PSA for Women

This may or may not be TMI depending on who you are but it needs to be said. I was regular with my yearly paps until Spenser was born. I have to admit it had been years since I had one. No real reason except that they'd always been fine. Jon & I had been trying for a year or more to get pregnant & it wasn't working. Even with ovulation kits, nothing was happening & I just couldn't understand why. Frustrated, I went to my OBGYN for an explanation. They did a pap smear & it came back loaded with pre cervical cancer cells, meaning it was just a matter of months before I would have full blown cervical cancer. I've had 2 operations to get it out & once the doctor gave Jon & I the go ahead for sex, we got pregnant that very first time! The cancer cells had blocked the entrance& therefore I couldn't get pregnant.  Basically not getting pregnant had saved my life. Moral of the story, get your yearly pap!!!!

New bathtub

Our bathtub has been leaking into the kitchen ceiling light so Jon has been installing a new tub for about the past few weeks. A very big undertaking. In the end we had our friend Robbie finish it.

Taking the old one out



It's all gone!



New one is coming together


Just need to caulk & drywall a little & it will be done!
