To accommodate Trey's pending arrival, we did have to dramatically change the layout of our house. OK, no contractors were called in, but it still took 3-4 weeks to finish our room switch to give our newest family member his own space. This was a project that begun Dec 27 and lasted throughout January. It was major enough, that Dianna did actually go into preterm labor end of January (pushed herself too hard) and was placed on partial bedrest until Feb 17 (day she was considered full term). Luckily she was able work from home (Amgen Rocks!), so her maternity leave did not begin until Feb 14. Because of bed rest, finishing Trey's room did not occur until after Feb 17 (cutting it close for Dianna), so the past few weeks she has been frantically crossing off her list EVERYTHING that needs to be done before Trey arrives (Trey's room, car check up, taxes, etc. Including even a haircut and pedicure -- you try squeezing everything you need to do for the next ~2 months into 2 weeks.) Needless to say, with 3 days left to go, Dianna feels pretty good about being prepared for Trey... Posting on the Blog, has been on the list for weeks, CHECK!
Funny story: minutes after Mama Z got the go ahead from the doctor to walk around and enjoy the last few days or weeks, she went on a long walk.... it was pouring rain, so the maze of Ikea had to suffice. BUT she was able to purchase the final necessities for Trey's room. =)
Here is the final product and pictures of the other rooms moved around. It was worth all the effort!

Plus the garage was totally cleaned out to make space. We simply do not have enough closet or storage space in the house... so many items had to move to the garage, including luggage. Even though there is no pictures of the garage, trust us Gus worked his tail off under a pretty militant Dianna to get everything organized (thanks, honey).... and the final product is so nice. We officially have room for Trey! Zane loves his new room! AND we still have a guest bed! Any takers?
