Well, it's been a while, and while I do have things to post (such as pictures) I haven't got the time to be uploading them at the moment. They should be coming sometime in the next week though. At least pictures of the baby's room. Our room is still in progress, so maybe next week sometime? The kitchen is just going to drive me CRAZY, because I have yet to figure out where to fit my pots. There isn't a cupboard the right size anywhere, nor is there one near the stove even *close* to the right size. So I'm a little annoyed with that. Oh, and we are using a dresser to put our dishes, cutlery, and storage containers in, because I honestly haven't got anywhere else at the moment to put them!! How irritating! I think things will improve as we start getting more things done in other parts of the house. Right now I just have to finish vacuuming at the apartment, and then the vacuum can come here, and the apartment will be done. I think we may be steam cleaning tonight or tomorrow night, not sure which, as well.
I had my monthly prenatal appointment yesterday afternoon, and it's quite difficult to believe it's already been a month since the last one!
So, yesterday I was 30 weeks, 4 days
b/p: 115/64
pulse: 108
weight: used a different scale from normal, as we were in a different place, it said I've gained 9 lbs... I don't know if that is true, but it doesn't really matter to me, and they were not concerned at all. Everything else is "perfect" so it really doesn't matter.
fundal height: 30 cm. Funny story... she measured me, and said "you're measuring thirty too" and I thought she had said thirty-two, so I was wondering where the additional 2 cm had come from!! So she went back and corrected herself, as she realized that what she'd said was rather confusing, lol!
fht: 130's range resting heart rate, into the 140's when you bother it, which is a good acceleration I'm told, and indicates a healthy baby in there... so I guess that's a good thing.
And, that's basically it. No swelling, no other problems, and no problems anticipated.
In other news... I want blinds for my windows, and I want tiles for my floors. I have a feeling I'm not going to have the tiles for a long time, the blinds... I'm hoping will be sooner!!

We Have Water... and it's hot!
We've been holding off on lighting the pilot flame on our water heater until we were much closer to moving in, and then realized, when we went to light it, that not only did we not have any idea where the main turn off was, but there was no gas flowing anywhere anyway! So, we called the gas company, and ended up having to argue our way through the main call centre in order to accomplish talking to someone higher up the chain, but finally in the end we managed to have someone out to take a look for us. It turned out that though records showed that we had our gas turned on, the gentleman who looked at the thing had to uncap it in order to light the pilot flame! So much for having had gas for nearly a month!
On the same day that we got our gas working, Justin also got the water working properly, so I was able to run our diapers through their first couple of washes. When they were done their first two washes, I realized that there really were 12 that just were NOT the same as the others, so I called the company that makes them (Gerber) and asked questions. The weaves just look completely different, and the one package of them simply did not soften up the way the other two packs did! Apparently almost no one calls in dissatisfied with the product, but they want the pack of diapers and they're going to replace them free for me, so that's good news. We were thinking we were just going to have to buy another package that I liked the feel of and have spent an extra bit of money, but this is much better!
We're aiming to have the master bedroom finished, and personally, I'm hoping to have the walls down and repaired, and the new floor laid in the dining room by the end of the weekend. Of course, considering we're trying to figure out where to get people to help us move a fridge (everyone we know has been busy or has a bad back), I'm not sure just how much will actually happen, but anyway... Perhaps, if it doesn't rain all weekend, we'll also get the rest of the trim in the baby's room painted, and the closet door painted and put up. We had run out of trim paint, so needed to get more before we could complete the painting in there, but there is really very little left to be done.

