It's The Hardest Part

Well, it's 4:30 on the morning and I've  been up for two hours with contractions. They were very regular at first (every 5 minutes) and lasted over a minute so all the textbooks say to check in to the hospital around that point. However, because of our experience with Ezra being born an entire week after I had contractions like this, I've been holding off. And true to form, they've been starting to get more irregular. It's hard to know for sure though because my heartburn is so, so debilitatingly painful right now, my focus has not been on the contractions so much as it has been on my searing lower left ribs.

So to pass the time with a good distraction, I'm blogging and just  keeping it real.

What have we been up to lately? The Junk Room! It has taken us about three weeks to completely remodel it, but it was totally worth it. Took out carpet, spackled, sanded, and painted walls, mudded corners closed with corner tape, installed new light fixtures, patched ceiling, caulked practically everything, primed and sprayed shelving and baseboards three times, painted ceiling and walls a few times, new electrical outlets, sanded and painted door, designed, built, painted and installed sliding doors for a "closet", installed flooring, installed, patched and painted baseboards, installed curtain rod and installed a light dimmer just outside for a nightlight. It's been exhausting and rewarding. The girls moved into their room the beginning of this week and love it. Ezra is loving his own room too. It's a huge room for such a small boy!  Juan and I just barely set up the baby's room in Siena's old room. We are officially ready for Bebe!
