Trim Almost Done

The trim guys are almost done and they have really surprised me with little stuff they have added without us even asking.  I think it looks awesome.  They just have the stairway, front door, some hallway base board and the master tub front.  Hopefully they will finish up on Monday and we can start painting Tuesday/Wednesday.  

The paint has been one of the more stressful points in this project.  Paint can make such a difference and I just want to be sure I pick out the right colors which is hard  because I am so far from a decorator.  Hopefully it will look okay.  

  

I was just thinking a frame all around the window but love what they did on the top of windows.  We aren't going to put curtains, just some hidden blinds for if we want to pull them down, so I think the extra at the top will be perfect.  It matches the back doors, front door, study, and coat closet.   

 

I was thinking a small frame around the mirrors too, but really like what they did where the lights will mount above the mirror.  

Love the base wrapped around my cabinets.  They did it just like I wanted.  I think they are doing the same thing in the master bath.  

21 Months

Weight:  about 23 pounds. 
Diapers:  Huggies size 3
Sleep:  You took your first naps on the futon at Grandma Judy's and Pa-Pa Jim's on March 24.  Grandma said you got up for the monring and just walked out the room like a big girl.
Teeth:  15, I think.   You just got a new one on Sunday, March 20.  You are getting too many to count!   

*  You have started putting more words together.  Some of the favorites are "Where'd it go", "There it is", "Where's Lana", "Hi Momma", "Layla...Hush", "All dood (all done)"

*  It has been nicer outside and you love being out there to play!  I can only wait for our new house when you will have so much more room to run around and daddy will build you a swing set. 

*   We have had lunch and dinner outside a few times and you really like it.  I think you feel big sitting in the big chair to eat.  You don't stay seated for too long though before you just want to play. 

*  You have really started to love on and want your baby dolls.  Grandma Carol taught you how to put a diaper on her and now when I change you, I have to get a diaper for your baby too. 

*  You got some super cool light up shoes with shoelaces from pa-pa Joe and love showing them off. 

*  You love going new places and are pretty quite while you check it out, then you warm up to it and want to be off exploring. 

*  You loved your new house the other night while we were cleaning up.  You would run from room to room, but really seemed to like your room and looking out your window to the back yard.  You even went into your closet and said "oh nice".  I think you are going to love it! 

Lana you are such a good baby girl.  We could not ask for anything more!  You are my sweetheart and daddy's little buddy. 

Closets done, trim and crown going in

Door's are done

Crown molding and cabinet trim

They got the pantry fixed.  It was too deep and was covering the light switch.  

Crown molding in living room and entry almost done.  

Grayson's closet done. 

Lana's closet done.  The room's also have the baseboard done.   

Jayson was/is really worried about the entry.  He did not like how much mortar was showing between the rock.  I have a picture from when it first got done and the mortar was a lot darker.  I think it is has dried and looks just fine now.  

3rd Trimester

I'm 27 weeks!

Weight Gain/Loss:  Up 14 pounds.  (I think my weight doubled too this past month!)

Maternity Clothes:  pants and the small t-shirts are getting too tight!

What I miss:  Nothing really.  I love being pregnant.

Symptoms:  Starting to get some heartburn, but nothing tums wont help.  

Best moment this week:  Lana loves pointing at my belly and saying "baby"   

Cabinets

The cabinets got delivered yesterday and I just had to go by the house to see them after work.  I was so surprised when I got there and they had almost off them in place.  It really is starting to look like a house.  

So happy with how the kitchen is looking

Linen closet in master bedroom

My side of the bathroom

Jayson's side

Doors to be installed tomorrow.  Jayson did a good job picking them out. 

Laundry room

Kids bath.  Love their linen closet too.  

Garage doors.  We ordered them on a Thursday and they were in Monday.  If only everything went that fast.  

SILLY GIRL!  

Brick and Rock

The house is moving along.  It only took 2 days for all the brick and rock to be done.  The dry wall texture is done and next is the cabinets/trim.  Oh, they also installed the garage doors today, but I did not make it out there today to see them.  We also put our house on the market so prayers for it sells, but not too soon, in just the right time.  It is so exciting seeing it finally come together more.
