6 1/2 months already!

We've reached the 6 1/2 month mark this week!  Pregnancy has been such a beautiful journey.  I can't believe I'm almost into my third trimester.  We are having a little girl named Adah Grace, and we can not wait to meet her!  Here I am!

I love feeling her move around.  To be completely honest, feeling her kick and explore, was strange at first.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it!  But it was strange, ha ha.  She actually has the hiccups right now!


Alayna (our 3 year old) is getting more and more excited everyday!  This has not been an easy transition for her. She's had a lot of insecurity and questions.  To see her excited about her new sister on the way is a double blessing.  Not only is she happy instead jealous, but her excitement is evidence of a secure and content heart. 


Next week I'm going to start working on the girl's room.  The girls are going to share a room for a while.  Our home office is upstairs until we can finish our basement.  Most everything in their room is second hand, so get ready for several tutorials! 


My Project List:

• refinish girl's dresser
• sew quilts
• paint baskets
• put up decals
• make the mobile 
• refinish Alayna's bed
• make Alayna's headboard
• complete accessories 
• paint baseboards

Dax's Project List

• put in hardwoods
• touch up paint

That's a lot to do in three months!!  I work in a 911 call center and we are working through a huge transition.  Long story short, our call center is transferring from the city to the county.  Since I'm staying at home after Adah is born, I'm not transferring.  I'm going to keep working for city until I go out for maternity leave, just doing whatever needs to be done.  The transfer has been pushed back already, so I'm praying that everything goes through.  The last meeting is today.  We have been working twelve hour shifts for a couple months now.  Surprisingly enough, it's physically difficult on my body.  If all goes well I'll only have one more day of dispatching and a vacation!  I can get many of these projects knocked out then :)
