28 Weeks!!!

I am so sorry for not blogging the past few weeks. We haven't been to Chad's work for China calls until now. So I have quite a bit to tell.

First off, I have officially entered my 3rd trimester...we are on the homestretch! here is a pic of me at 27 weeks. (last week)

It's not the greatest pic because we took it at the end of the day right before bedtime and we were both exhausted and ready to be sleeping! but as you can see, i have grown quite a bit. I go to the doctor tomorrow for my 28 week appointment. The squirt (still un-named) is moving A LOT. Erin and Mom got to feel him move while we were home for christmas and I think both were a bit surprised at his sometimes forceful jabs :) He hasn't got me real hard lately and I think he may be lacking the room to get a good swing in.

As far as the house goes, Dad came up a few weekends ago to help chad work on the house. They ended up tearing out the doorway that leads from the kitchen to the hallway due to mold issues behind one of the bathrooms. Chad and I started the project not intending to take the doorway out, but seeing the extent of the water damage, they decided to rip it out as well as replacing some of the hallway subflooring. here's a pic of Dad working on tearing out the nasty subflooring.

And here is a pic of the final product. good job boys!

On Monday, Chad and a very nice man from our church blew a ton of insulation into the attic. Chad had calculated that we would need about 70 bags of insulation for the walls and the attic. However, at the end of the day, they were left with only 2 bags. Every other bag was put into the attic. So this weekend, we are going to try and finish the walls. It will be nice to finally have an insulated house!

Some sad news to report: The mach5 is no longer with us. Chad sold him a couple weeks ago to a man who needed the car more than we do. We will/do miss him very much. There are many happy memories associated with the old guy.

In other news, I am trying to earn a trip through Arbonne taking place in October. if you would like to help me earn this trip and to grow my business, ask me how and I will let you know!

Good night and God Bless!
