upheaval!

This weekend was absolutely nuts, people! Our house was (and still is) in a major state of upheaval, as we took EVERYTHING WE OWN out of our living room, kitchen, and loft in order for Ryan and his dad to work on drywall, and eventually paint, carpet, etc. We also relocated our old bedroom to our new bedroom, which Ryan just finished:


This freed up our old bedroom to become the nursery/office - and currently, the makeshift kitchen:

Going through and organizing all of our belongings this weekend was no easy task. Take a look at just one of the mountainous piles we had to contend with:


Needless to say, the to do list before Elliott arrives is a looooong and daunting one, but we're getting there. Poor Ryan won't stop working even now, on Monday night at 9:09pm.

On a note of complete randomness, my friend from the library, Jen, who was due exactly one month before me, had a c-section today and gave birth to a healthy, 7 lb. baby girl, Ava Claire! I ran into her this morning when she dropped by the library before her operation, and we posed for one last baby bump shot:

Don't we look like we stuffed basketballs under our shirts just for s&*%s and giggles? Anyway, I'm so, so happy for her!
