I THINK we’re good on the internet situation. Poor Nate spent over 2 hours on the phone with Verizon trying to get the router and the modem to talk to eachother. Bleh.

Haha. Yes, the diamonds are a topic of dispute among many. The previous owners had a lot of Asian, African, and Southwestern decor. It didn’t blend, but it was one of those things where it was SO bizarre, it worked in its own way. If you like that sort of thing.

We love bright colors, so we kept the wall the same background orange, but painted over the diamonds. We have a lot of art to cover the walls, so having the wall solid is a good thing. They did some crazy stuff with Saltillo tile on the fireplace, the two kitchen islands, in the floor, and on the walls in some places. We’re keeping it on the fireplace and islands, and on the entry floor, so the orange paint helps it all blend. It is SO coming off the walls and out of the hardwoods though. I’ll show pictures.

Last night, I really thought I was going into labor. I was having contractions that wrapped all the way around into my back while I was laying down. They were about 12 minutes apart, and I made myself go to sleep, figuring I’d wake up in the wee hours once they got more intense. At the 1:30 potty break they were a bit stronger, and then when I woke up this morning at 7, they were gone.

I think I need to stop relaxing.

Now that I’m moved in, I’m taking jacuzzi baths,

(Yup, that’s the belly. Notice there aren’t any new stretch marks? How’d that happen? I’ve had new, bright red stretch marks every pregnancy until this one)

sitting in the hot tub, and laying on the couch. I should be more active if I want to get things going, but I’m tired and I don’t want to.
