In March we started a complete bathroom remodel because our upstairs bathroom was pretty old and disgusting and there's a chance we will be selling our house within the next year and a half if we get assigned as overseas missionaries. Matt had three days off from work and my parents came to help and watch Blake. Of course these things always take much longer and are much more expensive than expected, and it ended up taking a total of two weeks. The hardest part for me was going without an upstairs toilet for a few nights, since I'm now almost 30 weeks pregnant and have to get up several times in the night! We also had tools and chemicals everywhere and it was difficult to keep Blake away from everything. Thank goodness we had my parents helping! My dad also helped quite a bit with the dirty work, as did my mom. They stayed for a week and we couldn't be more grateful. We had a bathtub to use the entire time, since they put the new one in right away, but it was hard to be without a shower for two weeks. Thankfully our neighbor let us use theirs some, so we didn't go completely without. Towards the end Matt got really sick, probably from trying to do too much (working and then coming home to work on the bathroom). He is just starting to recover after over a week. Unfortunately now Blake and I have it. Hopefully it won't be as bad! Here are some pictures of the remodel and finished product. We absolutely love it!

the bathroom looks great Ellie! Im impressed that you, Matt and your parents did evrything! Good job! :) And I cannot believe how big Blake is getting!
This looks awesome! Nice work :)
You’ve done so much to improve your bathroom it doesn’t look anything like the one in the before photos, Ellie! It's the fruit of labor from the hardworking hands of your husband and your Mom and Dad. From fixing the plumbing set-up to installing the bathtub and tiles, everything just looks so much better. Excellent job, guys!
