Shower Madness/Baby Name

Well our goal last weekend was to get the master bathroom ready so we could have the carpet installed. While I was at work, David was able to remove the toilet from the bathroom and pull out the paneling. When he removed the paneling, he found a small wet spot on the drywall on the shower... so the drywall was not dry. In fact it was so not dry that you could stick your finger right through it. By the time I got home, a small section of the drywall had been removed to reveal... MOLD!!! YAY!!! So the plan was going to be to texture and paint the walls, tile the floor, replace the toilet, and redo the vanity... but now we are also adding redoing the shower to that list.



Anyway, in tearing out the shower, I learned an invaluable lesson regarding rust, nails, and tetanus shots. Somehow I managed to have a rusty nail slide down my arm and puncture my upper arm three times. It didn't bleed a lot. It just gave me three small holes and a really ugly bruise. I decided that I would not chance it and as of Monday morning, I became a proud recipient of a new tetanus shot. It didn't hurt so much until the next day - then my arm was just sore.

We did manage to strip the shower down to the studs. To my surprise, I found nailed to one of the studs - a can of Prince Albert! Must have been left when they built the house. I was hoping to find a can with a bunch of money stashed in it... but we couldn't get the can out, so I guess whoever rips the other wall out can have it.

On Sunday evening, Kayla and I sat down to discuss baby names. We were able to throw out the boy names now and focus on the girl names. Our list of first names was down to two names: Kadence and Kennedi. Kayla liked Kadence, but we were having trouble coming up with a middle name that flowed well with it. After looking at middle names, we came up with Lyn. It flowed well with Kennedi. It was short, and it was close to my middle name. We decided on Kennedi with an I, just for something a little different. Lyn had only one N pretty much for the same reason. We think it is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl! We can't wait for her arrival.
