Baby Gifford's New Home

When we found out Baby G was coming into our lives, we knew we had to start house shopping.  Unfortunately, everything on the market wasn't what we had in mind.  So, our realtor gave us the option of building a house...yes, building a house.  Are we crazy to be building a house when I am pregnant?! Probably, but it sure has been fun!  So far, we have picked out anything and everything for the house.  Interior, exterior, land, and all!  It only took us three hours with the house designer to pick out everything we "wanted."  Then it took us a few days to figure out what we could live without so the house would be able to appraise.  Alex and I had to compromise on a few things, but we have some of the same tastes so it wasn't too hard.  Right now they are working on getting the permits to build the house...it seems like it is taking forever!  They tell us the house could possibly be built by Memorial Day weekend, but I'm not getting my hopes up.  I just want to make sure it is done so I have time to paint and decorate the baby's room!
