Another attempt?

Maybe the 3rd times the charm here?
Things have gotten a little busy, but looking back, im ashamed to see that my last post was way back in December! Shame on me! my poor hubby has done a tremendous amount of work since then and i havent talked about it!
Since December, as most of you well know, we have had our baby girl :) and here we are 4 months later! Time really flies!
All the drywall finally got hung, then started the Bathroom reno.
Most of you know how SMALL the bathroom was at one time! David had been talking for sometime about making it bigger. We had wasted space in the hall to expand. Since we were expecting, then was the time to do it. So, he did! starting out it seemed like and easy enough job. (Im coming to think thats how all these projects start!) Just make a new wall, bust out the old, lay new floor, and POOF! new bathroom!! if only it happened that way! The wall went up without a hitch! Thanks to some fatherly help! Then came time to take out the existing walls, made of cinder block! I thought this would be the hard part, but little did i know!
Starting from the old chimney in the attic, David made his way down with wall #1. Then the next, then the next. This went a lot faster than I had anticipated! great! this should be done in no time with time to spare for baby prep!! not so much! after ALL the plumbing...fixing the hotwater line, figuring out why the hotwater heater wasnt working, moving the drain pipe, replacing all the hotwater lines all together etc...lets just say for a little while i was peeing in a pot due to no toilet, and showering at the Y due to no bathtub! Long story short, the bathroom is now complete! (minus a few minor details!) and our baby girl is here with us! these will be memories we will never forget!
