We were excited to see the house this weekend, they've done quite a bit. The fireplace is in progress - just missing the topper and the hearth. The mantle is covered with cardboard, but is really a very dark brown.
They've also installed lights, some granite and started staining some of the cabinets. Everything is coming together and we're expecting to close in about a month.

Latest House News
The house is still coming along. When we were there this weekend, the major thing that has been done since my last update was paint – although it wasn’t completely finished. They’ve also fixed some minor things we pointed out with the cabinets (for instance we wanted one of the cabinets to be hinged on the opposite side). They installed the laminate counter for utility room sink and the cultured marble counters in the secondary bathrooms (although they are the wrong color).
I believe they are still figuring out what to do about the cabinet stain for the maple cabinets since they were supposed to be getting us a new sample and we haven't heard from them. I’m guessing the granite counter tops won’t be installed until after that is done. I think they are also about to do the fireplace. There was a picture of what it’s supposed to look like hanging on the wall when we were there this weekend.
They’ve currently given us an estimated closing date of December 28th, which is later than we were hoping. However, we don’t want to rush them and we’ll certainly need to make sure everything is complete before we close.

Latest Baby News
Here’s a picture of the nursery bedding/décor that we decided on. I like the vibrant colors the most and of course the animals are cute. I found a crib and rocking chair that I like, but have not made a definite decision on those yet. We won’t be in the market to actually buy those larger items until we move, so depending on if they are available at that time or we find anything else, we’ll see.
As for myself, I’m definitely into maternity clothes now – mostly due to pants. I’ve been feeling movements and Gary even got to feel it one night even though the doctor said it would be a few more weeks before he’d be able to. That was cool.
We both got our flu shots last week which were highly recommended by my doctor. Apparently getting the flu when pregnant is a very bad thing. It was also recommended that Gary get one for once the baby arrives.

It's a Boy!
I had an ultrasound earlier this week and we found out it's a boy. We also got to count ten toes - hee hee. He was laying looking up, so we didn't get the typical profile shot. We also got a clear picture of his foot and of his hand pointing. It was cool.
We've officially started buying baby things also. This was a big step since shopping has been so overwhelming! I mean I've shopped for baby gifts before, but ya know... there was normally a registry to choose from - lol. Now we are the ones figuring out the choices. I've definitely been looking for advice from family and friends and I've had some great info from several people.
Of course, It's all exciting but I can't believe I'm almost halfway through pregnancy already (Sunday is the official halfway mark).
