Finally DONE!

So i am happy to say the renovation are OVER!!!! Monday the closet people came out and built out all of our closets. The spray foam installers also came to spray-foam the underside of our house, so now our house is at least half well insulated ;-)

A few pictures:

New Pantry
(used to be our laundry room)

New Laundry Closet

Lillian's Closet

New Entryway Closet

New Guest Bedroom Closet
(closet is still filled with our junk but at
least its more organized junk, right? LOL)

I am so excited that everything got done before the holidays. Now I feel like I can actually relax and enjoy being at home while I am off for the week between Christmas and new years.

Work is continuing to kick my butt. Its just exhausting. But I've only got 5 weeks when I get back from the holiday break, so I should be able to make the last little haul. I am seriously BURNT OUT!

In pregnancy related news, I've begun experiencing some swelling in my ankles. I haven't had any swelling through out the pregnancy. However, last week after being on my feet for 3 hours while making oreo truffles, I had one fat ankle. This morning I woke up and the other one is a bit swollen. Not good, and definitely a sign that I need to stay off my feet more. sigh.

Exhaustion...

I am completely exhausted. I literally go to bed every night at like 8pm. The sad thing is that its not because I'm 32 weeks pregnant (<---btw how did that happen?!?), rather its because I am working 10-12 hours every day. I swear they're trying to send me into preterm labor. Its insane! I am really stressed, but I keep reminding myself I only have 2 more weeks before I take a week off for Christmas and New Years!!!! I can't wait for a little break. All of my sisters are coming in town for the holiday, so I am really excited about my little vacation.

My dresser has finally shipped from RH Baby. The very exciting news is that they just started their friends and family 20% off everything event, so I was able to call and get 20% off the crib and dresser!! 20% off makes the wait totally worth it! I can't wait to get the furniture in the baby's room. Hopefully it looks as good as I think it will.

We are also 1 week away from the house renovation being done!!!! I can't wait!!!! Next Monday the closet people are coming to build out the pantry and all the closets in the house. We also have the spray foam installers coming to spray foam the underneath of our house! We live in a raised cottage and during the winter the floors are VERY cold. We were worried about a baby crawling around on them, so we decided to take the plunge and get spray foam while the energy efficiency tax credit was still in place. After everything gets installed, I'll have about 3 days to put my house back together before all my sisters arrive for christmas! Its going to be a very busy week.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
