The Story of Our First Home - Year One (more like year 1.5)..and life..

     Well Oct 2012 (the 14th?!) marked one year in our home..now were on what, almost a year and a half?!  It has been a slow process getting our home to feel like..our home.  Picking out paint isn't as easy as I thought, finding the right drapes is even worse (note why only two out of I think seven rooms have them!).  It also doesn't help that I have specific ideas on how I want each room to look so I'm just not settling on paint, furniture and decor.  Instead, I'm searching high and low for the 'right' piece/color/fabric/furniture...

     We have Jakes office and guest bath left to paint and were dragging our heals..I think winter blues is our excuse.  Maybe when nicer weather rolls around I'll be more enthusiastic about painting..till then, screw it.  I stillll need dining room chairs so I am hoping this summer I can find some!  There is a lot of home decor pieces I am still searching for which I think will be an on going process.

     Now the biggest change in the new home is changing our guest room into a...NURSERY!  Feb 28th 2013 (one month to the exact after my 30th Birthday) we found out that we will need a crib instead of a new headboard in that room!  We are ecstatic and beyond scared at the same time!  Today I am 12 weeks 2 days to be exact.  Time has gone by extremely fast since finding out..and luckily the first trimester has treated me very nice.  I consider myself very lucky for no major hiccups the past 12 weeks and heres hoping the rest  of my pregnancy is just as smooth!

     Spring is here finally and I am ready to start/finish a lot of projects that I would like done before baby is here.  But for now...its time to eat..again..anyone wanna bring me a doughnut!?

     ps..if my house was even semi put together (I blame pregnancy exhaustion!) I would post the 'in process' home photos..but for now..you get ultrasound pics!  They are much cuter anyways..
