Let the Nesting Begin

We're past the halfway mark, at 21 weeks! Here's an updated pic of me...I know, it's a little disappointing as far as the bump goes, but the Dr. promises me our little girl is growing as expected. I suppose I should count my blessings before the real discomfort sets in. At a minimum, this pic shows you the future site of our new home office!

That's right, construction will begin later this week. We're finally going to do (that is, have a professional do) the remodeling that we've been wanting to do since we moved in 4+ years ago. We'll have a new, larger master bath and walk-in closet, as well as a formal home office, with most of the extra space being carved out of the former game room. That's right, the pool table was listed on Craigslist last Saturday morning, and within 24 hours of posting, it was sold and hauled out :( It was fun while it lasted. We'll be sure to take before and after shots and share them once the projects are done.

One parting note...a shout out of congratulations to our friends Greg & Amanda for the arrival last Thursday of their strapping baby boy, Gavin. I can only aspire to be as great a trooper as Amanda was!
