Progress...in so many ways!

So here is the first way there has been progress.

Need I say more? Five weeks to go if I make it until March 5th, my due date. I have this gut wrenching feeling I will be going early. Could it be that it is because we haven't started the nursery yet? Could it be that my parents are in Florida until February 29th? Could it be that I am feeling so large that I don't think my body can do this for another 5 weeks? The answer is yes to all of those things. Only time will tell. Oh and if you did one of those face cringes when I mentioned that we haven't started the nursery yet, don't worry. It is on the agenda for this week. Some how it will all get done. Now why haven't we started the nursery yet? Well that brings me to my next point of progress...CHECK THIS OUT!!!!

We are moved into our new kitchen...FINALLY. The last two days were the official move in and I got plumbing in my sink. I have cabinets, I have counter top, I have lights and working outlets. I have a stove, oven and refrigerator. I even have a microwave and ice (which I haven't had since we moved in July.) Just yesterday I got a working dishwasher and sink. Isn't it pretty? Now obviously there are still things that need to be done like a tile back splash, trim, kick plates. I still have to put together two of the chairs for the island. They just came yesterday. But look at the progress! Yippee for me. I am so happy and loving it. I wonder how many times we will rearrange our cabinets now that I put things away? OK, so it is time to move on to my final progress.

 

I actually did some scrapbooking two weekends ago. I got a lot accomplished. Here are a couple of layouts I worked on. I tried to use up a lot of stuff I had in my stash for a long time. The one thing I could not stop using was the clear arylic stamps from Autumn Leaves. I LOVE THOSE THINGS. That and my QuicKutz. Fun stuff.

OK, I am vowing to be a better blogger. But I might go into a slight absence while we prepare nursery. But my goal is a 10 day max until it is finished. Then big projects before baby are all done. I really want to tell you all about the new stuff that I have been seeing that is coming out for the CHA show in two weeks. Very exciting stuff. Some of which I have already ordered, some of which I will be ordering and some which I know I haven't even seen yet. I promise to post about that once said nursery is done. Can't wait.
