Nesting Mode.

We have SO much to do before Baby D comes that my head is starting to spin just thinking about it!

 

From organizing to complete room overhauls, we have definitely got our work cut out for us for the next 5 months!

 

Here it is broken down for ya.

 

Justin is going to finish up outside before we lose our weather and I am going to start on the inside getting everything organized!

 

We just have a couple of things left outside we would like to accomplish.

We need to dig out the area where we want to put our patio

Add gravel and level

Start laying pavers

We wont finish this step this year but we would like to get it going so it ill be an easy finish next Spring.

We also want to add more gravel to the dog run

and we have posts set to extend our fence along the side of our house but just need to finish

 

While he is doing that, I am going to tackle every closet, every drawer, every nook and cranny and they will be cleaned, sorted and put back together in way that wont stress us out. =]

Main level closets

Kitchen junk drawer

bathroom cabinet

Main level hallway closet

Garage

 

After that is out of the way our goal is to focus on the upstairs.  We had carpet installed (more on that later) and are moved up there but it's pretty raw and boring!  We need to:

Add moulding

Create doors for attic access and to cover my clothes storage area

DIY some closet storage for our Master closet

Finish insulating attic space

Purchase and install bathroom fixtures

Purchase and install light fixtures for the two bedrooms

Repaint stairwell

 

Little projects I would like to tackle in addition to all this is to:

Add photo wall to stairway

Finish dressing the den

Adding curtain rods and curtains to the upstairs rooms

Decorate and finish the entire upper level

Decorate the nursery! =]

 

So there you have it! Lots to accomplish but luckily we've given ourselves enough time and I hope we can finish everything in the midst of basketball season and the holidays. 

 

Happy Wednesday! Does anyone else have the fall cleaning bug or is it just me?!

 



Baby Dobson!

Everyone knows now that we are expecting a little human in early March of next year!  We are so excited and I can't wait to share nursery decor and other home related baby things on the blog.  I really am going to try and be better about posting! I have a lot to catch you guys up on and now that the busy summer months are coming to a close, I can prepare for hibernation and more blogging!

 

My pregnancy has been so wonderful thus far.  I haven't had any morning sickness and am embracing and loving my growing mid-section!  Telling our family was so much fun and I love how excited everyone is for our little bean and how much he or she is already loved!

 

Here is our little one at 12 weeks and 6 days!

 

 

I've been taking a photo every week.  I should be doing some cutesy weekly thing but I don't have the time nor the energy for that.  It takes everything I have to peel myself off of my sheet in the morning and do something decent looking with my hair. 

 

We just take the photos wherever we're at.  I want to try and take a photo at a fun event each week like a family dinner, sporting event with friends etc. you get my drift. 

 

Week 13 was taken at work.  So not cool or interesting but that's where it happened.

 

 

Week 14 was a definite improvement taking place at our cousins party lounge to watch the UW Huskies game...

 

 

Week 15 was back in the office. My co-worker took the picture and I felt I looked semi-put together so I went with it :)

 

 

And week 16 was taken at my Aunts house during a family dinner!

 

 

I haven't felt the baby move yet but I am anticipating it happening any time! 

 

So that is what's happening around here along with a bunch of home related posts coming your way soon!  Stay tuned and thanks for being patient with me and my lack productivity!
