The Day, Or Maybe Not.

Today is baby Eliana's due date. But, just like with Ben, I wouldn't be surprised it will turn out to not be "the" day. =/

Kitchen Remodel (Part 3)

And now to finish pretty much where we have since left off of the kitchen. I have yet to take FINAL pictures since some trim still needs to go up and some minor but important details have yet to be done.

But, I LOVE my new kitchen! I love the new set up with the opening that connects the kitchen to the rest of the house. And I LOVE my dishwasher! The kitchen is not the mess it once was =) 

Kitchen Remodel (Part 2)

That first day was crazy! I didn't do much, since most of it was real hard work and heavy stuff. I didn't realize we were going to get to the studs O.o This project looked bigger than I had imagined! But after you break your kitchen you HAVE TO build it again. There is no turning back =) I was seriously doubting we were going to make this project stay under $2000 (my goal...Isaac was more realistic, though he let me hope and believe lol!) 

And the work continues! We (Isaac) finished tearing our the floor. 

Kitchen Remodel (Part 1)

I know I have not updated this in such a long time. Well, being busy and tired doesn't encourage updating blog. But, I did take lots of pictures of our kitchen remodel :)

This was something that needed to get done the moment we moved into this house. But it waited till now that we were able to. We sent the boys away for 5 days that turned to 9 O.o It was a long time! And we still weren't fully finished when they came home. And we still have a few little details to finish up, but our kitchen is up and running, mostly :) I do love it! Being our first ever kitchen gut-the-whole-thing and rebuild, I think that it turned out exceptionally well. Isaac is quite amazing, though he does have his limitations hahaha! He worked so hard and was so exhausted after two weeks of this ( and then we had to do the bathroom too 0.0 ). Long long days of little sleep and lots of work and no running water and cold water =) Great memories! 

SO! Here it is! the ORIGINAL kitchen when we moved in. Just look at that...potential yes, but not my dream kitchen! What I didn't know, was how much work it would be to change it. 

Back! A quick update...

I hadn't realized how long it's been since I have really sat down and done a picture post! I am finally pretty much out of the nausea stage. All three of my pregnancies have been almost identical in this. I start feeling bad like a light switch almost around my 8th week and have good and bad days and horrible days till about my 18th or 20th week. At least now after three, when there is a next ( I almost want to say if, but I know it's when lol! Because deep inside though I'm not fond of pregnancies, I know I'm not done with three), I will know how to plan and to try to have help for the 10 to 12 weeks I'm totally out of service!

Rough Days...

So sorry I have not been posting as I should. I have been feeling pretty sucky lately. Between being nauseous and tired, I'm not getting much done around my house at all. I just take care of the boys, and even that is a challenge many days.

But things are looking up! Our church is helping us with meals for a few days, and then Isaac's sister is coming down to help for a while. I can't wait till I feel better, but having someone else here will be such a great thing!

Bad Colds and Sick Ben

I am up late...early, I should just be closing my eyes. But Isaac and I got up at midnight to check Ben and I am awake now. Ben had a fever suddenly Saturday evening. I hadn't been feeling well either Saturday, and really didn't feel well yesterday. I don't have  sore throat just a lot of congestion. It's rather frustrating since I JUST was sick for two weeks it seemed 5 weeks ago.
