Holes, Water, and Mud!

Hey all! It's been a while since I posted, so here I am. Gaining weight, probably as we speak! :) My belly really sticks out nicely now. It's a lot of fun though. I have posted some ultrasound pictures of the baby for those of you who didn't get to see them. I'm feeling great, haven't ben sick since week 16 and I'm just started week 23 yesterday. Hard to believe I'm over half way there. It's gone so fast for me.

Well, it seems like everytime I post on this thing we have some new catastrophe, and yes, this will be another. So... I posted about our newly complete and very beautiful basement being complete. Well, last Monday morning (my birthday) we woke up to about an inch of water on the basement floor. All over our brand new carpet. It had been raining for about 4 days here. So needles to say, we spent the day at home sopping up water. We rented a huge fan and carpet cleaner and I ran the carpet cleaner ALL day and Josh installed a sump pump in our laundry room. That took care of the problem thank goodness. But we were exhausted. it could have been a lot worse though because luckily nothing was ruined. We were able to get all the water out of the carpet and are still running fans even though it's all dry. I guess just to be safe. I scrubbed the carpet yesterday because it no longer smelled new :(, but was really smelling musty from all the water and that took care of that. Febreeze is my friend! :) You should have seen our laundry room. COVERED in mud!!! Josh had to pound through the concrete floor and then dig like a three foot hole and install the sump pump. I really never thought it would be clean again, but it is, thank the Lord!

So that's that and I'm still very glad that day is over. It gives Josh and I a great feeling like we can conquer big things in our marriage. I know those things seem overwhelming and hopeless at the time... and VERY discouraging after so much work went into it, but you work together and get through it and after it's done you can look back and feel proud that you were able to get through it together. Right? all you married people? :)

I'll wrap here and say enjoy the pictures of our beautiful girl.... and no I still haven't talked Josh into letting me open the envelope. UGH!!! But I'm trying.
