This is our friend, Stratton, who has been showing Ryan the ropes of tiling. We are grateful for his help.
Ryan had to tear up three layers of vinyl and one layer of 1/2 inch particle board, which was stapled AND nailed down. He finally just used a crowbar-like tool to pry it all up. It took him much longer than he had expected--typical of home renovation projects.

This is me and baby at 34 weeks (as of today we’re at 35 weeks and 3 days—and, yes, I’m counting). I can feel his feet kicking my ribs and grazing the inside of my uterus. He is quite active. He is now in a head-down position and let’s hope he stays that way. I had a very vivid dream last week. I dreamt that I was standing in front of a mirror looking at my bare belly. The sun then shone on me from the window behind and turned my skin around my abdomen translucent. I saw a little (fully clothed) baby with dark hair sucking on his fist and snuggling up to me. I called for Ryan in my dream to come and look. As I yelled, the baby shifted his position to be head down. Then my belly went back to normal. I think that I’m preparing, in my dreams at least, for birth and motherhood. I’ve read that lucid dreams of the baby are quite common in the weeks leading up to birth, but I count this a unique and precious vision.
