a new home for the wee babe

two weeks ago, Dave and I did something we've been wanting to do for years. we MOVED! yes, after 7 1/2 years in our apartment we decided the time had come. so we looked for condos to rent, since we aren't ready to buy yet, but came up short. as in, there was nothing i was willing to drop $5K on for a security deposit.

so we lamed out and moved next door. yes, i know. anticlimactic. but truly, i can't even tell you how much I HATE MOVING. and moving while pregnant, even early on, is no fun. i dread packing and purging and risking the beauty of my items to nicks and dents. but next door offered a two bedroom, totally remodeled, and for not much more than what we were paying for our 1 bedroom. and it had been vacant for over three months. so i kinda figured it was meant to be. it took the pressure off finding a new place in our price range, and definitely relieved me from moving anxiety.

so here's to our new home! the wee babe will have her own room (and bathroom- ooo, schnazzy!). here's the tour:

our bedroom, complete with accent wall. luckily, the people before us had decent taste and kept the walls nice. so when they moved out, they left them painted for us!

kitchen. newly refaced cabinets, even though they are a tad smaller than our old ones.

living room- new entertainment unit!

my "desk area" in our bedroom. this is before i got a chair :)

dining room

and finally, the wee babe's room! see our lovely decorations? a light and Dave's old Care Bear. i'm not sure what color the nursery will be the current color ain't half bad. i'm really excited to have room to nest now, and will keep you posted on what nursery plans i come up with!
