HOME AFFAIRS

Our house is a small one.  With two bedrooms and one bathroom, we don't have much room for error.  If we are to have hopes of selling or renting our house, we will need to update the bathroom.  So, the Hub has been diligently working on this for weeks - collecting all of the necessary pieces:  new tile, new doors and trim, new poured sink, new vanity, new toilet and tub. . . new stone ledge for the window.  No expense has been spared.  Trust me.  I know.

This week, the Hub began tearing out the walls so that we could rid ourselves of the original glazed tile that makes me wretch.  New circuits are going in to support the ceiling light / exhaust fan combo.  The new vanity lights are going to be amazing, too.

For now, you can see the NorthWest corner of the bathroom - where the sink used to reside.  The wackadoodles who lived here previously cut every possible corner when trying to "upgrade"  If I could get a hold of them now, I would have a laundry list of shit to tell them.

People!  If you are going to do something, DO IT RIGHT. 

This of course brings me full circle to the pregnancy stuff (this is a pregnancy blog, right?)  When I got home from work on Wednesday, my Hub had a brand new Saw delivered.  It was sitting on the front porch (under the door mat - because that is going to hide an enormous DeWalt box).  Instead of waiting for my Hub to get home, I leaned in and hauled the 45lb box into the front room.  And I paid for it by spotting for the rest of the night and the first half of yesterday.

I am not on bedrest - though my appointment tomorrow might change that.  Bedrest has NOT been clinically determined to help in cases of possible miscarriage.  Being as miscarriage typically has to do with the poor development of the embryo - rather than a mother's inability to keep still. . . it is unlikely that I will be on bedrest.

However. . . I do need to be careful not to strain myself going forward.  The things that I usually do without thought require some study.  My usual MO of tempting fate is going to be altered for another several months.
