Updates

Well, another boring post with no pictures, but feel I have neglected to write something long enough ;).

The house is becoming a little less chaos which is nice. We had new carpet put in on Friday on the stairs and all three bedrooms upstairs. With the fresh paint, new carpet and all the cleaning we have been doing (or cleaning Brandon has been doing I should say, since I HATE to clean!), the house is almost like new!

I have slowly been pulling things out of closets and drawers and getting rid of things or in most cases just trying to find new homes. I have a tendency to find an empty drawer or nook in a closet and just throw things in it. So, you never know what you are going to find!!

My main objective has been to tackle the nursery first so that we can get all things non-baby related out and make room for all the new things we have coming. We are getting there. Problem is I get worn out so quick, so just have to take little steps, but that is ok. We still have plenty of time.

I promise to post some pictures soon. But right now all you will see is piles of junk :)

Chaos

Chaos defines my house right now. Of course it is driving me nuts, but I know it is all for a good cause, and at least we are on track to getting some things accomplished. Brandon finished painting the 3rd bedroom upstairs yesterday, so now we have finally officially painted every room in our house now - no more painter's white! (unless of course you look in the closets) - only took us 7 years, but oh well ;) Next on the to-do list is new carpet upstairs. That is going to be a chore. We are going to have to clean out all of the rooms so that they can take up the old and put down the new. Hence why the chaos is only going to get worse before it gets better. My hope is that we can accomplish this by Thanksgiving, so that then we can finally start to get everything situated and ready for baby girl!
