Final Walk Through - TOMORROW!

Hi all,

The time has finally come and it's the week we've been anticipating since January.  I'm now 38 weeks pregnant, tomorrow is our final walk through of the house, Wednesdays is CLOSING day and Saturday is our official move in day!  I can't believe we've made it this far and how fast the time has flown by.  I can obviously have the baby at any time now, so i don't even want to say anything to jinx it...but we are so close!  On Wednesday we'll officially begin moving things in on our own we also plan to get 2 rooms painted before Saturday.  I obviously am 'out' when it comes to lifting things or painting, but I'm going to try to make myself as useful as possible. It'll all be thanks to kevin and our family & friends for making everything happen.

Kevin and I have been busy little bees lately!  We've been sniffing out deals to purchase all the big items still needed for the house. On Friday the fruits of our labor and the damage done to our credit card will pay off when all of these big items are delivered and installed in the house - a sectional couch, refrigerator, washer & dryer and kitchen table.  With the baby coming, we also wanted to frontload as much shopping as possible so we've bought so many other things like blinds, a ceiling fan, new bedding, a new bathroom set, rugs, etc.  I'm SO excited to see how all this stuff finally comes together in the house after picturing it for months! We've also had 2 baby showers since being out of our townhouse - you can imagine just how much stuff we have everywhere!  All of these items are all crammed in places like our cars, our in laws where we're staying and our storage locker.   It seems like our stuff is overflowing all unorganized everywhere, so we are so excited to finally get settled in.

Back to the actual progress of the house - it's DONE!  Enjoy the photos below:

As you can see- we are ready and raring to go!  It's obviously going to be a crazy week and who knows when the baby is coming - he can come any day now!   So we'll see how long it'll be for my next post when everything is all done and we are all moved in.  But we cannot wait!! Thanks to all of those reading and keeping up with these posts and sorry for my big lulls in between posts!  Wish us luck this week!
