You can always click on this image to enlarge it , but I highly advise against it ..lol :)

My friend/old boss had been lovingly harassing me to get a picture of me on the blog so she can see what I look like with a big belly... more like a big everything ! Uggh . So Suzi I hope you like this cause this is the only picture I have taken and its for you. Cherish it cause this might be only one that I will publish :)

Whatever happened to our lettuce and tuna eating days.......???? lol

New pictures of the house

Our bedroom
Our Living Room upstairs


The Family Room downstairs

The Baby's Room




E's room again



The Kitchen! We are still waiting for our glass front cabinets . You can see our wedding dishes in the open cabinets now.

Kitchen again

The bathroom. This room had 3 layers of the ugliest wallpaper you have ever seen.

Our Dining Room. I love having a separate room to have dinner in .

The cozy fire place!!! We have used it about 5 times now.

This is the office/Drew's Beatles memorabilia room. I had to give him one room in the house right ? :)

I'll have to get an actual picture of this room. It is quite neat how much Beatles stuff he has.

Here are some updated pictures of the house. For the most part the house is where we would like it . We feel so comfortable here and love our new home!!!!!! All we need now is baby E. to fill it with his love too.

If you scroll down you can see the pictures we took of the house before we move in . It's only been about a month and Drew has done so much work. I'm so proud of him!

And we have lift off!!!!!!!

We just bought our new washer and dryer the other day. Drew was so excited to use it that he immediately got a load of laundry and started washing. After being upstairs for the majority of the cycle we all of a sudden hear the most unpleasant noise. The washer was shaking so uncontrollably on the spin cycle that it looked like it grew feet and tried to leave. The washer was so powerful that Drew had to jump on it or it would have been on the other side of the house . We now know that or floor in the laundry room is not level....this was a great way to find that out. I was laughing so hard !!!!!I thought this would be a good memory to take a shot of :)

Out with the old in with the new

We took these picture of our apartment before we moved. This was our home for over 2 years and we really loved it even though we had people on all four sides of us . Drew's parents lived in these exact same apartments right after they got married also ( pretty cool huh?) Because we had so many memory's in this place it was bittersweet to leave. Bigger and better thing are in our future now, but it's always fun to look back and remember the steps we took on our journey together.

Baby Nelson on 3D.

This is so cool!! I had to go to the hospital to get a level 2 ultrasound to make sure that my amniotic fluid was ok and that the baby's weight was ok . During this time the ultrasound tech gave us a 3D ultrasound ,it was the coolest thing we have ever seen. We could see exactly what he looked like. The baby is perfectly healthy and weighs a perfect weight ( almost 3lbs !) He is so beautiful!

Proud Homeowners!!!!

We closed on our house today!!!!!!!The house still needs a bit of love , but I thought that I would post the before pictures and then the after pictures when we are all done with what we have planned. The kitchen is getting wood floors(pergo), new appliances( there is no real usable appliances as of right now) new carpet in the family room , fresh paint and the bathroom upstairs is getting a new vanity. I can't wait to move in!!!

View from the front door

Our house!!



The kitchen. I can't wait to see the finished product!

The attached garage also connects to the kitchen .

The other view from the kitchen looking into the dinning room.

I have always wanted a separate dinning room and now we have one.

This view is looking at the living room from the front door.

This hallway leads to the bathroom and all 3 bedrooms.

The den and the wood burning fireplace. I love fireplaces. I can't wait to use this!!

This is the family room and off to the left is the bathroom and laundry room

This playground came with the house. Bonus!!! We have a quarter acre of land also. Dougie and Dolly are not going to know what to do with themselves!! They are going to have a great time with this yard as will we.

Another view of the house from the street . The house is a 1/2 block away from the Mississippi River!
