Busy Beaver

Wow. This week has flown by. I’m not even sure what all I did but it’s Friday and the sun is out (halleluiah!) so that makes me happy. Wade and I have decided to tear up the bathroom with a little home improvement project. I say “little” but what I mean is tear out the ugly sky blue tile flooring and replace w/ new porcelain tiles and tear out the nasty, moldy wall surrounds and leaky faucet in the shower and replace w/ new bright white shiny walls and new faucet. Once that is done we are going to get the tub refinished. Supposedly this is comparable in price to getting a whole new tub installed but a lot easier.

Unfortunately we have family coming this weekend so they may have to see some of this going on. (Don’t read that the wrong way; I’m glad to be having company, I’m sorry for them to have to deal w/ this while they are visiting us.) We are working on a limited time frame w/ Nugget coming in 11 weeks or less. (Holy shit!) We’ve got a lot that needs to get done in that time and not a lot of free weekends to do it. So tonight Wade will hopefully get the old wall surrounds tore out and be ready to start installing the new walls tomorrow. Assuming all goes well (which w/ our old house NOTHING ever goes as easily as it should) we could technically have the shower done before our company even gets here since they aren’t arriving until Sunday. Wouldn’t that be grand? We’ll see how that goes. I will post before and after pics for those interested in home improvement gone awry. :)

Wade’s graduation ceremony is Monday morning which is why we are expecting family here. My dad, Wade’s mom, step-dad, sister, grandma and grandma’s boy toy are all coming. It will be nice to get to see them all again and celebrate Wade’s huge accomplishment. I am so proud of him!

A quick pregnancy update: at my last OB appointment my doctor recommended doing kick counts once a day. I’m supposed to count the number of kicks I get in one hour and if it is 10 or above we are good to go. If I don’t get 10 kicks in an hour then I should contact the doctor and they can run some tests to make sure nothing is wrong w/ Nugget. I started doing these on Tuesday. I kind of forgot to do them Fri-Mon… Oops. Anyway, Tuesday I got to 10 kicks in like 10 minutes so I stopped b/c I was done. Easy peasy. Wednesday I decide that I’m still going to continue counting for the entire hour just to see how many times Nugget blasts me w/ her ninja moves. I counted 59. And I know I missed some b/c I was at work and got distracted. 59! How can some people have a hard time getting 10 an hour and I get basically 1 each minute? Thursday was a bit less but still a ton with 37 kicks in an hour. And today Nugget assaulted me with 45 kicks. She’s a busy little beaver in there doing who the hell knows what.

Needless to say I’m a little scared of what is coming out of me. She is one wiggly mother fucker for sure. Some of her kicks and rolls are so strong they take my breath away. I think we’re going to have our hands full.

Also I've noticed I now have pregnancy fat face. This was not a welcome discovery. In fact it downright blows ass chunks. But at least it's the freakin weekend.

Happy Friday Asshats!
