Shoes!

On Saturday my mom and I went shopping and one of our stops was Dillard's to try on shoes. My mom was trying on some heels and Owen decided that he needed to try them on as well. It was so cute that I have to post pictures of it. Someday he will be mortified about these pictures and will hate that I posted them on the internet!

Night out!

Last week we took Owen out to ChuchE Cheese for the first time. We meet Melissa, Lacey and the kids for pizza and of course games. Owen had a lot of fun. Andy and I were both very tired and out of it but it was worth it to see O having so much fun.

Baby Update!

Well I went to the doctor on Wednesday morning and I had not changed at all in a week. So we talked about our options and what the doctor would like to see. We have been open this whole pregnancy about doing a v back. My doctor was also encouraging that we would try for a v back but be open minded and just wait and see at the end how things go. This being said since I had not progressed at all we are now looking at doing a c-section. He does not want me to go over due and end up with a huge baby and I really don't want that either! So I left the doctor with the plan of seeing him again on Tuesday morning to see if I have progressed and if we would have the option of inducing, if inducing is not an option we will go ahead with a c-section that is scheduled for Wednesday morning! I am so glad the we have a plan and that I do not have to go through the torture of going over due again.

Our new house!

Well this last July Andy and I bought our first house! Now I have been pregnant for this process so it has taken me some time to get the house looking like it does now. I have slowly been painting and hanging things on the walls. So my mom asked that I would post pictures of what I have gotten done so far. We love our little house and have big plans for every room, but of course it will all take time. I have only posted pictures of the main floor and some day I will post the basement. Right now Andy is finishing the one car detached garage to be his office. This makes me very happy as I won't have to deal with his messy office any more! Right now the basement is 50% finished and we plan on finishing the rest and redoing some of what is already done. Right now our house in three bed rooms and one bath. When we are done it will be four bed rooms and two bathrooms. The house is just under 2000 sq ft with two bed rooms on the main floor and one is the basement. The plan is to add a fourth in the basement as well as that second bathroom.

Dinning room

I love that I have a dinning room and not a small eat in kitchen! We had Thanksgiving at our house this year and it was so much fun! I have painted and hung things on the walls in this room. This is the only room that has the wood floors exposed right now and they need to be redone so when we tear up the carpet in the rest of the house we will redo all of the floors at the same time. We will also replace all the windows in the house a room at a time.

Master Bedroom

This is our master bedroom. I have painted, hung new blinds and a few things on the walls. In this room we plan on opening up the closet and putting up double doors. For some reason we have a full closet and a small door so it is very hard to get to the clothes at the back. We will also redo the wood floors in out room!

The Kitchen

This is our small kitchen. I have painted the walls and cabinets. Some day we plan on doing a complete remodel of this room. We want to take everything down to the studs and start over redoing it all from wiring to new cabinets and flooring! Now this will be years down the road as we do not have that kind of money now!

Hall

So this the the hall. It is nothing exciting. I have painted and hung a few things on the wall.
