Happy 2nd Anniversary to my wonderful husband. 

I love you with all my heart.

Our lives are about to change more than we know :)

Happy Birthday Aunt Mary (July 19)!!!

Hurray!  We finally got Internet and cable installed yesterday.  Oh happy day.  I am so out of the loop on everything.  JLo and Mark are divorcing? Wowza...

I went to the doctor again this week and all is well.  My weight and blood pressure remained the same, so I can be thankful of that.  I know more weight is sure to come in the next few weeks, but I've been very lucky to only put on 5 pounds so far.  Sounds crazy, but my doctor is perfectly fine with it and the baby is very healthy, so what more could I ask for. 

Joe and I are settling in more and more each day.  Zoe has been adjusting nicely.  My dad and Joe installed a "doggy door" for her from the garage to the backyard.  It is so nice not to have to take her our a leash throughout the day.  My mom and Grammy came over today to help clean the house now that we have just about everything in its place.  We still have a few random boxes in the basement, but not much at all.  My neighborhood is having a yard sale Saturday, so I've priced a few totes of household items to get rid of.  Hopefully someone will buy it or else I'll be making a big trip to Goodwill.

Big, big, big plans for next week.  My aunts friend Chris is coming Monday and Tuesday to paint a mural in Avery's bedroom.  I am so excited to see how everything turns out.  I know it will be amazing.  And anyone who knows my family knows this nursery is going to be over the top adorable :)  

No new pictures to post this week, but next week I will have plenty to share of the painting. Funtimes :)

29 Weeks

Happy Anniversary GiGi and Pop Pop (July 12th)!!

I'm very late with this post because we've been without Internet and cable since we moved into the new house.  I'm in Pennsylvania for the weekend, so now I can update. We love, love, love everything about the house and we can't wait to get 100% settled.  We have been so lucky to have soooo much help from our family moving in, unpacking, fixin' up, installing, decorating and organizing.  Here are a few pictures.



28 Weeks- 3rd Trimester :)

The closing of the house went smoothly last week and we successfully got the keys Thursday afternoon.  My grandmother, mom and I worked Thursday and Friday prepping the house for move-in day.  Joe and I drove to the beach Friday evening and will be here until Thursday.  We've been relaxing and spending time with the Ellington clan.  It's hard to relax completely knowing what lies ahead of us this weekend with moving into the new house, but we are excited to get settled in.  While Joe and I have been here in Swansboro my mom and dad have graciously brought the rest of our belongings that were being stored in their house and garage to our new home.  Grammy has painted the baby girl's room.  Joe and I are so lucky to have all the help prepping the house as well as all the family that is coming in town to help us move this weekend.  I promise to post more pictures of the house sometime next week. 

Here is a picture of the cabinet from Ikea that I don't even want to admit how many hours it took me and my grandmother to put together, but WE DID IT :)

Here is Joe and "his" fish.

Here is me @ 28 weeks- 3rd trimester :)
