I've Been Bad

I've been bad. I've purposefully been neglecting this blog for the last week. It's because I knew I had photos on my camera I wanted to post and yet I forgot to upload them...but not today.

First of all here's an update on me at 19 weeks along:


Quite the little bump started there. Since the ultrasound I've been noticing a lot more movement in the tummy then before. I keep waiting for the little monkey to punch hard enough that Hubby will be able to feel as well but nothing yet.

Also we've had some great progress in our living room over the last few days. As you can see in the photo above the walls behind me are looking rather...um...well my mother in law calls it the Iraqi Neveau look.

But we've gone from this:
Living Room

Kitchen Nook

To this:

To this:

To...*insert drum roll here*...THIS!
Living Room

Kitchen Nook


Real walls! Unbelievable. The end is almost in side. Just a little sanding and some painting and those bookshelves will be done in no time. Now to just narrow down a paint colour!

I Remembered!

Yay I remember to grab the memory cards out of the cameras this morning. So here's what's been going on lately:

First it was sad to pack up and say good-bye to the old place

It was such a mess in the end though


and very empty

We had some great times there and it was our first place but we really did need the room.

When we got to the new place the first thing that had to happen was the wall in the garage had to come down.

It's a fire hazard and not allowed and the last thing we wanted to do was get strata mad at us

The guys had fun though taking it down until it came to the framing and they forgot to bring a drill.

But it did come down only to fill the space with all our storage items.

The other major project that Hubby worked on was the tiled wall in the living room (and matching wall in the kitchen nook)

The boys went to tackle this and...well I'll let the pictures show what I ended up with in the end





I'm not letting them touch the kitchen nook now!

But no we'll get it down in the end however we're calling a professional as the wall is two layers of drywall and Hubby just doesn't feel comfortable tearing down two layers then putting them back up. I just hope I don't have to wait too long before the wall gets fixed. That hole in the wall isn't exactly what I was picturing!
