23 Weeks, Scooby & Before Pictures

23 weeks...Only 17 more to go!! I am feeling good...not sleeping well. But I am also not tired from the lack of sleep, so I guess it could be worse. I need to get more exercise then I am getting now, but with all that is going on, I don't seem to have much time. I am definitely not sitting around and doing nothing, so I am sure that is helping a little bit.

The nursery is in the very early beginning stages, it is cleaned out and we have bought the paint. So I will take a before picture of the empty room with the pre-painted light yellow walls and then I will post updates of the nursery as it goes along.

We got our first baby gifts in the mail!! My wonderful college friend Erica and her husband Kevin sent us the swing, a rattle and the head rest for the car seat that we registered for. So once the nursery is fully painted and the molding is put up (hopefully by the end of the weekend) we can put the baby's stuff in its room. :)

Scooby...I am sure you are wondering...well here he is!! This is the pattern that Jimmy and I decided on for carving our pumpkin! This was my first year using the pumpkin carving tools and I think it turned out pretty good!!

Now on to the before pictures...our contractor started on our basement on Tuesday. And I wanted to take step by step pictures until it is finished. I am so excited to get it finished! Our contractor said he could be done everything by the end of next week! That is also if he pushes himself hard every day, so we'll see. We are in no hurry to get it done that quick...we'd just like it done before Christmas, but it is looking like it will be done before Thanksgiving!

** Don't mind the mess stuffed under the stairs and the dogs...we had to find places to put stuff until the closets are finished! :)**


We might not have everything done by then, like the carpet, the fixtures in the bathroom and the wet bar might not be done, but the walls will be up, painted and it will look like a real room! Every day it is so exciting to come home and see what is done. I will probably take my next set of pictures tomorrow.


I leave for Florida on Sunday for a week...4 days for work and the rest will be spent relaxing with some of my girlfriends on the beach. I can't wait. And to be able to come home and see the progress on the house...it will be great! I will have to have Jimmy take some pictures while I am gone and send them to me so I can see what is going on.



I am off to watch Biggest Loser!

Adios! :)
