Radom Updates

This is the first time I have gotten to really dress up during my pregnancy. So of course I pulled out the pearls and heels. I am 27 weeks in this picture.
Patrick and I all fancy for band awards night.

This is how far I am on the blanket I am making. I have 12 inches down and about 28 inches to go. Each row is fun and has eight different types of stitch changes in each row. Lots of counting and the little markers help out a lot.

Here is a close up look so you can see the pretty detail, or what I believe is pretty.

The bathroom update: Everything is finished and looks great. See for yourself.

The ceiling above the shower looked really bad because before we moved in the bathroom did not have a fan to help remove the moisture. Also, the door got a new white paint job too.

The side wall lower panel had a big brown spot that needed to be painted over and fixed. Now it is all a pretty white.

The cabinets were also given a new paint job. I am really happy with what Patrick accomplished in this bathroom.

Life

23 weeks belly bump picture. I am in my regular shirt but the pants are maternity and super comfortable. They feel more like leggings than blue jeans. I am feeling great just getting bigger which is totally new to me. It is always a shock to look at myself in the mirror.

We have been pretty busy the past couple of weeks.

At home the past two weekends Patrick has been painting the upstairs bathroom. I must say it looks great. The ceiling above the shower needed sanding because of shower steam prior to us and a ventilation system being installed (we put in a ventilation system right before we moved in). So after sanding and some love and care the ceiling looks nice. It is painted a lovely white which makes the bathroom look bright and bigger. The walls are now a pretty buttercup instead of tan now too. The trim, cabinets, and door are now white. This room should be finished in the next few days. He only has a few touch ups left to do. I will post before and after pictures once he finishes. He has been really productive because we have to have the baby's room painted before the furniture arrives on April 30th.

This Saturday we went to Des Moines to register for baby Charles. We spent a huge amount of time in Babies R Us figuring out what we needed. Then on to Target which was a breeze because of the smaller size of area of baby stuff. I think the whole process took around 3-4 hours. I knew babies needed a lot but I truly had no idea until this trip!

Future Posts To Look For: Before and After Bathroom Pictures and Before and After Painted Nursery (I might even throw in some pictures of the nursery with the wallpaper we had to take down last year).

Until then take care,
