I have been promising house pictures for the longest time… I know. The place is still such a disaster, but it is slowly coming along! Here are a few quick peaks at the house as it currently is!
This is the living room a few months ago. It is still set up the same way, but is a bit messier right now. All of that furniture was left by the previous owners. The drapes and coffee table will be replaced and the pink chairs will be covered. The sectional is a bit huge and annoying, but it is comfortable so I really can’t complain!
On to the guest room {as of yesterday!} It’s missing some pillows and curtains, but it is getting there! Also, J spent quite a bit of time refinishing those hardwood floors. He did the office next door as well, but I don’t have a good picture of that room just yet.
This is one of my favorite rooms, but it is currently the messiest. It’s the basement {the house is on a hill, hence the window. Also, you can walk out on the ground level in the next room!} Currently there is a TV, couch and chair in this room plus about a million more books in that corner. It’s a work in progress! Oh, and big bummer, that fireplace is fake. But it sure looks pretty!
This is the newest update! Our kitchen got a new sink, a dishwasher, and some new countertops. They were just installed yesterday and today the plumbing is getting hooked up today {yes!} I am itching to use the dishwasher and finally unpack all of my kitchen boxes.
So there you have it! I’ll definitely post more pictures as the rooms are completed! We have SO many projects to do and it gets tricky trying to decide what is priority.
Wish us luck!
PS – Happiest of birthdays Miss Abby!
Here we are again, another week down! Lately the sweet babe has been keeping me up at night {sign of things to come I’m sure!} but we’re getting along just fine other than that. I can occasionally feel him move from the outside, but he’s been shying away from his father {this results in J poking at my belly saying “why won’t you play with me?” oh dear.}
Weight Gain:
+18 lbs
Happy Memories:
getting a new bed that makes this momma very happy
feeling the little man more often now
finally making progress on finding a pediatrician
reading up on natural childbirth
{okay this isn’t that happy, but I’m glad I’m finally doing it!}
I think I’m officially starting to feel huge. I can’t imagine what it will be like in a couple of months. Now that I’m finally getting some free time, I’ve been going back to the gym {and walking up steep inclines} and eating a bit better than I was before. Hoping it helps a bit!
Guess what friends? I have internet again!!! My mind is kind of blow as I sit here on my couch typing this up to you… J and I got rid of the internet back in September. When we were still in the apartment, this didn’t phase us much at all. We were a short walk {as in about a block away} from many wifi spots so if need be, we had an easy alternative. Out in the suburbs, not so much!
Anywho, just a quick note of excitement! I should be around a bit more now. But I promise nothing. 
10 am is too early to be eating garden herb Triscuits. But they were delicious.
I probably shouldn’t have a diet that consists of granola bars, spaghettios and mac n’ cheese.
Unless of course those are all of the baby’s favorite foods. But still, I should probably get some protein or dairy or fruit in there… right?
My husband’s poor feet. He just did 2 days of his hike in shoes that were one whole size too small. He’s home now to heal and to put on better shoes.
Yes, that means I had to go pick him up an hour away last night. It’s a good thing I love him.
Trying to write a blog with no home internet is well, difficult. Thankfully that will be fixed tomorrow.
I love that it took me only 15 minutes to dry and straighten my hair today. This is at least half of what it use to take when my hair was down to my elbows!
The house is still a disaster from the move. I’ll post pictures of rooms as they are completed, but it may be a while. Maybe I’ll get some work-in-progress posts going soon {you know, when I get the internet again.}
I’m currently reading this book and it is hilarious. I don’t even read the blog regularly {I save it for days when I need a real good laugh} but it has proven to be a most excellent trolley-ride read.

I really must stop using my husband’s iPhone for these pics. Having no internet kind of puts a damper on the whole camera/camera cord/computer system though. That aside, do you notice anything different?!?! Yep! That hair is gone! I miss my long braid and curly side ponies a bit, but it feels SO good to be rid of that length. I’m not sure what the final cut ended up being, but I think it was around 5-6 inches. Let me tell you, I love it!
Weight Gain:
+16 lbs
{much more tolerable 1 week gain!}
Happy Memories:
turning 26 on Saturday!
buying a new bed
getting a couple of prenatal yoga/workout dvds
this momma’s back is FINALLY feeling better! Yip!
Last week was a long week at work and I’m hoping this week is a little slower. I have some big plans for while J is away on his little manquest. I’ll share them to you once I know he is out in the wilderness and no longer has potential to read about them here.
