We are having a baby!!!!

Hello,

Susan and I are having a baby in early September!

She took the test on Christmas morning, and the result was the best Christmas gift ever. Unfortunately, while on the train back to Chicago, and ever since, Susan has had quite a case of morning sickness. But, according to the books, morning sickness is supposed to end at the end of the first trimester. We hope that March will bring some relief.

In other news, our remodeling project is progressing nicely. When we purchased the condo, it looked like the prior owners maybe owned their own paint sprayer and had some old paint lying around which they sprayed on. The problem with that is that there were drip marks everywhere, they didn’t bother masking anything, all the outlets were just sprayed over, and absolutely every wall and ceiling in the place was the same “prison off-white”. So before we left for Oregon, we spent many days prepping, and once we returned, the condo was ready for paint.

In the next few weeks, I’ll be installing laminate flooring in our kitchen, living room, and dining room. Unfortunately, Home Depot doesn’t have the stuff we like anymore. We had decided on a beautiful oak laminate, but we waited too long to purchase it…

Anyways, this is our new blog. My goal is to have regular baby updates!

Peace,

Matt
