End of Summer

I can't believe summer is finally coming to an end and since it is the end of summer then that means we are getting closer to get this baby. Tomorrow I am 35 weeks! I am really getting excited. I can't believe this baby can be here in just a few weeks. The doctor said everything is looking good and measuring great. It was kind of freaky when the doctor was explaining about when to go into the hospital and talking about contractions which I have felt a few of. Really freaky but fun.

In other good news, we signed on our house yesterday! They still have to send it to the bank for the official stamp of approval I guess. We should get the keys in a few days and it will officially be ours. It is getting close to when the baby is due but it will all work out. I can't believe this is actually happening. We ended up getting a bunch of stuff for a greater deal than we even thought. Good things come to those who wait I guess.

So I promised more pictures as we moved along in the process so here is another photo:

Jake's favorite part of the house (actually the r.v. pad which you can kind of see from the front yard picture). He is excited to put his toys on the pad that goes to the backyard and the shed that is in the back. He can't wait to get snowmobiles and put his jeep crawler back there. He already has plenty of it planned out. My favorite part is of course the kitchen but not at this point. It has lovely white and blue marble looking countertops and is missing a fridge :) That just meant that I got to get new nice stainless steel appliances with my new gas stove that is waiting to be put in. Can't wait!

Well I am glad it all got figured out before because Jake went to Moab this morning. They are doing one last party before Jared leaves on his mission. Also we had a fun time on Tuesday at the shower for Valerie and I. Got just about everything I need for the baby just need a few more things like a swing, rocking chair, and other little things. Thanks to everyone who came. Well that is all the news for now. Hopefully news on the house really soon.

Sneak Peak

So here is a sneak peak of the house:

*This was taken when the house wasn't abandoned and the grass was still there. It is MUCH more dead now but it will come back next year and nothing a little roundup can't fix.

The house is officially under contract so I figured I could post a picture. Jake and I plan on taking a lot of before and after pictures because we want to do a lot of stuff. We are really excited because of the price and the size of the house. It is 2300 sf with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. We will post more pictures as it goes along and things start moving through. The closing date as of now is supposed to be the 19th so hopefully everything goes well.

The Nesting Is Setting In!

So the nesting is officially set in or else the fear that the house will go through and I won't have any time after since we will be working on the house. So here is a little preview of what I have been making. The first is the car seat cover and hopefully the next few days I can put up the tutorial for the quilt.
