Lets see...

The carpel tunnel seems to have moved from my upper arms down into my hands and wrists. The good news is that I'm not waking up as much at night but my hands are pretty much numb and useless in the mornings. And I can be regularly seen chewing on tums these days. It's been so much fun watching my stomach move around in the evenings. It's one of my favorite things about pregnancy. We feel so blessed to be able to experience this a second time. Still no name (sigh).

On Sunday morning Kylie came down with pink eye. I'm glad Kipton hasn't caught it (yet). So we came home early from church and she didn't go to preschool today. She was disappointed to miss school today because they decorated miniature three dimensional foam Christmas trees with frosting and candy. So I made a quick trip over there and brought the supplies home so she could work on it at home. We made some frosting and both Kylie and Kipton had fun decorating their tree's with candy.

The basement is coming along. We had our four way inspection a week ago and let me tell you I was PUMPED that we didn't fail it outright. There were a few minor things we need to do but we were given the go-ahead to start insulation (fist pump in the air) So we've started putting up insulation and I still need to add a few pieces of blocking near the windows so I can screw our curtain hardware into studs, put some metal plates in front of some plumbing etc. We also added a soffit in the first bedroom kind of after the fact. When we originally had it framed there was a large 6" pipe in the ceiling in the first bedroom that hangs down below the joists. I just had them frame around it knowing it would look out of place. After staring at that for a few weeks I decided it was driving me crazy. So I ripped it down and Jared and I built a shallow soffit  running the entire length of the room that hides the pipe. I'm a lot more happy with how it looks but building that soffit a lot of work! I told Jared that if we were professional framers we would be dirt poor because of how slow we are at building that. And that insulation is so itchy I can only stand to work with it for a couple of hours. So progress is slow but I've been down there working most days 2-3 hours. I need to get busy with the nail gun tomorrow.

Kipton in the car today: "Look Kylie look! Dirt!!!" (and points towards a construction site... such a boy)
