in the process
Still being done
In the process describes something happening as a side effect or during the course of another action.
Often what occurs in the process is unintended or incidental: He tried to fix the leak and flooded the bathroom in the process.
It can also emphasize simultaneity: She's building a business and raising three kids in the process.
The phrase sometimes stands alone to mean an activity is ongoing: We're still in the process of moving.
