Boys Bedroom Progress

I have managed to get quite a lot more done recently. Thank you second trimester energy boost! The boys bedroom has been my main focus at the moment and even though it's not quite done yet we have made a lot of progress. I have painted their floor and my husband has installed some new wardrobes from Bunnings which are great. The kids also had a big toy cull so now all their toys have a place in their room. No excuses for messy floors (yeah right lol).

I also bought them a new computer desk and chairs and decided to paint their bookcase to match. I am really loving the bright pop of yellow against the white and black :)

Next is to install their new curtains and make them a house bunk to match the girls one. That may take awhile though as we have quite a few other jobs to do in the meantime and with Christmas approaching a lot of our money is going on that at the moment! 

Well off I go to finish filling the bookshelf :)

Changing Things Already!

Not a whole lot to report. We are still waiting on a time when the roofing guy and electricians can both make it so no work yet on the roof or electrics. We have however hung some new sheer curtains (Vivan from Ikea) and I adore them! They let so much light into the dining/lounge area whilst still giving us privacy.

I also decided to change the fireplace from Malay Grey to Vivid White. I just felt it brightened the room up more and provided a better contrast with the hearth and fireplace surround:

I also finally got around to painting the last wall in the boys room. I'd fallen pregnant before finishing the room off and have only just started to feel back to normal! 16 weeks pregnant today and my first hospital appointment is next week. I am really hoping my 20 week scan will be booked in then too so I know when we can find out the bub's gender. I have strong boy vibes so curious to see if I am right. I don't really care what we have and we already have two of each anyway but I still love finding out. Such a nice halfway surprise given I am really not a fan of pregnancy. I think that surprises people because of how many children we have chosen to have but whilst I love the result and am grateful I am able to have children, I still don't really enjoy the process beyond the scan and kicks. 

Off now to do the boys floors so we can install some cupboards and get their room tidy!

Great News

We've had two lots of great news recently!

Firstly our loan has finally been approved so we can get the house reroofed and rewired. There's been pretty much no progress of late because our leaky roof makes it hard to do any of the other rooms! After the roof and wiring is done we should be able to finish off the few remaining rooms. I cannot wait. As an apology for the stuffing around and time it took they also refunded us $200 which is interest we would have gained if the money had been in the account. It was a lovely gesture because I was pretty upset and angry about the hoops we had to jump through and the time it took.

The other fantastic news is that we are expecting baby number 5!! 

I am currently 15 weeks and should have my scan in a month. I can't wait to see bub again. We had a bit of a scare early on with some bleeding so I saw bub at 8 weeks, but haven't seen the little blob siince. We will also most likely find out the gender. We have no preference I just need a half way surprise as I am not a big fan of pregnancy haha. This baby will be the tie-breaker so all bets are on!
