Jacked Up Hormones Will Get You...

A Demolished Kitchen at 37 weeks prego!!! Once returned from Miami we decided to take our house off the market and make it work for the next couple years. Yes its small, but hey my folks did it with 3 kids in a house half this size so i was determined to make it work. But as my belly has expanded so has my claustrophobia with this house, more pointedly the kitchen. Yes its cute and has a little alcove with built in's but i need space and lots of it. So a week ago i started hearing voices in my head, "just do it tiffany, just rip into the walls, you have plenty of time before the baby comes, you are just as rich as bill gates so money isn't an option, your husband has plenty of energy after working long hard days that there is nothing better he wants or has to do with his time once he gets home, just do it." Normally i would tell the voices to go away and only come back when Nordstrom is having a sale but i decided to entertain them this one time...and this is where it has gotten me. but i must say, i feel a whole lot better these days.

I will keep you updated as to the progress and ya'll can keep your fingers crossed while i keep my legs crossed that we get this done before mister Henry makes his grand entrance into this world and sees his moms madness first hand. Ahh, those good ole nesting instincts, thanks Lord.

I so know where you guys are at. Although it wasn't nearly as late when we started the kitchen + family room + utility room work, there does seem to be a certain remodeling madness that comes with pregnancy.

We'll be praying for you guys, and let us know if there's anything we can help with!

This post made me laugh so hard Tiff! You are so nesting....except usually that involves putting paint on walls, or cleaning obsessively, or putting a room together, but you had to go and knock down some walls! i love it. You have such a supportive family too, to do this all with you:-) Can't wait to see the finished kitchen and little mr. henry. Hopefully in that order!

So good to see my family! I'm still not see the vision of the finished product. Maybe a couple sketches would work for me?!
Love you
