Nursery Re-Do

We pulled the carpet back to find this very icky black mess under the carpet.

 Thankfully we scrapped it off relatively easy :}

The hard part was removing the nails, and staples... oh did I mention the fact that the carpet installer (who we think was the former owner) used regular desk staples????

 I worked on removing the 80's pastel border.

 Randy hard at work sanding the floor.

 CJ inspecting the floor when the boys were done.

The floor looks brand new!  AMAZING!!!!!

We still need to clean and seal it, but it looks a million times incredible!

We couldn't ask for better friends to help us :}

Tots to Teen Sale

There was a huge Tot's to Teen sale at a local school and this was prior to us finding out what we were having- Gender neutral plus the blue one at the bottom is Eric Carle :}

Garage Sale Finds- but not by me!!!!

A friend of mine, Randi, called me on the phone and I told her that I had gone garage sale'ing the day before- she told me that I would  have too many clothes!   Several hours later, she calls to tell me about a crib for $40.  It was a sleigh bed crib that was white. Amazing!!  It was near the end of her sale, so they bargained down to $20!!  When I got there, Randi also had an armful of clothes... wait didn't she tell me I had too many clothes already?  Well never mind that, they were cute and some still had tags on them :}  The lady also threw in some socks too!

4 onesies
a sleeper
2 jumpers- with the tags
a football button sleeper
and a toy which I am sure will make noise lol

Here is the crib which Randi got for $20:

Okay well it's not a photo of my new crib because I covered it up at my mom's house and forgot to snap a photo.  I did search to make sure that there was no recall on it- no bargain is worth the baby's life.

Week 29

First off Happy Birthday to my Mom!  

She is 27 again this year :}  

Love ya Mom!

How far along? 29 weeks

Maternity clothes? Some, but most regular clothes
Stretch marks? nope :}
Sleep: I still wake up nightly, but sometimes I just go right back to sleep.
Best moment this week: We had our first baby class this week.
Miss Anything? Coffee... not sure why but this week I have been craving my Starbucks- I think a small one is in order- that is if it ever cools off!
Movement: All of the time.  Thursday afternoon my belly was just moving. I am not used to that at all.  Couples in our baby class were talking about what the best and worst thing about being pregnant were- lots said movement- {Really?  I said it freaks me out!}  We were giving our introductions when we had to answer the likes and dislikes- then our partners could answer as well.  Lots of guys said they could do without the hormones. Randy and I agree, I don't think I am having a hormone issue at all :} Oh what I did say that I liked about pregnancy was the fact that I was pregnant.  It took us a long time to get here so I couldn't be happier.  Randy said he could do without me being so warm as he is freezing!! That's a real change for our house.  I am usually the one who is always cold and love the heat- well not this year!
Food cravings: Milk and chocolate milk :}
Anything making you queasy or sick: Food in general doesn't look or taste good to me.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: None :}  
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On with plenty of room to spare- I am not swollen at all.
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy
Looking forward to: Painting the nursery- among other things on my ever growing To-Do list!!

Co-worker

One of Randy's co-workers and a former classmate I had in my Master's program, gave us this adorable gift.  I can't wait to share a photo of him wearing that!  Thanks Stacy!
