He's Here!

Just a quick post.

Our little monkey arrived June 19, 8lbs 1.6ozs and 20.5 inches long. Life's been flipped upside down for Hubby and me but we wouldn't have it any other way. We're taking tons of photos but the fun and challenging part has been uploading them with a baby in our hands. This one will have to do for now though.

Getting Close Now!

We're in the home stretch now! I'm 39 weeks and both Hubby and I feel like we're ready for baby any day now. Baby on the other hand has other thoughts as the doctor is predicting that it's going to be late.

But the best part...I'm officially on maternity leave now. I'm really happy about this because my sleep schedule is horrible and it's nice to not have to wake up at 5:45am and trudge off to work. Plus around 2:00 I would get really tired and my production levels were definitely feeling it. But this doesn't mean I've been lazing around the house the whole time. I've been busy getting the nursery ready and my bags packed and now I definitely feel a little more comfortable that the baby could actually come and I'll be ready.

Our biggest project though has been the nursery. We bought a 3 bedroom townhouse so that we could have that extra room to eventually turn into a nursery. It started out as a storage room but I'll let the photos show the progress we've made in it!

Our fun angled wall


And the first colour goes on!






Next the green. It's starting to look good now!






Next came the furniture, vinyl lettering and the chair railing. Hubby was not a fan of putting up the chair railing on the angled wall.





And...the final product!








Now the only thing missing is the baby!
