OUR ROOF IS DONE!!
Approximately 2 months sooner than we figured, and we haven’t even paid anything out of pocket for the shingles:)
My husband’s current boss is just going to use his current and future banked overtime hours to pay off the shingles so now we’re free to start the nursery^_^
I’m officially 6.5 months today!
The weirdest thing is, this has been SUCH an easy pregnancy so far.(knock on wood) Before deciding to start trying for a kid, Pregnancy always scared the bajeebus out of me. I don’t like looking at baby bumps(except my own hahaha vain) and I just figured I’d be one of those disgusting blobs who uses it as an excuse to eat everything I want and gain 50+ pounds and has morning sickness the whole time, edema etc.
But nope!
I find it difficult to just sit down and relax, I constantly want to get shit done. Spent my entire weekend off(first one off since July 2012 btw) doing yard work.
THE ENTIRE WEEKEND. Hubby had to drag me inside to make me stop. I then proceeded to menu plan,cook dinner and do laundry. xD
The only hard part though is gaining weight/getting bigger after working so hard to lose 30lbs in the first place. I refuse to get on the scale at home and I request not to know when I’m weighed at my OB appointments.Healthy? Probably not, but we all have our quirks I guess.
EDIT: Also, my feet are dirty from working outside. xD
Hey guys!:)
So, in preparation of Islah’s arrival in August, Hubby and I have started going through our storage/space challenged house and getting rid of everything we either don’t use/wear or plan to replace and cleaning like a mofo.
4 months before I’m due might seem a little premature for this, however, if you’d seen our house before we started, you would understand. xD
So, I’m going to try to do a room every day/few days since there is just THAT much to do. Yesterday I did our bedroom.Please note, we do intend to start some extensive renovations once our roof is finished in June/July.
This is our bedroom now;
Our little bed area in what was formerly, the small bathroom. We ripped out the old bathroom and the wall between it and our bedroom which gave us this little alcove. Than we continued the laminate flooring in there. The bed looks roughly built right now, but eventually it will be a pretty, handmade captains bed. Eventually we will also replace all our old windows, put up drywall, paint,make a DIY headboard etc.
Andd the rest of our little bedroom. There were windows at the peak of the ceiling on that wall but we filled them all in due to insulation issues during the winter. There’s a window to the left of that chair too.
Eventually I will reupholster that chair because it’s super comfy, but ugly.
Once the captains bed is finished, that tall dresser will go bye bye and a long feminine one will replace it The closet will also be ripped out, redone, made a bit longer and an actual door will go on it.
It looks a little bare right now, but compared to being over stuffed with shit piled everywhere collecting dust, it’s definitely a much needed change, and it definitely allows us more than enough room to stick Islah’s bassinet in here for the first few months while we finish renovating the nursery.
Also, my conehead puppy says Hi.<3
That’s it for this time!
I might start on our bathroom/Laundry room today.Another rough work in progress;)
Sorry for my inactivity lately everyone.
Recently (well….Not so recently I guess, it was early December) my husband and I received some exciting news and my posting sort of sat on the back burner for awhile.
I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant!:)
This isn’t the only big change coming in our lives either; My husband took a very lucrative job offer in the city, so he will be away from home 5 days per week, and sometimes for two weeks at a time if they have to put in extra overtime, so I’ll be going through my pregnancy and the first few months of raising a newborn by myself for the most part.
Now, having such a shift in my life, I’ve decided to sort of revamp my Tumblr. I will no longer be a fitspo blog exclusively.I want to start including everything from clean eating(okay…so more like trying to avoid shitty cravings-_-) exercise,my pregnancy experience,raising a child,home renovations and really anything that strikes my fancy….or pisses me off enough to need to get it off my chest:)
Hopefully you’ll all understand and will continue to show your love and support!
Oh my goodness thank you:3
I think this is the first actual fan mail type thing I’ve ever received ^_^
It gives me that nice fuzzy feeling in my stomach:D
