4 day week!

No work for Good Friday! At least at my money-paying job. We are going to be working on one of the bedrooms this weekend. This room will be our office/craft room. Baby room work to begin when we find out the gender. A few months ago I had the itch to paint the office. We decided to replace the old trim with new trim that will match the rest of the house since the previous owners' remodel didn't include much work for the upstairs. Well, upon removing old trim we found they had placed a smaller door in the space than what should be there and filled in the gap with caulk. Hmm. So, now we're replacing the trim and the door. And while we're at it, we're thinking about putting hard wood in the room since the carpet doesn't match the other carpet in the house. I just wanted to paint! That's what I get for being ambitious. At least we'll do it right and give us the peace of mind. My 3 day weekend will be busy but hopefully we'll get some things done. Perhaps if we need to get outside for fresh air we can clean the gutters. Yay, Ra! Ugh. On a happier note, we have Spring flowers popping up around the yard and I'm so excited to see what they turn into and the buds on the trees and bushes are starting to emerge.

Thinking about Spring cheers me up. I had a rough start this morning and my stomach isn't very happy. I want to eat my home-made pizza for lunch. Let's hope the stomach likes it.

I probably won't be posting much on the weekends because we don't have the internet. We're looking into it so hopefully in the next couple of months we'll have it set up. Hope everyone is doing well. Chat again soon!

Week 9

Baby Thorne:
Today marks the beginning of Week 9. Baby Thorne now has all of his/her fingers and toes and still connected with webbing! It's only around 1 inch long but is already moving. I've been calling it my little pumpkin because it's about the size of a pumpkin seed. The main construction of the heart is complete and has been beating for a couple weeks.

Me:
I'm really tired today even though I went to bed at 8:45 last night. When I get sleepy, that's it. No matter how hard I try to stay up, it doesn't happen and I'm down for the count. I haven't had any major cravings. During the first few weeks, peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches were really tasty. Now, the smell of peanut butter makes me gag. Bad news for Huntley because he's used to getting peanut butter stuffed into his Kong toy, which then permeates the house. I just go to another room for awhile. Last night I was looking for dinner ideas and nothing we had sounded very good. Garrett was still at work so I called him up. I asked him if there was a Papa Johns on his way home. He said he'd look and call back. He called back, said there was, that he'd called in an order and would be on his way shortly. What a sweetie. That made my night.

Welcome!

We are thrilled to announce there will be another Thorne joining the world! I have created this blog to keep everyone updated with our preparations to welcome this little one into our lives and also how the mommy and daddy-to-be are doing. We will meet Baby Thorne around October 28. Please add comments! I'd love to hear from everyone!
