Al-most...there.

I think this pregnancy will forever be measured by the kitchen. To Sean's credit, we were only without running water for 18 hours. Not exactly riveting reading material, but this has been my life since November. Tomorrow we'll paint the walls and install the switch plates. Next up- plywood counter tops being replaced with concrete and exposed wires being traded for lighting fixtures. After that is done we'll be installing a stone back splash. Then the plan is to take a break...or, if I have my way, fence the side yard, bust through the east side of the house and create a private oasis away from the prying eyes of our shrewish neighbor.

It looks AWESOME! I can't believe you lived with the dreaded kitchen reno while pregnant. Kudos, to you and Sean both, my dear.

That looks SO good!
My last pregnancy, we had to redo our bathroom - including replacing the rotten floor. That was a lot of fun to do while pregnant, as I'm sure you know.

It looks wonderful, and I love the island. I'm very envious.

Apropos of nothing, a quick glance at your final photo and I mistook your dog for a small cow. Yeah, I don't know either. Let's chalk it up to the fact that SOMEONE has been teething and keeping me up all night lately. I enlarged the photo and saw, quite unequivocally, that it is in fact a small, lab-type dog, not a cow.

Sean and Amanda, the lion-hearted.

Our master bathroom started being renovated right before I got pregnant.

It's still unfinished!
