The clean up begins.

The painters finished up yesterday. Their work is amazing! We were so happy with them. We ended up also hiring them to do all our doors and a couple of ceilings. We thought the doors were fine until the trim was done and we saw the difference. It was a pretty penny to have it all done but the quality of the work and being done in 5 days was worth it to us.

Today we are working as a team to get things back in order. The pantry was a huge job/utility room was a huge job to get back in order but it is finished. I love to work as a team. The boys are with their dad and so this child free day is once again doing our projects however we are thrilled to be progressing. Monday I have someone coming from Costco for a couple of special order blinds and Tuesday our new furniture is being delivered! We got an amazing deal at Dillards. On clearance plus 40% off!!! The favor of the Lord was upon us! We got a leather couch, 2 leather chairs and a ottoman, tax and delivery for the price of most couches. We are so grateful! How awesome is it that the Lord cares about all those details in our life enough to move on our behalf. Blows me away!

Our next focus is getting the blinds up and the rooms situated. After that we have to figure out how to make our study work for all of us. Personally I am stumped how to make it workable for all our needs.

God is good and we know he will be faithful in walk us through all these decisions as we make our house our home. Our goal is to have as much done as possible by Thanksgiving. That way we can enjoy the holidays and welcome our little one this winter. I have also heard that nesting, cleaning and organization can help with PPD. I had a little with my first son and none with my 2nd son so that encourages me as we prepare for this little one. I have thought I felt some movement but I am not sure. I am so ready to feel the baby moving around.
