Spring Fever!!

I love love love the Spring..for so many reasons and this year even more reasons..
1) Lil G is right around the corner!
2) I am ready to be outside more at events/concerts/walking, etc
3) I am ready to wear my cute maternity clothes (i.e. dresses!!)

Spring brings along so many fresh, nice feelings in addition to nicer weather and beautiful flowers. And boy does our yard need some color and attention right about now! It also makes me crazy to do some home projects..I totally get that side of myself from my mom, no question, and luckily Matt is happy to join the chaos.

The in-laws come in town this weekend and with my family or Matt's family, we are always making sure we have some great projects for the moms/dads to do. They insist and we do NOT stand in their way! So, we have a few projects for baby room to do, for example, building the corner shelf that will hold Matt's new flatscreen tv and DirectTV box in there..I can't lie, I am going to LOVE having that in there come feeding and rocking time. I think we mostly love DirectTV's music channels & look forward to singing along to Lil G..whether she likes it or not, haha!

In addition to all these new expenses we'll start to incur like baby items, childcare, etc, we've decided to also move forward with our long-awaited porch renovation project- this Saturday! I think with Baby G coming and knowing we'll be spending more time at home now then out, we figured there's no better time than the present:) I also truly believe in investing in things that will make you happy in the long (or short) run and will make life more enjoyable. *We also hope of course this may add a touch of value to our house or at least recoup the costs, but if not, I KNOW it will become our second living room & for us, that is enough:) I can just see us now..Matt and I lounging with our feet up, food on the grill, drinks in hand and Lil G in her bassinet hanging out right next to us:)

P.S. Lil G name announcement coming next post!
