basement remodel

A few months after me and Jesse got married we knew we wanted to remodel our master bathroom downstairs... so after a couple months of workers in our house we have our beautiful new bathroom. (now this isn't new news to some because we've had it done now since summer.. but I haven't put up any pics of it)

Now if you can imagine, where the shower is there used to be a wall and the old shower was in that corner where the furthest sink is and then we had a pedestal sink and then the toilet right next to it. So we knocked out the wall and made a awesome shower and a great double sink where I actually have room to put my make up on! :)

Enough room for both of us! :)

So now after hearing the news of a baby coming we got really excited to paint and fix up the room for the nursery. Once we got going on that we decided the basement was due for some new carpet... knowing that the existing carpet has been there for 6+ years it didn't take much to convince us. So we started... we got right on painting and putting up bead board in the baby room before the new carpet came. Jesse did most of the ripping up of old carpet I just took out the padding.. I did try though, I'm just weak sauce! :)

There was some pretty sweet tile under the carpet in the hallway and bedrooms

It was a lot of fun working on this project together and I'm SO happy with how it turned out. Now all we need is our baby furniture and our baby to fill the room :)

I'm kinda done with projects in the house for a while though. They are so much fun when you see the finished project but the mess during is no fun! We are so happy in our house and there really isn't much else that needs work so I think we'll be happy just doing little things here and there over the next couple years!

Expecting!!!

yep.. that's right.. its my turn!!

Jesse and I found out Aug. 5th that we are going to be expecting.. goes to show how often I update my blog.. but hey at least I'm getting to it! Anyways, I couldn't believe that I was actually prego and I made us go back to the store and get another test.. I think I took 3 before I kind of starting believing it!

By the time I had my first appointment I was already 11 weeks.. and luckily I had and have had zero sickness! I am now 18 1/2 weeks and we find out Nov. 2nd what we are having!!! It is such an amazing time in our lives and I feel so grateful to be having a great pregnancy. I didn't get the sickness part but I definitely had the tired part... I think I would come home from work and literally want to be in bed by 7! Poor Jesse had to put up with it! But now I'm feeling a lot more energized, but still wondering if it is actually real. I'm starting to get a little baby bump (pics on the way) but I just keep saying well maybe when I know what we're having it will make it more real, but as my sister-in-law Ashley told me.. she kept saying that to herself and it wasn't until she was in labor did she say "oh my gosh.. I am really having a baby!" :)

Jesse and I can't wait to be parents and we definitely can't wait to find out what we are having! I will try and keep my blog a little more updated :)
