Basement updates!!

Here are some new pics from the finishing of our basement. I can't wait till this this done so I can clean things up. The mess is driving me crazy with my OCD. We should be able to start drywalling this weekend.

Basement Happenings

Since hearing I was pregnant we have decided to finish off the basement. It is just in the process and we have lots to do but slowly it is coming along. We have hired a carpenter to help us out but he just comes over when he is free so usually a couple nights a week. Here are some pictures to show some progress. Dave still has a lot of electrical work to do but it is so time consuming. By the time we are done we will have and extra bedroom, bathroom, office, and family room with added play room and storage area. We can't wait till it is done.

Eden's Closet

We are in the process of getting things ready for Eden so we have been pretty busy. We decided to get closet organizing shelf system. We originally had just a shelf with a hanging rod below it. Well we tore it out, fixed the drywall and set up the shelving system. We absolutely love it. It will provide so much more room.
We had to add a few extra touches too:) We have been looking for great sales and we have gotten a ton. My favorite store has got to be The Childrens Place.

Toronto

Last weekend we enjoyed going to Toronto to visit some of our friends. I don't have any pictures but I have some funny videos of Dave.

It's a GIRL!!!

I am so excited about this. I really wanted a girl but would of been happy with a boy....I just want a healthy baby!! Dave on the other hand really wanted a boy, but I know that the second he lays his eyes on his little girl his heart will melt. He is just a little lost on what to do with a girl :) So Tuesday when I had to work, I went to the ER to talk to the Dr. on duty. I had to beg him to do an ultrasound on me..how desperate am I :) Luckily he is one of my friends so I didn't have to beg too hard. So he gave me an ultrasound and that sweet little baby just wouldn't move in the right position. So he told me that he would give me another ultrasound closer to Thanksgiving. I just wasn't satisfied so I went back down later and was talking to one of the nurses and she decided to take me to ultrasound department. I would of gone there first but I really don't know the ultrasound techs at all and I am always working in ER so I feel more comfortable with asking the Doctors plus they love me:) So one of the techs agreed to give me an ultrasound and as soon as she started looking around she found her kicking away and could definitely see that it was a GIRL....unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to prove it but at least WE know and can sleep much easier at night:) If you are wondering if we have any names picked out We do. We had our baby names picked out before we even decided to start having kids. Her name will be Eden....Dave and I absolutely love the name:)

Girl or Boy we STILL aren't sure:)

So we still don't know if it is a boy or a girl. The Ultrasound Tech was 70% sure that she thinks it was a girl. She thought she saw something but couldn't find it again. If so SHE would not un-cross her legs. You think she was being modest or something:) So I am hoping that when I work this next week one of my friends that are Dr.s in the ER will do an ultrasound on me again to see if we can get a better view. Such a sad moment:( I am such a planner so this just kills me. We still went and got a few girl clothes but I am saving the receipts just to make sure:) Here are some of the pics that we did get. I guess the tech did tell us the most important thing which is that the baby looks healthy and right on track.

The first picture is of the baby's cute little butt. The second one is of the baby laying on the back with the legs crossed and in the air. The last one is the spine with the baby's hands under the head....how cute:)
