Renovation


So the up stairs renovation is moving right along. The mudder and taper is finished and primer is going on the walls as I type. Derek's parents are in town this week to help with everything. They have been a hugh help! The doors are sanded and painted, the changing table is sanded and painted, the built-ins are built but still need to be installed by Derek. The wainscoting and trim will be purchased tonight so that while Derek and I are at work, Keith and Jan will be busy painting that. The antique bed I purchased last summer will also be stripped of the many layers of paint and a fresh coat of white will go on that sometime this week. I think by the time labor day rolls around, the upstairs should be livable. This makes my stress level go down to a minimum which is great for me and the baby. I've been feeling great, just tired in my 32nd week. Here's a picture of Derek priming our soon to be bedroom.

This is the end of 30 weeks. Only 10 more weeks 'til my due date. I'm feeling great and am now seeing the doctor every 2 weeks. Every night I count the baby kicks and movements. I have to record how long it takes for the baby to move 10 times. Right now its averaging only 5 minutes, very active baby! I can't wait until the renovation is done so I can set up the nursery and our bedroom. I'm really wanting to "nest" right now and am unable to. Derek promises it will be done before they baby comes, I'm crossing my fingers.
