Baby Bump, Tile & Toddler Bed

Time seems to be flying by so fast! Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks along!! Sometimes when I think about having two kids...my head hurts. No not really, I couldn't be more excited to be the mother of two little girls! :) We are all getting more and more excited for little sis' to arrive!
Baby "Bump" ~ 32 weeks
We love projects around here! When I say "love" I mean that there always seems to be an endless supply of them to do. Here is our most recent project (the one that kept us up till 2 a.m. last night)!! 
We have been wanting to transform this empty room downstairs into a little laundry room/kitchenette area. So a week or two ago we finally decided to start laying the tile!
Here are the before & after's...
Laying the first tiles...
Azuree loves helping her daddy! :)
If you ever tile, make sure to sit down and decide exactly how you want it to be laid *before you start tiling! I don't know if you can even tell, but part way through tiling we decided to change how we were going to do the outer border tiles. Luckily we hadn't laid very many and pulling them up wasn't too hard...
Before grouting...
And after!
Oh my goodness, seeing it all done gives me warm fuzzies! My wonderful husband did such an amazing job! He worked so hard on this for hours and hours and I know that he is *thrilled to have it finished as well :) Now we get to work on finishing the walls and cupboards! I can't wait till it's all completely finished...
And I don't remember if I ever posted about our bathroom tiling project...so if I did sorry, but here are the pics again. And even though it doesn't look like it in the pics, I did most of the tiling in the bathroom :)
 We finished this project in...I think December...
 Here is another one of my most recent projects. With the new baby coming we thought it was a good time to get Azuree settled in her new room with...a big girl toddler bed!  Yes, she is now sleeping in a TODDLER BED! (The crib can't be occupied when little sis' get's here, right?) Azuree is growing up so fast, I can't believe it! And it only took us about a week of trying before she was sleeping through the night in her new bed. I was very surprised that she adjusted as well as she did. Except I still have to put her in the crib if I want her to ever take a nap during the day...which she has decided that she's not going to take daily naps anymore anyways, so usually I just put her in the crib for quiet time *hoping that she'll fall asleep.
Here's her new room before...
And after a little paint.
Obviously the room is nowhere near finished yet. I still need to figure out what I'm going to put on the walls and all that fun stuff. :)
 And, of course, she is still adjusting and every now and then we find her like this... :)
 Random pic of Cub after playing in the snow :)
 Azuree and I went sledding with Uncle Christian and Aunt Melanie! Azuree had fun the fist time she went down the hill but then she got so cold that she didn't want to do it anymore. But it was fun while she lasted :)
Our good friend Aaron came down to spend a weekend! We went bowling and had loads of fun hanging out with him :)
 Sorry about the angle of this pic. Standing up takes so much effort these days ;)
 Yes, my belly is bigger than a bowling ball!
Boxes...gotta love em :)
 
 My two most favorite people in the entire world! I love them so much!
Until next time...ADIOS!
