more renovations- with a deadline!

Renovations on the house are slowly coming along. Jeff is taking next week off to get started on the downstairs as we are adding two more bedrooms down there and building a linen closet for the bathroom. I say "We" as in I say where the walls should go and he does all the work.

The computer room will also get some much needed attention so new lighting and flooring can go in there. The computer room has become very important as the upstairs bedroom is the last to be updated and has a time deadline.

The 3rd bedroom upstairs will be the bedroom for this little one due to join our family in February.

I have hit 'nesting' stage and can't wait to get the room setup!! New bedding has been bought (organic cotton just incase this baby is as sensitive as Afton), curtains and of course I want to paint.. again....


Our last ultrasound showed the baby weighing (almost) 1lb and has feet measuring 3.3cm. The rest of the details I don't remember as I was just so happy to get a good ultrasound! Jeff and I are excited to expand our family again and while I am finding I am dragging by butt around trying to work and take care of a toddler, I am also finding this pregnancy going by quicker. They say the second one goes that way....

The baby is now strong enough that Jeff can now feel kicks although not strong enough for me to show Afton yet. She talks about her baby almost every day and I am sure is wondering if this baby is ever going to come.

For those of you wondering, no we do not know the sex of the baby. If you are a betting person, I am caring low and the baby has a low heartbeat. Read into the old wives tales as you may, however I also carried Afton low.
