I've noticed that hydrangeas are quiet the popular thing to blog
about, so I've included my own photo here for you of our beautiful
hydrangeas, that I finally this year brought into the house for a
centerpiece and they do brighten up the inside of this crazy place!
Lots
of other good things have been happening around here lately. Phil has
made such great progress on a lot of "little" projects. We now have a
shower head and handle in the master shower, a toilet in the master
bedroom (a water saving dual flusher!), electrical outlets on the
exterior of the house, installed pendant lights over the island, and
added two coats of taping and mudding in the nursery to be.

The
biggest update of the week is that we had carpet installed in the
master bedroom!!! This means that we are working our way to living in
our new bedroom! We intend to have baby sleep in the same room with us
for the first weeks or months in a bassinet, so it is important to me
that we be able to move into the bigger bedroom before baby comes. We
just need to get a vanity, a closet system, and window dressings going
and then we can move in.

We made a huge trip to Ikea yesterday, but
unfortunately they did not have everything we needed in stock, so we
will be back next week too. I don't know what it is about me....I seem
to have the patience of a thousand souls when it comes to working with
children (and even their families), yet when it comes to putting
together Ikea furniture, I can't help but cry at the first frustration!
Thank goodness Phil was able to help me yesterday to get started. For
some reason when I used the online planning tool for their closet
system, it didn't register my measurement for the ceiling height, so
Phil had to make some adjustments. Thank goodness he is so handy!
Usually I just have to battle through my mental disadvantage when it
comes to assembling ikea things, but being 8 months pregnant gives me a
physical disadvantage too and we were working on assembly on the hottest
day in Seattle all year! Let's just say there was a little blood,
sweat, and tears involved. Ok...not so much blood, but you get the
picture. Just trying to get up and down to pass Phil his tools in
yesterday's heat and with my big belly was challenging enough! Ha!
But....I'm not complaining!
