Sorry, it's been awhile

Last monday we found a mold infestation in our bedroom.  LONG STORY.  Basically it stems from the drafty windows and lack of adequate heat creating cold and condensation, mold's favorite things.  It covered the wall of bay windows floor to ceiling, and wend all along the north wal behind the book case and the dressers.  the back of the dressers were covered, and the entire right side of the closet.  In the closet it took out Matt's wool winter overcoat, all our luggage and a number of random items.  The other things we took to dry cleaning, some with mold and some without.  It did not get my wedding gown or the evening gown I wore in Michelle's wedding... THANK GOD.

Anyways, it has been a wild couple weeks of negotiating with the property management to get them to take care of it, and take care of us in the process.  Tomorrow we will be moving to a hotel for two days while the repaint with special mold resistant material.  Next week they will be replacing all the windows in the bedroom and the living room with modern windows that both open and seal... how about that?  Now we won't have to pay to heat the whole city with the little gas heater on the wall because the windows won't have 1/4 inch gaps around the sills.

But to get them to pay for our damaged stuff we would have to take them to court.  which we may well do, since we have to replace our mattress to the tune of $1000.  Ah well, atleast we'll have a newly refurbished bedroom out of the deal.

So I had a midwife appt. today. Lovely as always.  I am 21 and a half weeks, I have gained 12 pounds.  On sunday I saw the baby moving from the outside for the first time, and Matt got to see it too.  Fun for him for sure.  He swears that Ava didn't move that much this early, so apparently this one is our monkey.

that's all.
