For those of you who haven't been around us lately, Alok and I have been pretty stressed out. Something about trying to get a house finished prior to a baby being born. After realizing that we were both about to have panic attacks and that Xanax is probably not recommended during pregnancy (although I really wish that martinis were!), we decided to dial it back a notch. Alok and his sidekick Charla are still working full force on the house, but we have to accept that there is only so much that we can do. To make myself feel better, I arranged the bedroom at my mom's to accommodate the baby, just in case. This way, if we can move in prior to the baby, awesome. If not, at least the little guy has a place to sleep/be changed/eat, etc without being crushed by papers and boxes.
Some people ask, why not just move in now? Apparently, you haven't met me or my lungs. Flying saw dust is probably not recommended for newborns, and I highly doubt that the other lingering health hazards are either. So, we are prioritizing on those potential health hazards (and there are very few) and then will start to clean up. If there is time at that point, we will then continue down the list. We also have pets, so health hazards to pets (and safety hazards, such as large holes) have to be fixed prior to moving as well.
In the meantime, Alok and Charla are scraping paint off the outside of the house and the wood floor has started to be laid in the apartment area. Let's just say that isn't going as expected and there was a lot of cursing today by several people. That is going to take a LOT longer than expected.
No pictures for today, as I've been told to stay away due to the flying dust.
More to come later.....
