Week 29 - Home Sweet Home

This week, we took advantage of an extra day off work to move home. After 11 weeks on Hitchingham, we packed up and headed back to our little house in Adrian. We have finally finished enough projects that it didn't feel like we were coming back to a construction zone. Over the course of the past stretch, we have installed base board and trim, installed flooring and done a LOT of painting! We owe a huge thanks to Brian, Karrie and Taylor who have been able to give us so much of their time, talent and energy. Over the next few days and weeks, we plan to finalize the baseboard in the living room and finish some paint touch ups before hanging up some art. Ben has lived in the same house his entire life. So, all of this is very new and exciting to him. Kiersten, on the other hand, lived in 6 different places over the past 7 years. So, the process is quite daunting. If you've known her at all, you won't be surprised that hanging art on the walls has been allowed to remain on the to-do list for so long. Baby's room has been painted, and the pinterest board is coming to life. For now, everything is pulled to the center of the room, and Josie is still hanging out in there while everything else gets sorted out, but we figured we could give you a sneak peak of the color.

This week, we have received so many thoughtful gifts from friends and family. We could not be more grateful! It is so comforting to know that you share in our excitement and are looking forward to meeting this little one. While it looks like we will not be able to have a shower, we hope to see everyone in the weeks and months following baby's arrival when you can shower them with cuddles and kisses!

Week 34 - Home is where Family is

This week, we eagerly prepared for a celebration. With great excitement, we welcomed our parents and sibling to our home to celebrate: * Independence Day * Kiersten's MBA Graduation * 1 Year Wedding Anniversary * The completed decoration of our home! In the final days leading up to this special occasion, we put the finishing touches on our home, becoming experts at measuring and hanging wall art - something our house has been desperately missing for way too long! Believe it or not, we signed the mortgage on this little place in November of 2018. So, the walls have been in desperate need of some personality. In much thanks to the generosity of our family and friends, we were able to fill it with several meaningful items, as well as a few selections of our own. It brought us great pride to show off our finished space to our immediate family. We have taken the time during quarantine to truly knock items off our project list and make this little house our own.

Week 36 - Maternity Photos

This week was a mixed bag of emotions. Over the course of the holiday weekend, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and visit from our favorite photographers to snap some maternity photos. This week, we took the time to review and selected some of our favorites for you to enjoy. Photos were hard for Kiersten - this pregnancy has brought a lot of weight gain which is hard for her to ignore when she sees photos of herself. You may have noticed that the bump pictures quickly disappeared a few weeks ago. Its been difficult for her to get excited about documenting these changes. However, we knew we would regret not making the effort. So, we put on clothes that make us feel good, armed ourselves with some of our biggest cheerleaders and took some pretty great photos. This week also brought about some very difficult decisions. As we have maneuvered the past several months, the global pandemic has had a profound impact on this pregnancy in ways we never cou...
