Lights, Sheetrock, Bathtub ... oh my!

Some exciting things have been happening in Our House, Texas. PEL is really wearing out this preggo, so I apologize for not updating sooner. On Tuesday we had all of the insulation put in. They were super fast and for a change ... CLEAN!They also put in the tub/shower combination for the guest/kids bathroom. The framer actually made the bathroom wider than the plans had specified, so the tub was short of hitting the back wall. Not a problem ... what do we do ... have them add a hiding closet!

Believe it or not, CR fit through this little opening to run the very last wire for the electrical in the house!

Tomorrow they will begin the sheetrock. This is super exciting to me, because then we get to go in and paint! After painting, the cabinets should be ready to go in, then counter tops and we are about there!

Oh ya ... how could I forget the best part? We have electricity and running water! I walked in tonight to check everything out and since we had lights, I was able to see and take all these pictures. Whoohoo ... thank you to my wonderful mother-in-law and husband. They did an awesome job.

Besides the house, we had an unexpected but exciting visit with my sister and Ray. Ray had to come to Corpus for a firefighter's training, so E rode along. They met us at church Sunday night and then she stayed with us on the farm for the night. We got to meet up again Tuesday for lunch before they had to head out. It was very refreshing to get to visit with just the two of them.

Nugget is doing well. I go back to the doctor again on Friday. It seems like I was just there, but I like going every 2 weeks. It makes me feel better about everything. I (think) I have started to have some Braxtin Hicks contractions. These are just preparing me for when I really get contractions. My belly gets really tight and it is an interesting feeling. The baby has really been moving this week. Last night I think it was teaching itself how to do forward and backward rolls. I will try to update on Friday before we leave for Montgomery. We are going up there for Father's Day and will hopefully get to see the whole family. It has been since Christmas since we have seen everyone and it would be really great to see them all.
