Pool update



The pool process has been moving along. It has felt like forever for sure, but has only been a little over a month since they dug the hole. Tomorrow is supposed to be a big day if the rain holds off. They will pour the concrete for the pool deck, so no more dirt... whoo hoo! They are also suppose to brick the detached garage in the next couple of days. After they get the concrete all poured they will come in and do the landscaping, then they will clean out the pool really good then come in with gunite/plaster and spray one last time. THEN....we get to fill it up with water! HOT DOG! The are saying everything should be done in the next 2-3 weeks. POOL PARTY, what what!

Pool progress

Today has by far been the busiest day at our house, as far as all the workers goes. There are probably at least 15 people working on different projects. The have already tripped the outside breaker three times now because they have so many tools going at once. A nap in our house is not an option. Thank goodness we are getting all this done before the baby comes.

Starting the steps to the pool deck.
Laying the brick and concrete for the steps.


Picking and choosing which stone piece to use.


Trying to find the perfect fit.


After they put the stone and concrete on they saw off the ends to make it straight and smooth.


The stone around the hot tub.

Starting on the waterfall.



Picking and choosing the rocks to go on there.


In case you you wondering how they carried the huge rocks.


It is like a giant puzzle. They just pick out random pieces of rock and piece them together. It is starting to come together.

Preggers round 2

I am 11 weeks today, so far this pregnancy has been much different than my first one. I found out I was pregnant with Skylar at 4 weeks also, I did not throw up at all, had the perfect pregnancy. This one has not been bad AT ALL just much different. I have been sick a few different times, those prenatal vitamins make me throw up as well, I get up every night to pee and I have had really bad headaches. And of course I have been super tired and dragging a bit. I am thinking because of the different lifestyles maybe? When I was pregnant with Sky I was working full time and always busy, in a different way that I am now. Now, I stay at home and have another human to take care other than myself and the fetus. Sometimes I even feel bad or guilty because I have not had the energy I usually have and feel like I let Skylar down some by not playing or wanting to rest. I am ready for the second trimester just so I get my energy back up. We have had two ultrasounds so far and this past one(Tuesday) was so fun! "Butterbean" was moving around so much and even waved to us. Skylar and Jonathan really enjoy watching it, as do I of course, but this is all new to them. I am thinking it is a boy just because the pregnancies have been different. My family is all convinced it is too because I have been sick. We will see, can not wait to find out so I can start shopping! And start thinking of nursery ideas. Yay!

BTW.....this is not at all complaining, just informing you all of how I have been feeling. :)
