long time no see

Life has been busy.

Good busy. Sometimes stressful busy but at least it's interesting. Not as stressful as my previous life but enough to keep me from thinking I've completely got it together 24/7.

The house hasn't fallen down and we've actually started two renovations. Easy ones - installed a whirlpool bathtub. Harder - deciding on the surrounding tile, which leads to the question of floor tile, and shower replacement and then paint colours. That's where the project stalled.

The next one was a closet expansion in our bedroom. Started the weekend we stalled on the bathroom tiles. At least the closet organizer is up and clothes are hanging with much room to breathe. Now to finish the walls and permanently affix the closet organizer and paint the room. At some point.

We've been distracted lately though so home reno projects haven't been at the forefront of our minds.

You see, we are pregnant. After the initial shock, we are thrilled. Even in shock both of us seemed excited.

Everything is going well. Now that I know what's happening, it all makes more sense: the EXTREME moodiness, the heart burn, the tenderness, the tiredness, headaches, etc... Only a little nausea so I'm lucky. J has been wonderful with me, urging me regularly to eat well, and rest.

We've announced it to the family so now everyone who should know knows. The trip home to tell my father was stressful but necessary. He seems to be coming along so that's good too.

I'm just relieved that part is over and now we get to be a little more present in the day-to-day operations and stop worrying about other people. Or really, I can start worrying about me and the baby and no one else!
