Putting down the tile

35 weeks

It has been a crazy past few weeks. Our jobs are keeping us very busy and on top of that, Daniel's been working VERY hard on getting this house together. Last weekend his co-worker Chris and him laid tile on the floor of bathroom #2. It's beautiful! I can't wait to see what it looks like completed. Also, Daniel put down hardwoods in the guest room and down the hallway. Now we can start moving the guest room furniture into the actual guest room and start setting up the baby room. They moved my due date back to March 27 so I guess I have exactly a month to go!

Things are still fine. I feel great when I wake up but my energy starts to fade around 4-5pm and I start to get tired and worn out. She moves around quite a bit still and I can't believe she's about 16 inches and 5 pounds. I'm not sure how she fits in there! I had a baby shower at work on Thursday and I thought we were going to have to rent a U-Haul to get all our stuff home. I've done two large loads of baby clothes this morning and I still have more to wash. She better enjoy fashion shows because she has lots of clothes to wear. I doubt she'll get to half of them before she's too big. I'm still not eagerly awaiting her arrival because we have so much work to do before she gets here. I am starting to get ready to hold her though and see who's been squirming around for months. Will post more pictures of progress!

New Chicken Fence

Daniel put up a new fence for the chickens to restrict their access to the full backyard and he built an arbor to use as the gate.

Bathtub Progress

Daniel has been working on installing the hardibacker (aka durock, cement board, etc) in the bathtub surround in preparation for the tile.  We decided to include a niche in the tub (for all of Sophia's future shampoo and conditioner for curly hair).

School Board Announces Personnel Changes


The Johnston County Board of Education approved several personnel changes during their monthly meeting on Tuesday. Rachel Findley was named Director of Child Nutrition, replacing Beth Taylor who retired in December.

Neighborhood Deer

Daniel got a couple of pictures of the neighborhood deer in the yard of the house across the street from us.  The deer roam the neighborhood and usually go through our neighbor's yard on the way to another house down the street that feeds them.  They've stayed out of our backyard since we got chickens though. 

Foyer Construction

Daniel's been working on putting down hardibacker in the foyer to get ready for the tile.

Guest Bathroom Progress

Daniel put down hardibacker on the bathroom floor today and sconces on the wall.  Hopefully our tile will come in this week.
