Lots to do before baby arrives!

It seems as though we just keep on finding projects around the house that have to be finished before our little baby boy arrives.  The nursery project continues...we are done painting and hanging curtains so now its time for the fun stuff!  Josh had fun painting the stripes :)  We get our chair and crib this weekend, so I am very excited to see those in the room!  My mom also made a ton of things that she gave to me on mother's day.  By just looking at the bedding set she made a sailboat picture with different fabrics (soooo cute), a lamp that matched and a cute lil coordinating frame.  Oh and by the way...I did not put lily in that spot when I 

took the pic.  Every time I open the door to the baby's room she trots on over and plops down on the quilt...oh dear...

Another project going on in our house, is the finishing of our basement!  We are very excited and very very very lucky to have such a helpful and talented brother-in-law.  Eric and Carissa have been spending most of their weekends at our place while the guys work on the 

basement.  We love having them over, and we are excited to have them over just as often when we are finished but letting Eric relax instead of putting him to work as soon as he arrives :)  All we have left (and do you like how I say 'we' as if I have been helping out down there) is spraying the ceiling, trim, doors and windows, painting, flooring, installing toilet/vanity in the bathroom and lights!  Okay...that list sounds a little long, but you would be so amazed with what Eric and well Josh too... can do in a day.  Our basement will be one large room, where we will have an entertainment area with a new couch (huge!) and new t.v.  We will also have a bathroom down there as well.  The storage room will also be finished, lots and lots of space to put all my crap.  I will update with pics once we are done! And the last major project that isn't as exciting...is replacing the garage door.  It pretty much folded in half on us when we were lowering it one day...so in order to have a functioning door we have to replace a couple panels. 

 The cost of being a homeowner...paying lots of money for stupid things :) 

Oh and I am 24 weeks!  I will post this weekend with an updated picture of my baby bump!
