Time really does fly doesn’t it? In just 9-11 short weeks I’ll be a mom to a little baby boy, Dillan Oliver. We still have a TON of stuff to do upstairs, but Mike is beginning to make some progress. He secured the new floor in the bathroom and we set the tub in place. I must say, it’s a thing of beauty! So big!!! He still has to hook up all the plumbing and figure out how to make the surround work. The one we bought is one I fell in love with a few years ago but with our angular ceiling, it doesn’t fit at one end. It also lines up a bit funny with the design of the tub. We may have to exchange it for another one, which sucks because there aren’t any I like as much.
In the nursery he has all the insulation sized and what can be secured to the studs is in place. He ran new electric lines to add more outlets…can you believe a room that size only had 2?? He also cut up the remaining piece of damaged sub-flooring and has another piece cut and ready to go down. We’re waiting to see what’s going to happen with the a/c replacement before we can really finish the floor and walls. In the meantime, he’s been working on the bathroom. Hopefully I’ll have a place to relax and take a warm bubble bath soon!
It's in...just not ready to use.
Last weekend not much work got done since we were pretty busy with obligations outside the house.
- Friday was my friend’s wedding rehearsal and dinner. All her bridesmaids were giving a Pandora bracelet and charm. Now I want to go get more! Isn’t that how it always goes though?
- Saturday was the wedding and I was out of the house around 8:30 since I had to get my hair done and be at her house by 12. My hair turned out cute, it was a large bun with loose curls and loops. We got dressed at her house and took pictures (which I will post later tonight). The dresses we wore flattered all of us, even my 30 week preggo belly! The dresses were a really comfy cotton jersey knit with satin trim detail and a Grecian style top. Here’s me walking down the alse…
The weather held out and it got sunny and warm about 15 min before the outside, waterfront ceremony. It did rain a little later in the day, but no one cared since the reception was inside. All in all, it was a beautiful wedding and an unforgettable day! I’m so honored she chose me to be a part of it.
Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Dyson!
- Sunday was my family baby shower. My mom held it at the community center where my grandmother lives. It was very nice. Several of my aunts and cousins didn’t come, but I really didn’t expect much from them. They don’t usually go out of their way to attend family functions. The family and family friends that really cared about me did come and it was a lovely day. My mom, Aunt D, and Grandmom did a really nice job decorating and putting all the food together. Mike and I received some awesome gifts for the baby! We got our stroller and infant carrier. We didn’t register for them as a travel system since we figured it would be easier for separate people to buy them and not have to spend as much. We got lots of adorable baby gear and I can’t wait for Dilly’s room to be done so I can set it all up!
To top off the already great weekend, I got a return email from a lady I contacted from Craigslist. She had a glider and ottoman listed that was EXACTLY what Mike and I were looking for. He’s very particular about the design of the arms, they had to slope and not be uncomfortable to rest against. He also preferred the solid sides to the open, slatted design that is more common. We were looking at over $900 for the set if we bought it new. We picked them up in Lancaster, PA last night and saved more than $600!!!!!!!!! I’m soooo glad the lady still had them and was willing to come down on the price! SCORE!
