Laura and I both had our 30th birthdays over the last couple of months. A lot has happened in those 30 years, and we’re expecting equally exciting years to come.
We don't look a day over 29!
Here we are at my parent’s house with a chocolate fudge cake celebrating Laura’s birthday.
Dad drilling in the drywall
Recently my dad enclosed the carport at their house into a garage/workshop. After insulating and putting in the vapour barrier, he had a load of drywall delivered. With the help of a drywall lifter from Home Depot, we put up the ceiling and walls.
After some taping and plastering, things now look pretty good. We managed to wrestle out his table saw from the back room, and once he gets a band saw, we’re going to put together a rockable cradle for the baby.
We have to get cracking though, the baby will be here soon!
The budding nursery and Laura's budding belly
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been slowly getting the house, and our psyche prepared for the coming of our new baby.
We have a change table/hutch, crib and rocking chair thanks to Josie, Brian and Nonna. We also have sheets, blankets, bibs and knitted hats, all home made by Nonna and Zia Lina.
Stroller, car seat and vibrating baby chair were given to us by Nadia’s sister and husband Anna and Vince, and another car seat from the couple who we are buying our latest house from. The green animal curtains in this picture were made by Nonna and Zia Lina.
Thanks very much to everyone!
Here are more pictures of Laura and her belly.
