15-Week Check-up

Today Barbara and Pastanoodle had their 15 week check up with Dr. Tran. Everything was fine and Pastanoodle's heartbeat was at 150 beats per minute.

In about 3 weeks we will see another doctor for an intense 2nd ultrasound. It will determine any possible problems with our pregnancy. Our next appointment with Dr. Tran is at 19 weeks.

2006-07-16 #1 Old Masterbath Photos with Sneak Preview Photo

1 day? I meant one week, of course. Below are pictures of the master bathroom as we inherited it. The wall paper and blinds were both very high quality - but just so wrong for so many reasons. This led to the first quick make-over in 2003. The 2006 complete make-over is 1/2 done, and a sneak preview photo is shown below. The photo is of the shower being tiled with tumbled marble 6 inch tiles. So far, so good!

2006-07-09 Master Bathroom Good-Bye

Monday morning 7/10/06 work began on the paint-shedding roach-infested master bath. A disastrous attempt to paint the tile by the folks who flipped the house to us has led to a constant condition of ugly flaky paint. The house flippers did not even paint the green-ish tile floor - ugh! It appears that when the house foundation was raised in 1996 the shower drain was partially separated from the sewer pipe - leading to a sink hole under the house that breeds vermin. These and many other reasons have led to this project. Tomorrow - pictures of the bathroom when we bought the house. Not pretty!

2006-07-01 Barb's Birthday

On 7/1/06 we threw a stealth birthday party for Barbara. Through the intermittant rain Nick grilled some burgers and all ate well. For some reason the camera was focused on kids...

Announcing... PastaNoodle!

Press Release: 7/1/06 - The Pastalaniec Family, LLP. announced the release of details about Project PastaNoodle. PastaNoodle was officially kicked off 12.5 weeks ago and development has constantly accelerated since. The picture at left shows PastaNoodle about 7 weeks after the project began. Analysis by 3rd party auditors also reported a 170 beat per minute heartbeat 11 weeks after the project's inception. The 3rd party auditors - Houston Women's Care Associates - has been ordered by Pastalaniec Family to maintain secrecy surrounding PastaNoodle's final form: "male" or "female," even from company leaders.

Pastalaniec Family's two founders, David and Barbara, are quoted as being "thrilled" and "excited" about the project. Pastalaniec Family's main offices in Houston are being remodeled to make room for PastaNoodle. The office wing formerly known as "Guest Bedroom" will be formerly dedicated as headquarters for Project PastaNoodle towards the end of fiscal year 2006.

Project PastaNoodle was kicked off after 2 years of effort by the company's founders with assistance from outside consultant Dr. Russel Williams. Founder David said "This company owes a debt of gratitude to Dr. Williams and wishes him well in his new endeavor, the Pathways to Pregnancy website."

Pastalaniec Family estimates that the first phase of the project, currently being referred to as "gestation," will be completed on January 10th, 2007. The 2nd phase of the project will be kicked off at Texas Women's Hospital, where the project's official name will be announced once the final form of the project is determined. Founder Barbara said, "We believe that the addition of PastaNoodle to Pastalaniec Family LLP will have a positive impact on the company's bottom line for years to come."
