Updates on stuff
So I haven’t posted much recently. Mainly because there hasn’t been a ton going on. I mean we’ve had various things happening, but nothing extremely exciting or such.
Dan started his new job on October 2nd and seems to be enjoying it. The few downsides to it, being he can’t work from home yet, probably not till it is perm rather then temp, so he missed my last midwife appointment, which wasn’t huge but still. Other problem being since he is temp right now he doesn’t get paid when he has federal holidays off which means he has to work his 40 hours on the other 4 days, which kinds of sucks and means we aren’t going down to my parents for Thanksgiving since he has to work the Friday after Thanksgiving. Oh well, will be the second time in the past 11 years we haven’t had Thanksgiving with my parents, and the other time was back when I was in Israel. No clue what we’re going to do instead, probably either go to his parents or down to my Aunt Mary’s.
Babywise everything is going well, not much different, I have my next doctor’s appointment on Friday, I should get to hear the heartbeat again which will be nice. Everything seems to be going well though I should probably be eating more dairy for calcium still. I’ll update this weekend or next week about the appointment. Should have the big Ultrasound sometime in November, I’m hoping for the 10th since Dan will be home for Veteran’s Day then anyways and it will make it easier for him to come.
Housewise, Dan has to put the border up in the baby’s room still, but other then that it is finished being painted. We need to buy the stuff to do the closet for all three upstairs rooms, maybe this weekend or next weekend. Dan’s also painted K’s room and done most of the trim work as well, we went with a purpleish/blue color with yellow trim in there it looks nice. The contractor came out yesterday so he can give us an estimate on some of the other housework that needs to be done. We are redoing two of the bathrooms, the first floor half bath and the upstairs main bath. Dan was recaulking the upstairs bath and found that the tile was loose so we have to have them retile it, and since they will be here we decided to see how much it would cost for them to retile the floors as well and put in the new fixtures and cabnets. Hopefully we’ll hear how much the damage will be next week. We still need to find a landscaper as well since Claire’s brother apparently only works in Towson area. We’ll get to that eventually I’m sure.
Other then that we’ve had a couple of semi busy weekends, last weekend we had a Halloween party to go to on Saturday which was fun. The week before that one of Dan’s friend’s from his old job was having a small get together for his birthday so we went to that. Amusingly enough he is college friends with our neighbors (3 doors down) so we got to hang out with them as well. Next Saturday we have another Halloween party at our neighbor’s house. So it should be nice, but definately a busy few weeks. Hopefully we’ll get to cleaning the house again this weekend or next.
Other then that not too much going on here, other then this obnoxious cold I’ve had for over a week.
