...Let's hope the bathroom is done...

The last line of my last post was "Let's hope the bathroom is done". I said that trying to be funny and knew as I was typing it that the bathroom would be done. Mike worked really hard Friday & Saturday nights. He got all the wainscoting & baseboards up. He was working on the chair rail when Dana came over on Sunday to help him install the sink. I think everyone pretty much thought Dana would be here for about an hour. I had plans today to do some puttying & touch up painting. Well on Sunday fate stepped in yet again & slapped us in the face. The drainage pipe threads were rusted & broke off when they removed the old pipe. Because it didn't break clean the new pipe they got doesn't seal and now it leaks.

So what does this mean? That's what I asked @ least. This is the list we compiled: 1. call a plumber 2. new wainscoting torn down 3. wall busted open. If there are no further complications (and we all know there will be) than 4.wall will have to be repaired 5. wainscoting replaced. All this has to be done before we even progress anymore with the bathroom.

After a very long emotional breakdown I mulled over the financial ruin this bathroom is causing & had another long emotional breakdown. I took pictures of the bathroom in near completion status & I will post those with the newer pics after the plumber comes. Somehow Mike still thinks this may be done before the baby shower this weekend. I'm not so confident.

Friday Mike & I went to the MD. I'm 36 weeks preggers now. She said the baby is in the head down position. I appear to be retaining and my blood pressure went up a bit. After the last 3 weeks we've had I don't think that came as a real surprise. The MD said to watch my salt intake and we are going back this Friday. Yikes I am on a weekly cycle now! I think that it was supposed to be 2 weeks but since I seemed to be retaining a lot she wants to see me sooner. My sister ended up getting toxemia & had to get induced when my nephew was born. She was in labor 34hrs- I'm really hoping that will not be the case with me. I'm just speculating here & I'll let you know when I know something.

There is a bright spot in this weekend. My wonderful niece Natalie came over and helped with some of the ridiculous weeds we had. I can't really bend over & Mike has been so busy w/the nursery & now the bathroom they got a bit out of control. I really wanted these cleaned up before the baby shower plus they were driving me crazy. She did a great job & I believe she got most of them. Even after getting lost & working in over 80 degree heat she thanked me!!! What a great kid. Good job Dana!

So that's the weekend we had. What else can happen? I shudder to think.
