So, I think we get the DIY prize for Longest Project Ever. Our dining room project, which began last year, or 3 months ago (however you want to slice it) is still in progress. Progress being a relative term. But we had a good excuse: two other important projects came up.
The first project came on Christmas Eve, when we got a big fat positive on multiple pregnancy tests and couldn't be happier! Unfortunately, I was soon laid flat by morning sickness and fatigue. We’re now at week 13 and I’m just starting to get some energy and non-nauseated hours back. The couch has become my best friend and enemy, so our DIY speed came to a screeching halt. In my defense, growing a human is hard, you guys! In the first trimester, the kiddo is doubling in size each week while developing all its parts, and while s/he’s too tiny to “feel” yet, I definitely get a punch from the hormone cocktail.
Say hello to our little 'Poppyseed'. The ultrasound tech also found a little surprise.

While gestating is exhausting, it doesn't quite account for all of our time. We also took on yet another little project. We gifted Mike's parents with updating their bathroom!
