The Hole in the Wall....

For over three years I have been begging DH to knock this wall out! As "everyone" knows light sells in real estate :) and I could not stand how dark our living room always was! So low and behold DH gets it into his head that we need the hole done before the babies get here because of all the mess with the drywall ect ect. Once again a project started....a MAJOR mess made...and then a very very happy wife!

Here are the before, during and after pics. And yes that is a load bearing wall and yes those jacks are holding up my third floor :/

15 days to go....

15 days to go until the boys make their arrival....unless they plan an early escape which I am thinking is not going to happen since they seem so comfy in there. It hit me last night that in 15 days I am going to be a Mom!!! How crazy is that. It all just seems so surreal and I still am still looking at my life from outside the window. We are almost ready for them with the house and I just need to order a rug for their bedroom and make a few returns to BRU for some last minute items. We are going to install the carseats this weekend and put together all the strollers and little items to make sure we know what the heck we are doing.

I am feeling a bit usless in all of the physical activities since my movement is so very limited with how big the boys are already plus they are both now laying transverse so I have all their weight on my pelvic and hip bones....not a comfortable feeling at all! I also have hung up my truck keys till these babes arrive for the safety of myself and others. My belly is just to big to be behind a steering wheel and my legs are not long enough for it to be comfortable or safe. Poor DH is now on grocery store duty..something that he does not enjoy at all! I am trying to keep the list as basic as possible but it is just so hard!

So 15 days and counting......till life is totally and completely different....AND I CAN'T WAIT!

Spring is Here...

What amazing weather we have been blessed with over the last few weeks. Perfect 75 -80 degrees with just a hint of summer and nice breezes. The pollen has finished falling, the "yellow snow" that has covered most of the Lowcountry is gone and all the sneezing has stopped! For two very happy golden retrievers it means more than just a pretty day...it means POOL TIME! Yes my friends the cover has come off and a daily swim or two is now just a part of the day...at least for the dogs right now. The will have the luxury of having the pool to themselves for a few more weeks while we wait for it to really warm up for us.....

I think this picture speaks a thousand words of their lives!
