Mother's Day Present:

chris' mother's day present to me this year was getting some big-time work done on our bathroom renovation. it's really tough work for him and it's taking a long time, but he's having a great time buying new tools and learning new skills for the project. this past weekend's big task...laying brick to patch a window he removed (so we won't have a window in the shower...who puts a window in a shower, in the first place!!). i'm so amazed at the skills he secretly possesses! all that "this old house" watching really has paid off! watch out tom sylva!!




and, no, the brick doesn't match...but our brick is painted, so we'll fix that :)

mother's day weekend i was 23 weeks along! our little peanut is passing the big one-pound mark. yay for peanut! here's my preggo belly...i have ditched the non-maternity jeans, you'll see, in favor of a stretchy skirt ("Sometimes I like to wear stretchy pants." Jack Black...Nacho Libre, anyone?).

and just in case anyone out there is actually wondering how the daddy-to-be is doing these days...here's schmoopy's 23 week picture :)

that's stinkin' hilarious!!! i love you, schmoop!
