Bathroom before and after

Here they are side by side

This weekend's project

This weekend, Dave and I about died of fatigued, but our bathroom looks amazing! I've wanted to hang a chandelier there ever since we moved in, but it has been pushed down the priority list. One- because it was electrical and Dave and I were afraid of that a few years ago. (he has since done a lot of electrical work on our house). Two- because no one but us usually sees the bathroom or uses it. But it was time. We also wanted to take out the massive flourescent lighting fixture and replace it with two modern ones and might as well paint the cabinets in our bathroom and the kids at the same time! Oh, and put a frame around the mirror too! (which was the easiest and fastest thing we did) It was a lot to undertake and I am feeling horrible with this pregnancy (only 3 weeks to go!) but we wanted to do this before the baby is born.

just a few shots of the kids in the chaos before church.


Dave preparing to take the lights DOWN!!!!

Lights down and splitting wires to hang chandelier and other two lights.


Look at those beautiful lights!!! The mirror was removed in order for Dave to put in an electrical box behind it to split the wires. I was painting the cabinets doors. Check out the awesome chandelier!

The finished product! We painted the cabinets, the kids actually screwed in all of the hardware themselves and Dave mounted the cabinets after. They were amazing helpers all day long and deserved the "Sonic the Hedgehog" game play and Little Ceasars that was for dinner after all the work was done.

Doesn't the frame around the mirror look nice?

I love the chandelier!!! After a crazy weekend of destruction/construction and trips to Lowe's, I cleaned up the inside of the house for a few hours while Dave and the kids cleaned up the yard! Phew! We were so glad to be done and absolutely love the results. Now we can have our baby. :)

28 Days!

So, the baby is a month away! I went in to my OB this morning and confirmed what I pretty much know for a fact....my baby boy is HUGE!!! I was telling Dave he's got to be around 6 + pounds by now. She felt around him and smiled and said that yes, in fact he may be closer to 7! These babies grow 1lb a week from here on out, so that should be fun! :) Getting ready for this baby is pretty surreal. I feel like a pro and am not worried about too much, but part of me also feels like this is my 1st baby all over again and I don't remember anything! I know it's going to be crazy for a while and I am psyching myslef up for that, but I also want to just take it day by day and enjoy the baby (if he lets me! :) I pulled a ligament on my stomach last night and so whenever I use my core muscles (constantly) It feels like stabbing pain. So things are fun and exciting around here! Dave and I are just so excited for a new little sweet baby. We are doing projects and getting things done around the house. The kids are always drawing pictures and talking about the baby. So hopefully I will have the baby early! :) If not, the 15th it is!
