Mid-September Update

Things are crazier than ever around here! Here's what we have going on over the next week or so...

• Friday, Sept 16 - My last day of work
• Saturday, Sept 17 - Maternity photo shoot
• Monday, Sept 19 - Painting begins at the new house
• Tuesday, Sept 20 - Last day to get EVERYTHING packed and ready for the move
• Wednesday, Sept 21 - My 30th birthday; Moving day (movers to load the truck and start the drive); Carpet to be installed in new house
• Friday, Sept 23 - Arrive in Oregon (hopefully) with the kitties
• Saturday, Sept 24 - Have truck unloaded and start moving in
• Wednesday, Sept 28 - Our anniversary! (3rd)

Wish us luck! As soon as I actually get to the new house, I'll post tons of photos (before, in progress, and eventually after).  I can't wait to start the nursery! And in early October we will have 3D ultrasound pics of Baby!

Baby & Moving Updates

I think everyone knows now that in addition to having a baby girl in December we are also in the process of moving from Colorado to Oregon. We like to make things as crazy as possible! 

Greg is already up there, staying with his parents for now, and working. Meanwhile, I'm still here in Colorado working and prepping for the big road trip out west (1,300 miles, in case you are wondering). So, I haven't had lots of free time to update the blog with baby progress and packing photos....but I will, don't give up! And, once we get to Oregon, I'm not going back to work, so I'll be able to add more house photos, nursery updates, and delivery countdown freakouts than you even wanted to see. 

Check back often. There is certainly a lot to keep up with these days and words of support are always welcome!

We're having a baby!

That's right, there will be a new addition to our house this winter. We are expecting our first baby in early December! Things have been a little crazy around here since we found out. There has been a lot of cleaning, organizing, and trying to make room for the baby. Babies may be small, but from what I've seen so far, they require a lot of stuff! We're making pretty good progress so far. The next big step will be painting the nursery (aka, the used-to-be-office). We're waiting until we find out boy or girl to pick the paint color. It's getting close: July 21st is the big reveal day! We can't wait! 

We've been really slow about telling people, but hopefully this blog will help us stay better connected with baby related news to all of our friends and family. Check back often to keep up with the growing Jones family!
