I went for my weekly doctor's appointment this morning, and she said I was 1 centimeter dilated but with no effacement. So...something's happening! She was surprised that I was dilated at all because I told her I hadn't had too many contractions. Just once in awhile and not for very long either. Anyways, this doesn't really mean much...I could go … [Read more...]

(which we haven't touched at all) loving the stripes here...it might be too much work … [Read more...]

Ohh, I am too tired to think of a clever title today! Rory would most definitely agree. Well, the floors are (almost) officially done! Just a little trim here and there and they will be complete. Right now they are completely dusty! Oh well. Today was a hodge podge of projects, the biggest being the plywood for underneath our counter tops. We went … [Read more...]
