New Additions at the McDermott's!!!

It has been 3 months since our last post and so here is our attempt to catch you up on what we've been doing.

Starting with our soon-to come addition:  Deacon James McDermott!! 



Deacon would not hold still for long during his 3D ultrasound... It was fun to be able to feel/see him move around my belly while watching him on the TV screen!! So that's what he is doing in there when my tummy goes bump!!!  He was holding on to the umbilical cord and wouldn't stop moving to get some really good pics but this one will hold us over until he makes his grand entrance May 26th (or sooner would be totally cool with me) and we couldn't be more excited!  We are already totally in love with the little guy... we just haven't met him yet!!  I guess we cheated by doing the 3D ultrasound (and totally wigging out our parents who "can't believe this kind of technology is possible because back when we were having babies.....")  but we just couldn't resist another look at this little wiggler!! We think he has my nose and lips... hopefully we will be able to see more of his daddy in him when he is officially here!!   It has been fun to watch the little guy grow and thought you might like to see how he has changed his moms tummy since week 16! ...I can't wait to look like that again!!!

We have almost finished the nursery (pictures to come soon) but the office project has FINALLY been completed so we thought we would show you how it turned out! It looks fabulous and I am so proud of James and all of his hard work!  I remember him telling me he was freaking out when he took out the door jamb thinking he didn't know what he was doing- the next thing we know, the room was completely gutted and there was no turning back!!! He did a great job learning how to use all the tools he has been collecting over the past few years but it might be a long while before we jump into another big project like that!!




To catch the full effect of the whole start to finish ordeal that started as "just adding French Doors to open up the space and make it seem more like an office"...watch the slide show!!!

Wow, James, you've got serious skills, man! That was an amazing renovation project. I like that you got to keep your Rock On statue in that room as a mark of your hard work! :)

Cute baby boy, too. Can't wait to see him in person.

Wow. Really. Awesome. Talk about a sweet work space. Definitely a huge improvement over the paint around the closet look :) I love the doors!
