We're Movin' In!

We passed our inspection for our temporary certificate of occupancy on Monday and now we are packing up and moving out of my sister's. They were kind enough to take us in back in February and let us stay with them until our house was done......thanks a ton! We love you so much! Here are some newer photos of the house....we now have power, a kitchen and carpet! There's still a lot that needs to be finished, but it finally looks like home!

This is how I have spent the last few days at the house!

(barefoot and pregnant! ha ha)

Everyday it looks more and more like home


This is the nursery


The loft with carpet and lighting.....yeah electricity!

Office

I still love the stairs!

Master bedroom....I painted the brown accent wall on Friday.

These next few pictures show how we poured our own concrete counter tops. If I do say so myself, they look amazing and it was a lot of fun making them.....let us know what you think!

Waiting was the worst part.....we were so anxious to see how they turned out.

Steve was so excited to use his new toy....I mean tool!

Now all we have to do is seal them.

Our kitchen....still not quite done, but you can see where we are going.

Steve's siblings are all in town this week. We loved spending time with them this weekend, and can't wait to go camping this weekend! We could use a break!Steve and his brothers

More family hangin' out at the house.

For those of you who don't know, I am married to a very talented man. He took ceramics in high school and in college and has made some awesome pieces of art. This talent must run in the family.....Steve's sister Jaime is also extremely talented when it comes to ceramics. She is in town from North Carolina and brought us our first house warming gift (that she made!).....check it out! It is amazing! Thanks Jamie...we love it!

By the way....Jamie and her husband are also expecting a little one in January, and we are so excited that our little Gracie will have a cousin just a few weeks younger to play with!

It's a.........

You know what 'G' stands for right?!?!?!?!

...........What can I say.......it's a little girl! We are so excited and it is nice to finally know!

Steve kinda wanted a boy first, so when we walked into the room he told the ultrasound technician that we weren't leaving till she found a boy. When we started the baby wasn't in the best position to be able to tell the sex, but the tech said to be patient and maybe it would move. Just after she took the measurements of the belly and moved to another area......the tech paused the screen and then looked at Steve. She said you're not going to leave until I find a boy right? Steve said yes, and then she said that we would be there all night because we are having a girl! I think it took Steve a minute for it to register, and we both couldn't be happier!

The other day we took some pictures of the baby bump that is slowly getting bigger......have I mentioned that I LOVE my belly and LOVE being pregnant! I especially love the little one growing inside......I just started feeling her move and it is amazing!

Me at 20 weeks

Steve loves my belly too!

This little girl is already loved by so many!

Almost there!

We are coming down to the home stretch......over the last two weeks we are seeing everything come together. It is really exciting, and I just want to be moved in already! It has been a good experience, but not one I would like to undertake again anytime soon!

Here are some pictures that shows our progress.

Our back patio

We have a driveway now!

Paint is done!


2nd bedroom upstairs

I'm in love with our stairway!

Master bath.....we have tile. I love slate!

Master Bedroom

Our trim is awesome!

Mudroom is tiled too!


I can't believe that we are this close....I can almost taste it! Cabinets are going in tomorrow and hopefully tile will be finished by Tuesday (grout and all)! I am so grateful for my sweet husband who works so hard. He works a full time job and then goes straight to the house and works another full time job building our home! I am one lucky girl!

Honey, I love you so much!

(thanks, i love you too!)

What Do You Think?

So we find out what we are having on July 6th......what do you think we're having? We know it's a baby, but do you think it will be a Boy or Girl? Let us know what you think!
