Our New Place {Master/ Itty Bitty}

So it's been a few days since I've posted photos of the update on our new place. Here's a look at the master bedroom & my itty bittys room with just minor touch ups needed! :)

The mister all tired out from working so hard all day. Here, he just finished basecoating our lil babys room! :)

Aaand here's the paint we chose for the itty bitty! :) It is finished now, but at this point the mister had to go back & do the framing by the ceiling & stuff.

Now the painting is all done and we are currently moving as we speak! So the next update you'll see is the finished look with everything put away & organized. This might take awhile...

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

DIY // Light Bulb Vase

Check out this sweet little DIY project I found over at the Free People blog! They're flower vases made out of light bulbs & they are so simple to make! I will definitely be making some of these for our new place. However, we only use the white/frosted bulbs.. I guess I'll have to try out the clear ones! They would look adorable hanging in a window or something!

I love how she added the little fabric piece to the metal part! Super cute addition! Remember, you are working with glass so be careful! I'll post photos of mine as soon as I'm finished!

Oh, & I apologize for lagging a little bit with posts. Moving can be quite stressful & also, my laptop is going crazy. Long story.. but the mister is on it! Will post photos of finished new place soon!! :)

Our New Place {Update}

Here's a little update on our new place. As I was taking some photos of our progress, I realized I never took a picture of our entry way! Here it is...

Livingroom has the basecoat on!

Looking good! :)

Kitchen is complete with basecoat & two topcoats. Yes, it is white. That wasn't our decision. Pure white + Husband + where he works = no good. I'll just have to be extra OCD. :)

(And there's the mister cleaning up)

A look at the other side of the kitchen. Even the 1970s stove incase you cared. :)

The master bedroom & bathroom are complete, I will follow up with photos later today!

Everything really seems to be coming together! So psyched to get this finished. We have about 1 week left to finish all of the painting (including trims/molding), pack up the kitchen, clean up the apartment we're in now & move to our new little home. Um, it can be done... right?! :)

Hope your weekend is enjoyable!

26 Weeks & Counting...

It's amazing how this...

Turns into this...

<3

We cannot even begin to describe how we're feeling with it being about 3 months away until this little boys' arrival! We're so eager to welcome him into our lives and start our little family! These past 26 weeks have flown by so fast it's unreal. It just goes to show he'll be here sooner than you know it!

To have to go through infertility treatments, your mind is made up that it's never going to happen. We went through such an emotional rollercoaster. Will it? Won't it? When? Why? It's difficult to stay 100% positive when you go through something like this. The most frustrating thing for us was the fact that we, as a couple, were classified as having an "unidentified infertility". Meaning, there was nothing wrong with either of us. Just... nothing. All we could ask ourselves is 'then why isn't this happening?' It was just a matter of waiting... and waiting... and waiting. Then one day you hear a voice say 'it's positive' and you're so taken back by it that you don't even believe it at first. But then it sinks in. I remember pacing back and forth, up and down our hallway for what seemed like 10 hours until my hubby got home from work! I couldn't sit still! He finally got home, I told him and we hugged and held on tight for what felt like an hour! I will always remember that moment.

One will never truly understand how it is to have this little being inside of you growing and to encounter all of these changes and feelings. My husband & I instantly fell in love with our little boy since the first sonogram when he was just a teeny tiny speck. Seeing him change from a speck into a tiny human and feeling him kicking and punching just makes it real.

I can honestly say we have never been more ready for anything in our lives. And we both thank God for giving us this chance.
