Sweet Lake Baby #3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hooray...baby #3 is on it's way! We are so excited! My due date is April 20, 2012 and we can't wait! At first, I was glad that I had 9 months to get ready, but now I just can't wait! Matthew had been telling me all summer that we were going to have a baby and he was right. Although he said it was a baby sister, so we'll have to see later if he's right about that! We were a little surprised by this one. We had really just started talking about it. We were going to wait to tell Matthew until we had a doctor's appt., but the day after we found out, he said, "Mom do you have a baby in your tummy?!" Both Scott and I were shocked! I wish I had a picture of the expression on his face...pure JOY! He's such a sweetheart and such a wonderful big brother! He just knew! Right after we told him that yes, there was a baby in mommy's tummy, he said, "Okay you better go lay down on the couch!" I guess he didn't forget! Everything so far looks absolutely perfect and we are all in love! Who wouldn't be...look at that sweet baby!
I've been sicker with this one. I was lucky enough to escape morning sickness with my first 2, but not with this one. It's all worth it though and it's starting to subside now. Hopefully we will know what this baby is in about 5-6 weeks! Scott's pretty sure it's a girl because of all the trouble it has given me so far! :) I will be happy either way...just give me a healthy baby!

Before and After #1: The Dining Room

So this was the last room started, but the first one completely finished for now. We will add pictures as we go. I am absolutely in LOVE with this room! When my mom told me you could see it from the road when the lights were on, I now leave the lights on in that room every night...especially because we got a new chandelier for that room (thank you mom and dad!!!)

This was their picture when the house was on the market, then it went to the tool room! Here's a cleaned up version of the tool/dining room before:

I absolutely love it! It turned out perfectly and I love the new chandelier! I've only been planning this out in my head since I got this awesome table almost 6 years ago and I'm so happy with it! More before and after pics coming soon! :)
