Closer to Completion!

It's been a busy and exciting week both for Luke and I getting ready for the baby and working on the house! There has been a lot going on at the house since I last posted. The siding and shutters are almost up so the outside has really made a transformation. The drywall is complete and the painting crew has started to paint the trim and the ceilings. Luke and his good friend Adam worked hard all Saturday to install lighting fixtures and get the house prepared for the next stages. Starting tomorrow, the flooring crew is going to start installing the hard wood and tile. The paint crew will continue to paint this week and add some color to the walls. Looking back its hard to believe what the house looked like before. Luke truly has a knack for putting this all together :)

As for getting ready for baby Dominick, I had my baby shower last Sunday and am so thankful for everyone that came and for all of the wonderful gifts that baby Dominick has received! The thoughtfulness and generosity of everyone is so humbling and it makes me feel truly blessed. Besides not having a house, I officially feel ready for the baby to get here! I have taken over my parents house and an entire room has been dedicated to storing all of the baby stuff. I can admit now that I am in nesting phase and have been busy making things for the baby nursery. Even though the room isn't done yet, I will be ready to decorate the nursery when the time comes!

Below are some pictures of the progress this week :)

This is me at 33 Weeks all dressed and ready to go to the shower! What a great day!

 

 

Here are some pics of the shower room set up. I was really happy with the baby whale theme!

 

 

 

The whale bedding my mom made! Love!

Can the clothes get any cuter!?

 

 

And here is what my parent's house looks like! Amazing such a little person could need so much. lol

 

 

Some of the things I have been making to go in the nursery to stick with the whale and nautical theme. I can't wait to see how the room will come together!
