Kitchen

The deconstruction of the kitchen is complete and is now being built back up. My dad and step mom have wanted a new kitchen in this house since they moved in seven years ago and finally that dream is coming true. Josh and my dad took out the cabinets last week, the electrical work has been done, and now the drywall guy will be finishing this weekend. The goal is to have the new cabinets go in early next week! Keegan has been enjoying being the little helper. Whether it be climbing up and down the ladder, getting tools out or simply watching the action, he loves being involved.

Love you all!

Five more weeks!!!

Only five weeks until my due date!!! To many people that may seem like a long time from now but to Josh and I it's only a short while until we are parents of TWO little boys. Although we are anxiously waiting for our house in Illinois to sell, we are prepared as we can be set up in my parents house. I look forward to having the extra hands around when the baby arrives, Keegan will need lots of extra attention.

Love you all!

Happy holidays!

It's been a wonderful Christmas and New Year's! We got to spend a lot of time with family and enjoyed being together. Keegan is surrounded with a mountain of new toys and still gets excited every time he finds something different. His favorite is his new train set, we've even heard him get out of bed in the morning and start playing with the trains. I guess it's a good way to give us a little more sleep time!

The baby boy in the belly has been growing like crazy, we only have six weeks until we finally get to meet this little man. He loves to squirm and kick around, especially when he hears Keegan talking. One thing that I find very funny is that almost every time fishing is mentioned he gets excited and starts moving around. Josh is going to have his hands full with two little fishermen.

Love you all!

Ahhh, Christmas shopping! An outing to Best Buy and Old Navy turned into a meltdown. What I thought was going to be a quick stop to get some shopping done at an early and crowd free hour ended up being a stressful and tearful start to our day.

Happy Holidays!

Love you all!

Alaska!!!

We have made it safely to Anchorage Alaska. Keegan had a doctor appointment on Monday and he is a perfect two year old boy, rough and tough! He's still not gaining much weight but that could be because he never sits still. I had a doctors appointment my self yesterday and the baby and i are doing well. I have been having contractions over the past few weeks and learned that there is nothing to worry about unless they start becoming more regular. So I'm told to take it easy as much as possible and try to relax during stressful times, good luck on doing that! I also learned that I am far enough along (28 weeks) in the pregnancy to start doing appointments every two weeks instead of every four. This pregnancy is going by fast, before I know it we'll have another beautiful baby boy in our family.

Love you all!

Tonight we are having a party to celebrate... well everything, Josh's birthday, my birthday and us moving. We figure this way we get a chance to see everyone again before we leave in two weeks.

I am very excited to share that we did get an offer on the house. We are currently in negotiations and hopefully we can be in contract soon! Keep everything crossed that it goes well.

I'll let you know as soon as I have more information.

Love you all!

Happy 28th Birthday Josh!

This last week we have had an open house and two very promising showings. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone will put in an offer soon. Keeping the house at show quality has been a bit of a struggle for me. My belly has grown a lot in these past few weeks and is making house cleaning more of chore than normal. Plus, an active two year old doesn't get the concept of keeping things clean.

I had a doctors visit on Thursday and the baby is doing well, he's growing big and strong. We did learn of one small issue and will be doing another test in a week to see if things have changed, but until we get those results back we have nothing to stress about. Josh however is someone to stress about. He had a very long trip (from work to Anchorage) to the doctors office to learn that he has kidney stones. He seems to be holding up well at work, but is excited to come home next week.

Love you all!
