______________

So we are getting there slowly but surely! My parents came round yesterday and did the decobewebbing and cleaned all the windows (plus a few other chores around the house). Life savers! I am so lucky to have such wonderful, helpful parents! Love them to bits. Mum is coming back next week to help me clean the house top to bottom before the baby shower too which is a huge help as it's too overwhelming for me to tackle on my own and I just don't have the energy, especially now it's getting so warm!

I've had a busy weekend and got  to catch up with a few friends that are not able to attend the baby shower. Today I've phoned around organising to have people come out and give me quotes on the new carpet and the air con install. Friday is going to be a day spent at home waiting for tradies to show up...I've got the carpet guy, then a warranty guy looking at our current air con (which just died) and then another air con guy coming to give me a quote to install an air con in bubs room. And of course they can never give you an exact time...more like a between this and this time..with a space of 2-3 hours in between! Frustrating, but needs to be done. And once we sort that out we can get the last stages of bubs room underway so I can get to the fun part of decorating.

I've found some cute canvas prints to hang on the walls which tie in nicely with our space theme. They come in the set of 3. There are a few other items in this range which I might also get for the room too.
