Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

I am supposed to be setting those duck eggs friday. I dread having ducks in my house beyond the end of January. Four weeks will be long enough! Jaz will love having them around. I just hope they keep quiet when we are trying to sleep!

I wonder if Lily and Jojo (I have only had them a week, but I can't make myself call her Casey. Oh well) would hurt the babies if I added them at eight weeks? It's so tempting to try.
 
Most (not that there are that many of us) of you remember that I have a habit of tearing up flooring. The kitchen, living room, bathroom and nursery are the past victims. Today I finally took up a portion of an upstairs bedroom. There is a board that has been feeling dangerously weak, and I had to see what was going on. Last night I moved some furniture (you know how I like to get into these projects late at night) but quit when I remembered that I had just gotten out of the shower, and didn't want to get dirty again.
I discovered there is a decent sized area of weaker boards. None bowing more than maybe a half inch. I REALLY want to get the crib moved up there! Imagine walking out of your bedroom, the hall is three feet wide. You part a curtain (okay, a stadium blanket) and there is the baby, against the back wall of a 8 foot wide room. If you are quiet, you can go to the bathroom. If she is awake... You better hold it unless you want her up. And lately I have been getting trapped in the bathroom. She is waking at 6 in the morning, and will go back to sleep if she doesn't hear me washing my hands or anything.
Plus I can't watch television. Six days a week of no television. Not that it is horrible, but when the voices in your head can't be quieted. And all you think about... You know I need a distraction.
So, the room has been cleaned out of 99% of breakables, and I just need to vacuum. Then the fun part. Taking apart a crib I had my mother put together!

For best results (and peace of mind) I should put sheet metal under the carpet. Unfortunately, it's all trapped in the mess in the garage. I have some wood slats I will be placing under the feet of the crib. It will look like runners. The floor boards are diagonal, so the runners being horizontal will add support.
I also tested the temperature, and it isn't as cold as I thought. The heat vent actually works pretty well once the window is closed.

The top window had slid downward some. I hadn't noticed until two days ago when I finally went to check the window for air leaks.
 
Make sure you have a super duty baby gate at the top of the stairs. When she figures out how to escape the crib, you'll need it. That is, if she doesn't fall through the weak spot in the floor first!

We are on page 665. Uh ohhh!
I don't think that she will come through the floor. I talked to two carpenter friends (who live too far away to take care of the floor) who agree it's still safe.
 
I guess we are! I will go see what weird or funny things my girls did so I will have a lot to post! I was confused at first because on my desktop version it is like page 1000 something. On mobile(which I am on now) it is 665.
