Add-on: UPDATE

Kaylee has a new room.
Completely built, and painted.
All that's left is the molding to go up and the hardware for her closet.
[I also must say that my husband is rather awesome to have been able to pull it all off in just a couple of weeks.]
What a stud, he is.

And this weekend?
The hallway work begins.

A little (okay, ALOT) on the creepy side.

[I know that Sarah will especially be bothered by this post. Ha!]

Last month we went in for a 3D/4D ultrasound of Ava.
It was a free service that my midwives provide so we thought why not?
We got a few pictures of her and while yes, they are interesting looking and a little hard to figure out, we did enjoy getting a small sneak peek of what she will look like. (I actually compared them to baby pictures of Kaylee at 5 days old, and there is quite the resemblance - which was kinda cool.)

Here it is:
(labeled for those who need help figuring out what things are)

Now, here is the creepy part.

After posting it on facebook, a firend of mine called me and asked why "father time" was in her ultrasound scan.
I was like huh?

Lee and I then studied it for awhile and finally - what she was talking about, popped out at us.
Honestly? It did freak us out a bit, because it looked EXACTLY like a mans face:

See? Creeeeeepy - right?
I have had it posted on the fridge ever since, but the worst part is all I see now when I look at it is the FACE.
I actually have a hard time focusing on the baby.

Layton likes to tease me all the time that she is going to come out looking like an old, hairy man.
Um, not funny son... SO. NOT. FUNNY.

Because life isn't fair.

Bentlee has had his world a little rocked as of lately.

A few weeks ago, he got out of the house without us knowing and ran away.
Luckily Lee found him about 10 minutes later about 2 blocks away wandering the streets.
[Might I add? I never knew that losing a dog could make me feel like my child was missing but in my case - it does.] He was then held prisoner in his kennel for punishment and because we were afraid he would keep digging in the backyard when we couldn't watch him.

With all the rain/snow we have been having (yes, in MARCH) it has become a huge mud-pit back there anyway, and guess who likes to track it all over the house?
I finally got sick of following him around with the swiffer mop and decided to block his doggie door and just take him out to potty until the weather clears up.
Well, he isn't a fan. We have had a lot of company lately helping with the remodel and he will just sit at the window. looking depressed:

I find it kind of cute, but something tells me that he isn't finding it very funny.

Baby shower: SUCCESS.

We had my shower for Ava baby over the weekend.
Becca, Steph, and Tirzah worked extra hard to make it a special day for me.

It was all pink, and a great time.
I had fun catching up with everyone who joined us to celebrate and feel so much more prepared now.
The best thing of all? I only have 3 more things to mark off of the "have to get before baby gets here" list... and it's a fabulous feeling.

It's starting to resemble a room.

The add-on is coming along.
We now have walls, and soon we will have paint on them.
It's looking a little bit 'blah' at the moment but it is major progress:

Lee has been working hard at it and with the help of his friends this weekend  - they have us ahead of schedule.
Exciting.

Seriously, Where has my time gone?

Lately, (as in the last month and a half) I have been nothing but busy.

With work, photo shoots, a house to keep clean, errands to run, kids to keep up with, karate lessons, baby appointments, birthday planning, and living in a complete construction zone - I haven't had much time for anything.

I would like to say that things should slow down soon. But, they won't. The next couple of months are going to be just as crazy, if not more-so.

Happy to report though that the add-on is moving along very fast. Faster than I had first thought it would. This weekend we are ready for electrical and after next? Kaylee's room will be ready for paint and flooring. Super proud of my hardworking husband and our family and friends who have offered their helping hand. I have one excited girl and pictures to post soon of the progress.

Also, I have a goal of blogging at least every 2 days. I have plenty to talk about (it is me after all.) I just feel so overwhelmed lately with all that is going on that I can't find time. Whenever I am sitting at the computer it is either to edit pictures or to check my Facebook status. I MUST make more time... as soon as I find it, that is the plan.

Add-on UPDATE.

The addition is now in full swing.
I promised to post pictures as we went along so here are a few...

Looks kinda like a shed still but we are well on our way...

This is the window and door that was put in yesterday.

Today, Kaylee helped her dad for hours and even got to go to home depot with him to pick out her paint swatches and flooring of choice but, I think my favorite part had to have been when Lee taught her how to use a hand saw. She loked pretty adorable in her safety glasses.

Tomorrow, we (okay, not me - Lee and whatever help he has) start building walls.
