How time flies!

Here we are mid August, with many things that has happened. I thought I would be able to blog about everything since I was put on bedrest during my pregnancy early March, but never got to it- what did i do with all my time? watch tv and more tv and more tv; and a visit or two more to the hospital for some scares. And then on the same night that I returned from an overnight stay at the hospital, that night my water broke, and our baby girl was born on April 23! She arrived three weeks early!

The contractions were horrorandous, and I only had to endure 1 hour of it, while waiting for my epidural
I had great family support. But will back track the whole experience in another post. ( or you can click here to view the post my dear SIL wrote and who was also one of my support person: http://ourdivineprovidence.blogspot.com/2011/04/welcome-to-world-danica-lin-bajc.html)
In the mean time, here is a photo of the wee one taken on July 30. (dressed up and ready to go to a wedding ceremony)

Age 3 months: Meet Danica Lin

Living Area and Foyer ~ Before and After

Oh the hideous wood cabinet that stops you at the front door. And also blocking beautiful sunlight.
We just had to take take it down.

Skipping along...to the Nursery Room

Thought I'd jump ahead to getting the nursery room started. We ordered the baby furniture. The crib, dresser and night stand. It will take about 8 weeks for delivery...which brings us till the end of Aril, leaving me about 2 weeks before my actual due date! Yikes!

Here's a pic of the crib.



The nursery is set up, but haven't the chance to take a 'done' photo, because baby sleeping in there, and only chance I get to update blog is when she's sleeping :)
However, I do have a photo of her closet...check out the clothes! I will get a photo of the nursery very soon.

Long time no BLOG

It's been awhile since I last post a message...going back to September, we went on a trip to Cuba, and since then a new beginning is about to start for us. We're pregnant! Though baby wasn't made in Cuba, it was a great coincidence to squeeze in a trip before our lives become hectic come, May 2011.
I have a photo updates to make, bathroom mirrors for example have been returned back to Home Sense, my husband noticed that the glass was slowly coming off, luckily they took it back even after 3 months, good thing I also kept the reciept! Luckily, we found new ones to replace them!

This is the latest update for now. Be back soon.!

Great finds at SS, NEXXT, HO and HS!

Did you know Home Sense, restocks every Monday, Wednesday and Friday?
I was at Home Sense on Sunday, didn't find any mirrors for the jack and jill bath...but on Tuesday, a whole different story, there were tons of new ones in stock!

Here they are!





But fast forward to the future, after we hung these mirrors, the glass started to peel off, we ended up returning them for different ones..photo to come!


Found some great deals at Home Outfitters as well!
Matching bedskirt and Euro Pillow cases- on clearance for $5.99 each! The duvet cover are from Superstore, the brown and white decorative cases are from the NEXXT warehouse sale



And opposite the bed, are frames from KSP, shelving from the NEXXT warehouse sale and vase and candle from the top shelf is from HomeSense and lower shelf, candle and brown vase were gifts

...And the wall comes crashing down!

The goal for this weekend, was to move our two rooms into the new sparerooms, so we can make room for the new hallway to be built.
The progress of the job:










The dust was so terrible!! Oh the hate for it! That's the worst part of renos, is the drywall dust!

In addition, my or should i say 'our' dressing room is finally complete, so that I can move our clothes in! Needless to say, the new dressing room IS BIGGER and MUCH MUCH, better!
The easiet part was moving clothes from closet to closet, but I had lost count of how many times I've went back and forth, BUT I did note it took me 3 hours to move 99% of our clothes and get it somewhat organized.
Here is a photo of 'his' side. 'Her' side isn't quite ready yet.

Closets are in...almost!

Busy last couple of weeks.
It's pretty much crunch time!

Custom closets for our dressing room, from Ikea! Preliminary drawings and layout.
What a pain to load carts, and load truck then to unload the truck...I believe we had bought 62 pieces!










Closets are in for the Jack and Jill bedrooms. These are from Closet Maid.
