4 Weeks to go... and 8 Weeks to go

Time is moving so fast! ... but also so slow! We found out this past week from the foreman of our house that they are expecting it to be completed in 30 days - HOLY MOLY!!! Here are some new pics:
Windows in the Main Room

Our Garden Tub in the Grand Master Suite (sounds bigger than it is!!)

Us, just hanging out at our future home. :D

Also, being pregnant is starting to be a little uncomfortable, but feeling her move makes it all worth it! Now that I only have 8 weeks left of being pregnant I am afraid of getting impatient. Since we don't have much more than a car seat to bring her home in, I am getting a bit nervous. But, it helps to know that I have more time to get stuff.
31 Weeks

32 Weeks

The last picture was taken yesterday - so I promise that I am now fully up-to-date! BTW, thank you for all your comments! It makes blogging more meaningful and more fun! Also, let me know when you update your blogs 'cause I am really bad at remembering to check them out!

July is HOT!!!

So, I am now 31 weeks pregnant!! Hooray! The time has been going by quickly enough - especially with our house being built as quickly as this baby! I didn't get a chance to post anything last week, so here are the past two preggo pics:

29 weeks (...blurry 'cause Jason was making fun of me while trying to take it.)

30 weeks (like my dress?!? It's the greatest, lightest dress ever!)

This coming weeks photo will be posted soon... I have to take it first! :)

So, here's our house a week and a half ago:


And now.... you can realize our shock when we went to look at it this past weekend, when....

We have a roof!!! Holy moly!! It's coming along SUPER QUICK! They made a few mistakes in the initial building, but it has proven to be to our benefit: a 9 foot ceiling in the basement, which has given us an 8' garage door. They also gave us a bunch more windows than everyone else will get, but I LOVE IT!!!


This is our sweet garage! 12' ceiling, baby!


Jason's pretty excited about the 8' garage door. :)

Well, I think that's it for these past couple of weeks. Just a house and a tummy growing!

An Update of Our Lives

So... it's been awhile... :) I just wanted to save up everything to talk about at once!!! :D Well, that and the pressure of posting preggo pictures is getting pretty weighty. lol WARNING: This post is LOADED with pictures... so if you don't like pictures... well, tough.

So, I am now 29 weeks pregnant! Yippee!! Annabella is getting bigger and stronger every day. This part of pregnancy is kinda fun, as long as I don't think about being out of breath all the time and having an impossible set of hips that prevent me from walking! Here are a few pics from the past few weeks:

25 weeks

26 Weeks

27 Weeks

28 Weeks

Our house is also getting bigger and starting to show! Here are the last 3 pictures we have taken that show the progress being made (which has all happened within the last 3 weeks.)
Our Lot

Our House Hole!

Our Foundation/Basement

More has been done!

Jason takes control!

A cool drink for a hot day of work!

Something that happened that was super fun this past weekend, was taking my grandpa to Thanksgiving Point Gardens and renting Segways! It was seriously a blast - other than that fact that he scored a pretty gnarly bruise on his calf that swelled up to the size of a small avocado! (He wouldn't let us take pictures of it - but we got some sweet ones of him riding around on the segway!)


For those who don't know, we are currently living in my parents basement. Which, until yesterday, didn't have a bathroom!! My amazing parents and perfect husband, spent a lot of time this last week to make sure that I had one so I no longer have to climb the stairs 3 times a night! It's so amazing!!! Here is what it looks like - I am so thrilled to have one down here that I could cry!! :')


Spike the Plumber


So, some other fun and possibly interesting stuff that has gone on since I last blogged: I made 5 bridesmaid dresses for a neighbor (I designed them from a dress she liked, and sewed them - with the help of my mom and mother-in-law - inside of 6 weeks. It was INSANE!! But, I think they turned out pretty good!!)



This picture of the Homecoming dress I designed for one of my favorite people in the WHOLE WORLD!! The sewing credit goes entirely to Natalie Summerhays - the most amazing seamstress I have ever met. (I just found the photo and thought I would throw it on here.) :)


Other than that, I have been working quite a bit. Jason has been working crazy hours until this past week - which helps me focus on my own work. We haven't been hiking or camping or anything just yet, but we are still planning on getting back to our Alphabet Weekends! I will post again soon! :)
