so much I look like I have tree trunks for legs!! It is very sexy!! I had my normal dr appointment this week and lets just say I am carrying a few extra pounds of water weight or so I am telling myself! So I am now back to walking everyday no matter how cold it is! And then to add to my fragile state of mind as I was checking out at the grocery store the clerk asked me when I was due. I said "feb." and she said "with twins?" "Nope just one little girl" "I don't think she is going to be too little!!"" Ok...don't people know that they shouldn't say that type of thing to a woman let alone a pregnant woman?!
Here is a shot of the belly...does it look like twins to you???


Our classes are going great. We are learning lots of great stuff on how to tackle the birth. However, I think Chris and I fail miserably when it comes to the relaxation point. every time the teacher tells us to relax, close our eyes and think of a happy place we loose it. We start laughing and giggling and cannot stop. This past week it spread throughout the whole class!! So I wont be surprised if we get kicked out of that part soon. I can say that I dont think we will be having quiet moments of counting backwards during our delivery!

30 Weeks!!! and the baby class start

WOW...we are already 30 weeks. In just 70 days our little girl is due. Time is flying by and I am trying to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy. Tonight we start our baby classes. We have signed up for three- baby basics, breastfeeding and birthing and I am so excited. We have made a plan to treat each one as a date night- which means starting with dinner out and then heading to the hospital for our three hour class. Tonight will be the first of 5 on the birthing. I cannot wait to see Chris' eyes as we watch the video- it will be hilarious!

The painter is still working on Baby T's nursery but from what we have seen it is looking awsome!! I am so excited. I think everything is going to come together perfectly. I have been spending hours on esty trying to find the perfect art for her walls and I have finally narrowed it down. Plus, we are going to add some b/w pictures from our maternity pics (we still have to do that) and a b/w pic of my niece and nephews hands on the belly (it is the cutest picture ever)!

We are also getting ready to head to the bay area this weekend for our first baby shower. Chris' parents are hosting it and it should be a lot of fun. We cant wait to see everyone!

I will let you know how the classes go....
