30 weeks

10 more weeks to go...or maybe less. Definitely not more though as I'm not allowed to go over and try for a VBAC. It's as they say, so close yet so far away. Lots to do.  We finally started clearing out the spare bedroom - which Anderson refers to as "Evita's Room" and it is beginning to resemble an actual bedroom a human will inhabit.  

We stripped, sanded and painted the dresser and side table. They are a really bright shade of yellow and give our neutral grey room a bit of a pop.  When we moved in we decided to paint all of our bedrooms the same shade of grey because I'm a fan and it's really easy to take all rooms in very different directions and look cohesive at the same time. Most of the trim in the room has been sanded and repainted. I left that part to Brian as we are very sure that some of the layers were lead based paint.  The bathroom construction left holes in both A's and BB2's rooms so there was some drywall patching to be done too. 

Speaking of the bathroom - we have been at 95% complete for about a week and a half.  We are awaiting the shower glass doors and mirror (same company) to be installed later this week.  They wouldn't come to measure until all was complete and it was as 2-3 week lead time for it to be made and installed. The electrician wanted to wait until the mirror was installed before he finished up his items (lighting, fan, new receptacles etc...).  So while we can use the bathroom we just can't use the shower - which I can't wait to try out.  The guest/kids bathroom might turn into mom's private spa.  Now that all is said and done, the work is great, albeit slow.  But the fact that we moved and/or replace all the rough plumbing, had to put in a new vent in the roof and literally had a hole in the house that showed the dirt under the house and the nails in the roof- I guess it's not too much to ask for such good work.
