Grant and I reluctantly decided to move from our current home to one that is about 6 blocks away. Why are we moving in the middle of July’s 110 degree heat, you ask? Because it is an opportunity that is almost too good to be true. As most of you know, we live in the Oak Forest neighborhood where the homes were built in the 50’s. Our current house has had a lot of work done to it, meaning no pepto bismol pink bathroom etc. but the electrical, duct work and other items are still the original or darn near close to. This means that when Grant’s coffee is brewing, nothing else can be on or when I’m doing laundry, nothing else can be running. I must say that while I’ve become quite accommodating to this no-good breaker box, it can be quite annoying! The new house has anything and everything you can imagine. The rooms are a little bigger, the kitchen is completely updated with granite and new appliances, electrical has been rewired, duct work has been redone, sprinkler system…. the list goes on. Thus leading to our big move July 17th!
Harper has been so active lately… what an amazing feeling! I will start my progesterone shots next week and am soooo not looking forward to it. But, anything to keep this little peanut baking is well worth it. Grant and I did have a few hours to go to Baby’s 1st Furniture this past weekend to make a decision on the fabrics for our bedding. It was quite a task but we settled on a green damask print, rose colored pink polka dot linen and a striped fabric. Below are some swatches that are close to what we were looking at.
This has the same color polka dots stitched on it.
As far as the furniture goes, I thought we had made a decision on it but after further thought I am not in LOVE with it. I really wanted the traditional crib look rather than the convertible with the higher back but it seems to be slim pickens since they are discontinuing the dropside cribs. Always something isn’t it? Who knows what we will decide.
As most of you are aware my granddaddy fell and broke his hip. He has had the first of three surgeries and recovering well. Please continue to pray for a speedy recovery for him.
More later....
