House makeover!

Adam and I decided to do a full house makeover this last month. Adam is such a handy-man and did such a good job with learning everything from: flooring, trim work, saw work, carpeting and more. Here are some before pictures:




Look how handsome that boy is!! It was amazing to have so much help with the floor. My dad and brother ben came over multiple days and taught Adam little tricks of the trade. Adam's brother, Ben came over and spent a lot of time working with him as well. Thanks guys for all your help!! Here are some after shots:

IT'S A GIRL!


Well, we just found out we are going to have a little princess in our family. We are both really excited and Adam has told me multiple times how he is excited to have a little daddy's girl. I know that will be true in February, but until then Livy is keeping me in my place by making me sick.


I am still working full-time at the hospital, but at times it gets a little overwhelming with all the throwing up. My friends at work made me this wonderful kit to help ease the pain. They also decided to tape puke bags to all the computers; man it helps when you work with great people! The tables were turned when I became a patient in the ER. I woke up one morning and felt so weak from throwing up that I couldn't move out of bed very well. I received 2 Liters of fluid there and did not have to go to the bathroom for hours... Can I say--Dehydrated!


This is about 8 wks into the pregnancy.


This was at 17 wks, now this is when I really started to pop! Adam noticed my belly this week and told me that I finally started looking a little pregnant.


This was just last week at 18 wks. I felt livy move this week, I was at work and felt her roll. I stopped what I was doing and she did it again.. That is the coolest, but weirdest feeling I have ever felt before. Adam is sure that Livy is trying to talk to him. He puts his head up to my belly and says that she is talking to him.
We are enjoying pregnancy a little more, but hoping to be able to eat a dinner without you know what.. I am trying to stay active by exercising and Adam is staying busy with traveling. We feel very blessed to have a sweet little girl in my belly right now and all I can say is she will be worth it! Love you Livy!
