Remodeling & Resizing

Emma's room is done! Well, at least the floors, walls and window treatments! Got to give a huge THANK YOU to our families for making pulling this off. Mom, Dad, Steph and Hannah for cleaning and doing hours of yard and prep work and lending supplies and creative sewing skills - Mom, Dad, Rachel & Daniel for putting in the hard labor, painting, taping, pulling carpet, solving intricate math equations to make the flooring cover the space required, hanging curtains and sharing your time with us! We could not have done it without all of you! I love community and family!!

So, we painted the walls in Emma's room getting rid of the rather dark khaki to a much brighter blue & green to coordinate with Emma's bedding. We also pulled up the carpet and installed a beautiful wood laminate floor to give contrast to the furniture (which we still have to get and put in the room) and the rest of the flooring in the house. We found some gorgeous rust/orange fabric to go with the bedding and Mom made some fantastic curtains that just make the room 'pop'!


26 Weeks! The weeks are flying by! I can't believe how little time we have left! Everything is going well, had my glucose test (testing for gestational diabetes) last week and am awaiting the results, hopefully we'll have a good test result. Emma is moving like crazy! We're to the point now where you can see her move on the outside; rather intriguing. I definitely find myself watching my belly mesmerized. Such an amazing process!!
