We finally got our bathroom tub and shower relined! We had been talking about it for a while and had decided that it was something we had to do before the baby was here. It's not like she's gonna be able to take a shower. So, the estimator came in January and gave us the bad news. Of course, this was not going to be a simple placement of the acrylic lining over our old bath. There was so much mold and damage that they were going to have to rip out some of the old tile and wall board and replace it with new drywall. Also, he suggested we re-do the plumbing while they were at it since it was the orignal plumbing from 1974.
So over President's Day weekend, the installer came in and gave us our new bath! It's fabulous! Here are some before and after pics.









I am so glad to finally have it done. Now though, we need to paint the walls, because they look old and dingy! I am going to wait until after the baby is born to do that.
The next projects for the house will be to declutter a little bit and move the fish tank from Blake's room to our room so we can make room for a glider and the changing table. Hopefully that will happen in the next few weeks.
Peter and I spent most of last Saturday registering at Babies R Us. Boy was that an adventure! It took us forever to agree on things and of course, Peter felt there needed to be a strategy to how we picked stuff. I, on the other hand, just wanted to scan everything! In the end though we are both happy with what we got done.
I took Heather and Elizabeth with me to Target though so that we could also register there. Peter couldn't handle another round! Heather and Elizabeth were the complete opposite of Peter and wanted me to register for just about everything!
We had fun though and I feel relieved that it's all done.
I don't have a recent belly shot, so I'll have Peter take one later and I'll update the blog this weekend. I feel like there have been a couple times where I have just grown overnight. And I can tell that she is getting so much bigger. Her kicks are more forceful and sometimes she gets wedged under my ribs and that really hurts!
Besides the wedging, I'm doing really good. My ankles have started to swell by the time I get home from work so I try to stay off my feet when I can, and sleeping is a whole ordeal in itself, but other than that, there are no complaints!
Hope everyone is doing well.
Can you believe it's almost March!!

Oh how I remember the rib pain and the sleeping dilemma -- it's all worth it though. You're little girl will be here before you know it! Can't wait to check out your registries!