Oops! What a Learning Experience!
So... we went out to pick up some flooring we'd paid for but it wasn't available at the time we were there, and apparently missed quite the storm. In the 2 hours we were gone, enough rain went through to leave large puddles, and obviously there was enough wind to make a number of large branches and even trees go down! It almost looked like we missed a small hurricane or something! We're not quite sure what exactly we missed, but anyway... it was obviously quite the storm! We got another storm late last night as well, which we were here for, and it seemed to plant itself over us for quite a while!
Now for the oops from the title...
Justin learned something new last night. We had a slight plumbing emergency, when he decided to pull the large PVC elbow pipe thing off the main water-in pipe and discovered, much to our dismay, that it is a 1 inch pvc pipe. Why dismay over this discovery? Well, we found out that it wasn't a very durable piece of PVC... it broke-- just snapped with a little pressure! So, Justin went running to turn off the main water in the front, because obviously when you break the pipe just above the ground where it comes out, there is no other water turn off! So, then, realizing that we had to fix the pipe, and considering it somewhat of an emergency, we headed out for Home Depot to get the stuff we needed to fix the thing despite our not preferring to shop on Sundays. But, let's face it, had the pipe burst and we been living in the house and not brave enough to try to fix it ourselves, we'd have made an emergency plumbing call so we would have water by the next day!
Anyway, as we were figuring out what all we needed to get at Home Depot, we realized that since we already had that portion of the piping apart, we might as well replace the connector they had running through the wall that *was* steel (I think...?) with proper copper piping like the rest of the house's pipes are, so we added a piece of 1/2 inch copper pipe, a 1/2 inch elbow thing, and a little stop valve thingy for a "main" turn off inside the house to our list of things to get just in case something happens to the interior piping, knowing how well everything else has been done (NOT!). Oh, and then we realized that in order to turn the water back on, we also needed a hot water and a cold water stop valve, because one was completely shot (we had to turn off the hot water in order to do anything with the pipes in the first place). Our list, in the end was something like... one 1 inch PVC connector, one 1 inch PVC sleeve, one 1 inch PVC elbow with threading for the 1/2 inch piping, PVC primer and glue, one 1/2 inch threaded copper pipe connector, one (short) piece of 1/2 inch copper pipe, one 1/2 inch copper piping elbow, 2 stop valves for sink stuff, 1 stop pressure valve for the "just in case" main turn off inside the house. So, after we got all the stuff we needed, and some assistance from the guy at Home Depot in figuring out how to put this all together, we also added a soldering tip, and a little kit of soldering stuff to the list of things we needed, in order to put the piping together.
We dropped by Justin's parents house to get the blow torch so that the soldering could be done (we didn't have a torch), and headed back to the house. Justin got the PVC primed, and while the primer was drying, we worked on the yard. He worked on filling the hole in the back yard with the pile of dirt, and I gave the willow a "hair cut". I don't like how the willow looks for the first few days after it's been trimmed... maybe because it just looks unnaturally even or something, but within a couple of weeks it should be back to my "magical" little tree again, so it's not that big a deal. After we got the bit of yard work done, Justin glued the PVC piping into place, and then we went inside to work on the copper piping. That's when we discovered just how much "fun" it can be to solder something together! Justin's first time soldering piping for water pipes actually went quite well. Aside from the learning curve it has, in that you have to learn just how hot to get things, and how high the flame needs to be and everything, it was quite easy, I think! So, anyway, after about 2 hours of working on the piping, and having everything in place, Justin turned on the main water. What a loud bang it made when it hit our turned off pressure stop! Well, it would have worked great, except that one of the pieces of PVC didn't quite stick, so we ended up with having to redo that part of the PVC. Justin went and worked on that this morning, and says that now he just has a small leak in one of the pieces of PVC, and then the water is back to perfect working order... YAY!
The next order of business with the water is to figure out the natural gas stuff. For some reason there doesn't appear to be a gas cutoff. This means we cannot cap things off, because the gas will be leaking out as we work to remove pipes. So, I think Justin has to contact the gas company or something and find out how to remove the piping without having a gas leak occur. Anyway, the gas is what serves our water heater, and currently the pilot flame isn't lit. Well, that needs to happen sometime soon, because I now have 36 diapers that need a minimum of like 6-8 washes (according to the package!) before their first use! I have to say, though the diapers are "thin" I really like how they feel! I know there are a lot of people who don't really like flats, and particularly don't like birdseye cotton flats from Gerber, but having now felt them, I really can't see how they are any different from prefolds, unless you are using like... a lightweight denim or flannel for the prefold! And hey, I can put a flannel diaper/receiving blanket on the inside or outside of these if I need to... or both! Talk about versatile! Initially, I can't see our needing more than these diapers. They feel quite absorbent to me, even without having been washed even once. Though they are "see through" they really aren't that see through once they have been folded properly and are ready for pinning (yes, I tested it out already), and, they are supposed to fluff up quite a bit with every wash and dry for the first 6-8 washes (which is why they need so many washes). They actually apparently don't even necessarily achieve their maximum absorbency until they have been washed like 10-12 times or even more in some cases! Anyway, now I'm excited about washing diapers! I wonder how long that excitement will last... Well, considering I love watching my washing machine, I might just be excited about every load of laundry I have to do, regardless of what its contents are, LOL!
So... there's all the big news from this past week. In case you were wondering, no, we didn't get the other bedroom done, but that is largely because of a couple of things. 1) We couldn't find flooring to match the flooring we already had, so we had to spend an afternoon looking at flooring instead of actually working in the room. 2) Because we had our plumbing emergency, which took over the time that would have been for painting the ceiling and levelling the floor. I think Justin is working on getting a day off either tomorrow, or next Tuesday in an attempt to be able to get that room done by Saturday night (we want to be fully moved by the 23rd, but can't really do much until floors are levelled and that room is done, because we don't want to be pulling the bed out again once it is in!!). Anyway, hopefully we'll have the master bedroom done, and... maybe... the dining room?? done by the time the end of next weekend comes! YAY!

