Hello,
We are EXTREMELY busy lately! In true Nellnell style we have about 500 house projects going at once. Ahhh, where to begin right?! Tomorrow Mark and his brother, Shawn, are going to Kent to pick up the new pellet stove we special ordered to replace our out of date,no longer working one. While they install it, Shawn's wife Karen and I are going to try and put a dent in painting McKenna's soon to be new bedroom. Later in the afternoon, I hope to go outside and sand down some of the bed frame I am working on while Mark works on installation of the pellet stove, replacing a headlight in the car, fixing the drip in man room-bathroom sink etc. etc. And it doesn't end there! :)
It's exhilarating to know that someday there will be an end in sight, I am pretty sure it won't happen until our new bundle of love arrives in January. Next week marks my 25Th week of pregnancy which is the first week of my third trimester! Yippee! And to all those concerned, I am using low to no VOC paints in a well ventilated area so it is safe (and I don't want to hear about it from you) I picked out paint colors today at Lowe's for the nursery which we are remodeling right after McKenna's room is complete. The colors are called slate (an organic green/grey) and paradise nut (a grayish mauve-pink) it should look pretty spectacular with the white crown up.
I am so ready to have everything wrapped up and be able to sit down and watch a TV show or read a book again, but I have a feeling it will be years and years before that happens. <- To be honest I will probably be too tired come January to want either of those things anyways. Well, tootaloo for now. Thank you for listening to a very pregnant, very tired, lady with a back-ache blabber on.
Until next time,
Jaime
