Info for the Curious

No real title or even train of thought for tonight. I've just realized that several of you are looking to this post for updates- and there haven't been any for awhile.

really, it's because nothing much has been changing. We were negotiating (very firmly, and in lawyer language, and with "counsel") with the insurance company so that we could use our contractor of choice and have our exact same kitchen cabinets again. Tomorrow the last cabinets are supposed to be removed (thrown away!) and work is officially to begin on Monday. (Nearly a month after the damage!). So, we're getting the bathroom done, the kitchen redone, the walls and floors fixed. Then we basically have to unpack the whole house (packed from the lead removal in June). Everything needs cleaned (lots of dust from the big blowers that dried the house while the plaster fell down). All the bushes are overgrown. My garden is dead (as well as ALL my plants). I kind of feel like we'll be starting over when we move back in.

We are happily doing life here at the T's. Things feel as normal as they can be in someone else's home. The T's are wonderful. It's an amazingly good situation.

No baby yet. We're kind of surprised since I am over 38 weeks. The other children came at 37 and 38 weeks. BUT, we joke that this is my first "real" JuicePlus baby (the entire pregnancy). . . and statistically JP babes tend to stay in longer and weigh more. That sounded good up until a few weeks ago! I stll believe it's good, but Braden is getting really anxious. From the beginning, he claimed the baby would come on his birthday. Now that the day is drawing to a close, I guess we may actually make it closer to August.

So my updates don't seem like big updates. Life keeps going on. I will keep posting!
