Where Has The Time Gone!

It's crazy..I can't believe that the last time I wrote was in February. I guess after having Eden I got so caught up with her I just didn't have the time to sit and blog. In case no one knew, I had Eden Janielle Cischke March 2nd. She was a week early but I was more than ready to have her out...if I only would of known;) I might of just kept her in. j/k. It was an experience that I will never forget even though so many mothers say you will forget the pain...I BEG TO DIFFER. It was the worse pain I have ever had in my entire life and I choose not to do it again any time soon. I had an all natural delivery with only Stadol which only took a slight edge off. Eden was a whopping 8 lbs 7 oz of pure love. I pushed for 2 hours. I was exhausted...but in the end I had a beautiful little girl that now I can't keep my hands and lips off from with all those amazing rolls.

It was a rough start due to the fact that while I was having Eden our Dodge Ram got stolen at the hospital, but not just the truck but the car seat and diaper bag with all of it contents. It definitely was not a day that I will ever..EVER forget;) They ended up finding the truck a week later downtown Detroit stripped...The insurance chose to pay almost $10,000 to fix it back up.

It is so hard to believe that Eden has been in this world for over 5 months now. She has changed so much and is doing many new and exciting things everyday. She is sitting up on her own even though she does get a little tipsy at times. She started rolling over a few weeks ago. Overall, I wouldn't change anything...well maybe somethings....but I love her so much and am glad she is part of our family

STARTING EDEN'S ROOM!!!!

My sister has this dying urge to decorate everything in site. So has been wanting to do Eden's room for a long time now but I didn't know exactly what I wanted until a couple weeks ago. I just wasn't happy with any of Babies R Us bedding so I went to Pottery Barn and found exactly what I wanted. It is so beautiful. Before the bedding can go in Janielle painted the room for me but we still have to put up the chair rail. Dave put up a chandelier with pink little jewels. It is going to be such a princess room. I will take more pics when things get a little more finished. It is just exciting she could come in just a few weeks. We can't wait to meet her.

IT AINT OVER UNTIL THE FAT LADY SINGS!!!

I absolutely love, love, love our basement. It is coming along so nicely. Yeah it's not done yet but we do see an end in sight. We have a few more doors to put up then our carpet comes in this next week. My brother-in-law and husband just finished the flooring in the office which I love and my dad and grandpa came down and put up 3 of the door for the rooms. Only 4 doors left and 1 closet door. Dave painted all the rooms and I felt so bad but it was not the right color so he painted it all over again. I have a great husband. How many husbands would do that for their pregnant wife. Now the color is amazing. We still have to paint in the hallway going up the stairs but it all will come in time.

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.
