Main Bathroom

Here are the latest main bath pictures. It's really hard to get good shots since it's such a small room. I'm loving the heated floor in this cold weather. Nothing like warm toes when you are ...well you know.

I still have not tried out the shower since we are waiting on the final spout for the tub. Right now, if you were to take a shower the tub spout would shoot off and water would spray everywhere. Brent is not happy with the tub skirt since it squeeks and wants to tile the skirt area instead. That's about #1432 on my priority list at the moment!

View from the hallway, hmmm, the shower bar is crooked.

As for the ensuite bathroom, we are just waiting on the shower glass door. I haven't posted any pics of that bathroom so you'll just get to see the final result. We have also decided to drywall the basement before our bundle of joy arrives. It's such a dusty job we'd rather have it done before. We have been scheduled in for April with the drywaller so that gives Brent a few months to get his electrical and insulation in. I'll be sure to take some before pictures. The carpet down there is nasty (stains and cigarette burns) so I'm excited to get that replaced.

On the non reno front, we are going to Disneyland in February. I'm looking forward to escaping winter for a week. My mom, Michael and Ellen have agreed to watch the boys for us (Paul and Winston) which we really appreciate. THANKS MOM! I hope I can last a whole day of walking around the park, but if not, our hotel is pretty close by for naps.

I had coffee with the "coffee girls" that I worked with at Conoco this morning. It was great to see you girls!!! I think I'm going to have to join them more often. Especially when I'm off work ;)

#1 NFC CHAMPS!

Looks like I'm painting my face in two weeks for the Superbowl!!!! The Giants creamed the Packers (like I knew they would). TOUGH match up against the Patriots but I have faith in them. GO GIANTS!!

Go Giants!

My favorite NFL team plays on Sunday for a spot in the Superbowl. They are playing against the Packers and are the underdog to win. Sunday evening I'll be parked on the couch cheering for my team. I told Brent if they win on Sunday and play in the superbowl that I'll paint my face blue for the game. I meant it!

Mini Jen or Mini Brent...which will it be?

It's official, we are going to be parents!! The little bean is due June 19th and we are pretty excited. We were able to find out the gender, but it's under wraps for now.

I thought it would be fun to post some old wives tales and you can judge for yourself.

1. If the fetal heart rate is above 140 bpm it's a girl, if it's below 140 bpm then it's a boy. Baby Chmil = 160 bpm

2. If I'm craving sweet, it's a girl. If I'm craving salty it's a boy. I'm craving salty

3. If Brent puts on weight, it's a girl. If Brent doesn't it's a boy. Let's just say, he started a new diet this week

4. If I have acne it's a girl. If I don't have acne it's a boy. I have no more acne than usual. I never did grow out of that phase!

5. If I prefer sleeping on my left side, it's a boy. Right side, it's a girl. I prefer the Left

6. Extreme nausea means a girl. I've had no nausea

7. If my hands are dry, it's a boy. Soft hands mean a girl. I think my hands are on the softer side

8. Craving citrus? It's a girl. I can't get enough orange juice in a day. It's my major craving.

9. If you feel graceful during pregnancy it's a girl. Clumsy means a boy. Clumsy is my middle name

10. Carrying in front? A boy. Carrying all around the middle? A girl. I feel like I'm carrying all around the middle (at this point anyway!)

So..make your guess and answer the poll on the right.

Really, as long as it's cuter than this, we'll be happy.
