Waiting for our engineer in shining armor... or whatever engineers wear.
As many of you already know, we were getting new flooring installed in our apartment last Thursday. Well, that's what we thought we were getting... actually, as you can see in the picture we are in for a lot more work on our floors and much more waiting for the work to be finished. After the old carpet was ripped out, we found the floor was riddled with cracks, including a 1/4-1/2 an inch gap around a few of the walls as seen in the picture to the left. You can see in the picture that the concrete below the crack in the floor is lower by about 1/2 an inch.
So what do we do? Well we are currently waiting for a structural engineer to come and inspect the floor. He is an expert in concrete floors... so we're thankful that he's going to do the inspection. However, while he is qualified he is not punctual, we were told he would definitely be over to inspect the apartment by Friday and now it is Saturday.
So, we're trying to be patient waiting for him to come so we can start the process. Regardless of when the work starts, it will probably be about three weeks until the work is finished and then we have to put flooring on the concrete.
Our idea of bringing a baby "home" has changed significantly. We are praying about where to go while the work (pending the inspection) is going on. Maybe he'll come and it will be an easy fix, or it could take longer than we think. We don't know what to expect. We would appreciate your prayers. Pray that we would trust the Lord , find joy in Him in the uncertainty, and not be anxious about these situations... that Becca would be able to continue to rest well and that she and the baby would stay healthy. The Lord is providing in so many ways and we are so thankful. We just want to glorify Christ in the way we handle everything that happens to us. We know that the Lord is trying to make us more like His Son through all of this. So we are thankful and hopeful.
Here is a picture of the crib that we put together and of Becca at 36 weeks. (She is 37 weeks now). Enjoy!
