It's amazing how quickly the house is going up. Khoa took this picture on Friday, September 9th.
On Monday, September 12th, we did our first walkthrough with Guardian to map out exactly where we want our cable, data and telephone hook ups as well as the surround sound speakers. On Wednesday, September 14th, Khoa did a pre-drywall walkthrough with our Project Manager to make sure that we were happy with the light and outlet placements. It's such an incredible experience to be involved from the beginning of the build. Check out the video of the walkthrough...
I have created this small space in cyberworld to keep everyone up to date on what is going on in my life. The title obviously draws its inspiration from my profession as an OB/GYN (props to my family for thinking of it) but encompasses so much more in life than just the labor of childbirth. There are so many things that I have loved to labor over through the years, and I can't wait to share them with all of you.

Progress
Well - we have made significant progress on the home front. Unfortunately the build is moving along faster than I am able to post my blogs, so this one is a combination of last week and this week's pictures. Last Saturday all we had down was the framing to our basement. To our surprise, we drove by yesterday and found one of our neighbors "walking through our house." The frame of the first floor is up. It's incredible how quickly they move...
Diana came to interview at Magee last weekend and stayed with us Friday night. We had some good sushi at Taipei Tokyo and went for a healthy breakfast at Pamela's the following morning.
| After we dropped Diana off at the airport we walked around the Shadyside Art Festival. We fell in love with this piece of art (and actually all of the art from this artist) and purchased this piece. Check out Julie-Keaten Reed. Her pieces are magnificent. We can't wait to figure out the rest of our wall space. |
As the day was winding down we walked past this sign in the window. Now I love frozen yogurt, especially the pinkberry/razzy fresh tart kind. I just hope that when Happy Berry orders their real storefront sign, they get the spelling right... (ugh)
So this is the structure we found 6 days later...
This is the garage...
This is the back of the house...
And across the street we found our jet tub for the master bathroom. Hopefully the rain water is cleaned out before we move in... ;)
