Barnes' Room is COMPLETE!

Barnes' room is finally complete! I have been so excited about putting it all together - I could hardly stand it! Mom came over Monday and we went and picked up some finishing touches, went and had lunch and then came home and completed Baby Barnes' room. I am so please with the outcome! Gran and Gran Guy took care of all the bedding for us! What a great gift, and the Mimi and Pops took care of the crib.

Call me Martha - small creation by me and Gran Guy!

Only a small portion of Barnes' wardrobe! I am addicted to baby clothes!

Here is his bassinett! This was once mine ages ago. Now every gran child has used it!

Here is what he will come home from the hospital in - this was what I came home in too!

An overview of the bed.

Most fabulous bedding!

His precious curtain!

We are almost ready for him to come - well the house is - I am not ready for him yet! We had our first shower this past Sunday! It was so much fun - it was a Barnes/Carnahan family shower! I am super excited about my shower this Sunday too! It is so good to get to see everyone all at once!

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

WOW!

Wow is all I can say! Tonight we will officially put our house on the market! A little scary but I have faith that all will go well. Now keep in mind that I am only 8 weeks until my due date. Yes! That is right. So close. But I truly feel Lance and I are doing the right thing at the right time. As long as there is a roof over Baby Barnes' head for him to come home too then all will be just fine with me.

My fingers are crossed that we can sell and be in a new house before he is born. Wishful thinking, I know but sure would be nice to start out fresh.

It will be hard to say goodbye to my first "big girl" house. The house that Lance and I started our life out in. But comforting to know that we will find the perfect house for our future and for Barnes to grow up in and have lots of great memories in! How exciting!

This past weekend was a blast! Saturday we rode around looking at houses, neighborhoods and such and then had Emily and Jeremy over for dinner! That is always fun! Sunday we had both sets of parents over to see the nursery (not finished) and to have lunch! It is so nice to have our families near!

Well that is it for now - on to the rest of this Monday and then truckin on through the week. Busy and exciting weekend ahead!

Till then!

A little slow -

Better late than never - here is Baby Barnes at almost 29 weeks. I, of course, think he is going to be so freakin cute! But I am sure I have a trusted family and if he is not then maybe they will tell me! haha

I cannot wait to meet him! So far everyone says he looks like someone different so there is no telling who he will actually look like. The middle picture is a Lance pout no doubt!!! But then I have heard he looks like Hilton, maybe the cheeks and hopefully some big 'ole brown eyes! We shall see.

Well, I have really h igh expectations of pretty much completeing the room this weekend, keeping my fingers crossed! I will post when finished!

Until then . . .

A little slow -
