The reason behind the renovation

Besides the fact that our kitchen was poorly constructed and our house was cold.  And, even though we knew we wanted to renovate the first floor someday, there is an even bigger reason.  Are you ready for this?!

Nope.  I did not swallow a watermelon seed.  We are having a baby!! Wild huh?!  What's even crazier is that we are halfway there!  Our baby will arrive at the beginning of July - somewhere around July 7!

We decided a renovation was just easier while it was the two of us and figured it probably wasn't a fab idea to have a baby while living in a home full of dust and loud noises for a couple of months.  So, here we are, in the midst of a home renovation. :)

How am I feeling you might ask?! Pretty darn good actually.  In fact, I actually need to learn to chill out, take a break, and ask for help once in awhile.  While I don't really have any cravings, or food aversions, I do miss having a few drinks with my husband and friends. I'm still wearing my regular clothes with a few maternity things, like these pants from GAP, mixed in. I'm also still heading to the gym about 4 times/week.  I'm doing less weight lifting and more cardio.

Our world will definitely change, and I have a lot to learn but we are pretty darn excited! (and maybe I'm a little nervous. That's ok, right?!) 

I'm not sure that I'll transition into doing a lot of baby and pregnancy-related blog posts but as I learn things that I feel are worth sharing or find things that I can't help but love I'll pass them along to you all.  I'll for sure be sharing a decorating vision (or two) for our babies room!

Oh yeah... we aren't finding out if it's a boy or girl either.  We decided to be surprised because there are far too few surprises in life anymore and I'm sure there will come a point in the delivery room where I'll need a little bit of extra motivation.

Cheers!
