So much excitement!

I feel like I have so much going on these days! Here are my Top 3 Things to be excited about today!

99 days - Only 99 days until my due date! I can't believe how fast 2nd Tri flew by. I mean...it seriously WHIZZED by!

New niece or nephew - We found out yesterday that my brother and his wife are having their 2nd! I can't wait to meet their new little one in November. That brings our niece/nephew count up to 7!!! We have 3 nieces, 2 nephews and 2 yet-to-be-announced!

Home progress - slow and steady wins the race, right? The craft room is starting to come together. Painting is done and we are starting to move furniture in. I have a lot of work ahead of me with the unpacking and sorting that needs to happen before we can start on the nursery. I just wish we weren't so busy, so we could dedicate more time to the house!

And just for fun - some BELLY SHOTS!

Shoes!

So today I decided to clean out the bottom of my closet. Of course, that meant taking an inventory of my shoes and paring some down. When I laid them out to see what I had, this is roughly what it looked like. Sad thing is that you can't see all the shoes in this pic!

I did end up getting rid of about 10 pairs, but I held on to the rest. Hey - I'm patting myself on the back for giving any of them up!

How many pairs of shoes do you have?

My Dream Nursery

Christy at The Domestic Princess graciously agreed to create an idea board for Felicity's nursery. She has been an awesome "online/blog friend" to me for over 10 months now. I love stalking her blog which is full of decorating ideas, recipes, product reviews, fashion, giveaways and more.



When I told her my ideas for the nursery, I basically just said I wanted blue walls, white furniture and pink accents. What she came up with is better than I imagined and totally do-able for us. For all the details about the idea board, including where to find all the products, click here.

We are going to turn Matthew's office into the nursery, which means that Matthew's desk will now be moved into my craft room. This isn't such a big deal, since my craft room at this point is just a boring room with white walls and boxes everywhere.

We have so many home projects to complete before the baby is here...
*Matthew is in the middle of building more closet/storage space in the basement
*Paint and set-up the craft room/office
*Decorate the nursery - which includes bead board and a little paint
*Make the laundry room a laundry room, rather than a room without a walls and a cement floor that houses the washer and dryer

Getting the laundry room done might be a little far fetched...maybe if I should Matthew this post he will be extra motivated :)

Squirrels in the Attic

So when M was installing a ceiling fan over the weekend, he found a dead squirrel in the attic. It was nighttime, so he looked around, but couldn't find any hole to the outside. Then today he hear scurrying, so he went to take a look. Seems that a squirrel family chewed through our house and is living between the roof and the attic walls. EWWWWW. M is "exterminating" then going to patch the hole up. He said if they don't get out, they will just die up there. DISGUSTING!

My house is grossing me out right now!

Finally some house pictures!

Feels like home?

So last weekend we had our first housewarming party...about 25 family members came to see the house. I think it went well. It is so hard to tell what people think of our house, you know? I want them to like it, of course, but I also want to them to be honest. Like, tell me something they like, but also give me an idea of something we can improve, or where I should but a decoration or something. I certainly don't think our house is done!!!

Tonight we are having some friends over for a game night...so again, several people will be getting a first look at our house. I'm not nervous this time, though. Don't know why not!