Getting Ready to Move
I'm trying to decide if I like moving a little at a time, or all at once better. In a way, it is nice to be able to take bits and pieces instead of having stacks and stacks of boxes, but at the same time, it is a real pain to have so many trips to make, and since the kitchen isn't really ready for us to move in yet, we can't really even start taking my pots and stuff over that we are not currently using (due to lack of space).
We've mostly finished the baby's room now, but as there was a piece missing from the book case we have for the room, I'm not quite finished setting up in there. When we have the book case put together and I've been able to finish organizing things, then I'll see about putting up some pictures! It looks really nice, particularly considering all we still need to do to that room! Oh, and to add to all the other baby things we need to be doing, we also need to wash, fold, and put away a whole stack of clothing we were given. Most of what we actually kept was tops, because the things that were bottoms were either too worn out, or just not things we think we would use. We got rid of pyjamas that were "fire resistant" (ie, made of polyester or whatever) because we would prefer cottons and cotton blends over 100% polyesters... plus they were really yucky feeling polyesters! Oh, and most of it is girls stuff, so we're no better off if the baby is a boy than we were before. Now I just have to decide on a container to put the clothing in to store it. Oh, and it's all toddler stuff. The person must think babies grow realllllly fast, lol!
We pulled out the carpets from the master bedroom and the living room, in the hopes that it is going to get rid of some of the smell that is in the house. Personally, I already think it smells a little better in there, but I'm not a big fan of the whole blackish-brown "church basement" tile flooring thing going on now. The entire house was tiled with the exact same tiles! In the process of removing the carpet from the living room, we also discovered a "lovely" thing. There is a crack running straight across the floor. A big enough crack that the floor on one side is about 1 1/2 inches lower than on the other side!! It doesn't go through the structure itself though, as it runs straight out the front door at the front of the room, and crashes into the brick pillar at the back of the room. So, we at least know our house isn't going to crumble and split from the bottom to the top!
This weekend we're going to try really hard to get the "master bedroom" fully finished. We're probably going to have to get some more flooring for it, as it used just a little more than half for the baby's room (we were taking a guess when we said it would probably be enough for the two rooms). I think we're probably going to need like 8 pieces of laminate. That's really not bad. Of course, we're also going to need laminate for the dining room, so I guess we'll likely get it all at once (makes it a TON easier to install the stuff when you have it all there and ready!). We may actually need to just purchase enough for both rooms. I suppose I should probably measure the dining room for that. I know that we need approximately 40 pieces for the bedroom, since it took about that much for the other bedroom, so I'm guessing we likely need about 60 for the dining room, but I'm not sure, as I don't know how big the room actually is.
I suppose another thing on the list for the coming couple of weeks is to tear off and replace walls, and then paint them my nice cheery yellow. I'd really like to be rid of the mint, pastel lime, and aqua greens before the baby comes. I think the kitchen is going to be the worst though! It's so... deteriorated! We pulled off the molding at the bottom, because the last people painted it black and we really don't feel like using a gallon of paint to cover the black on something that probably would cost less to simply replace. Anyway, the bottom portion of the wall came with it! The original plaster simply tore right off. Why, you might ask? Well, because the people were intelligent enough to stick the stuff on using... rubber cement! We don't ask questions about this house... we just smile and shake/nod our heads regarding everything we find, because things are often just that ridiculous!

Fleas *sigh*
We have fleas. In the apartment. Tell me, how, when all you have is two rats in a cage, do you get fleas??? My only explanation is that perhaps the critters chose to come home with us when we brought the rats home... There were apparently fleas on the dogs at the house where they stayed... *sigh*
Anyway, I called a local vet clinic that looks after all sorts of exotic pets, rodents, as well as your usual run of the mill cat or dog, and they said to let the rats swim for a bit (did you know rats can swim...?), and then use a flea comb dipped in listerine and comb their hair out, and it should remove most if not all flea residue, and then spray the entire apartment for fleas. Well, since we are moving in a couple of weeks, I figure we'll just live with the bugs for another couple of weeks, and then when we move I'll do a really good, thorough cleaning of the rats, and we'll spray the "frog" prior to setting things up in there, and we'll spray the cushioned furniture prior to moving it into the house, and *hopefully* by the end of it we'll have left the fleas behind at the apartment, where I will be really nice, and spray for whoever the next people are who are coming... after we clean the carpet (why *we* have to clean the carpet is beyond me... I would have thought that would be part of the "normal wear and tear" stuff...).
Oh, and I'm about to head over to the house to do a bit of work in the baby's room... we got all the floor laid last night, except for the last piece or two in the closet. Justin realized this morning that we'd missed that one spot, lol. Now though, I can put the book case in there, and start actually moving things from here to there, and all that... and get the baby's room set up (for the most part). I'm quite pleased to be able to actually have *A* room done! Now we just need the other bedroom, which actually had a set back, because the mud we bought grew mould, and I'm not really sure I trust it not to grow mould, even sitting in the open air for a week... anyway, other than that, we're about ready to paint that room, and now we know, flooring it will only take about three and a half or four hours, LOL. It shouldn't take that long, but it does, simply because the flooring we are using is from the kitchen and dining room and it is all warped and bowed and stuff, so things don't quite fit right! It took us 3 hours to do the baby's room... maybe we can do it that fast again in our room... hmmmm... :-)

It shouldn't take that long, but it does, simply because the flooring we are using is from the kitchen and dining room and it is all warped and bowed and stuff, so things don't quite fit right! It took us 3 hours to do the baby's room... maybe we can do it that fast again in our room... hmmmm... :-)
