Rain rain go away

What a yucky day! Although when it's raining like this, I suppose I'd be stuck inside the house anyway, right?!

My baby shower was this past weekend - it was so much fun! I really enjoyed seeing all my family and friends, and also getting so much of what we need for the babies. My sisters, mom and aunt did such a great job putting everything together, but I can't believe that now it's over - I feel like bridal and baby showers are rights of passage, you know? And now I've had all the showers I'm ever going to have :( That said, it's hard to feel anything but excitement about getting to meet these babies soon! My friend Kim brought her new daughter Isabelle, who is only 3 weeks old. I got to hold her, and all I could do was stare at her! Babies are such little miracles - it's so amazing to me that these little tiny squirming bundles develop so quickly into little people who have their own thoughts and feelings and opinions... like I said, it just makes me so excited to meet our babies!

On the bathroom front, things are still moving a bit slowly, but I've been assured that they're about to start to pick up. The tile should be just about finished after today, and tomorrow the finish carpenters are coming in to start putting back all the woodwork and everything. They're also going to put up the beadboard in the guest bathroom. Our contractor, Chad, promised that we would have a shower by this weekend, and the painters could start as early as Saturday, if not Monday. By next week things should start to feel very close to finished! Our new master shower is amazing, it feels so big and spacious, and the tile looks beautiful. I can't wait to use it!
