Living Room Picture

I know it isn't much but here is at least a picture of the living room. The house is finally starting to come together. We are getting dining room furniture delivered next Wednesday and they are also coming to paint the upstairs bedrooms that day. We were going to paint them ourselves and then decided against it and hired the same guy that did the rest of the house to come back. More pictures will be posted eventually :)

14 Week Belly Picture

Here is the belly pic some of you have been asking for. This was taken yesterday. I'm 14 weeks and 2 day. I have another doctors appointment today. Maybe I'll have some more pictures to share tomorrow. I'm not scheduled for a sonogram, but the nurse said they were going to try and squeeze me in anyway. :)

Spring Break

Yeh - It is finally here (almost)! Only 5 more hours of kids for me and then an entire week off! We leave for Florida early Sunday morning and will be there through Thursday. We are both looking forward to a relaxing few days of no school stuff, no house stuff and no pool stuff! Danny's mom and stepdad will be there as well. We haven't seen them since the wedding, so it will be nice to see them again.

I'll post a belly picture soon because there is starting to be something to actually take a picture of now :)

Sonogram Video

Sonogram Video

This is my first attempt at adding video to the blog. I hope it works. It is just over a minute I think. The doctor is zooming in and out so that is why it goes black sometimes. The head is on the left side of the video and one of the hands is in the bottom middle. He/She was quite active - I think that at one point they are actually waving at us. We really need to come up with a "name" for the baby so I don't have to use "they, it or he/she" all the time.

Okay - obviously didn't work....I'll keep trying.

Dr. Appointment Yesterday

Wow how time flies. I am almost out of the 1st trimester. Hopefully it takes with it the crummy stomach that seemed to go along with it. That is what everyone keeps telling me anyway. I'm hoping they are right.

I had a dr. appointment yesterday and had another sonogram. I can't believe how the little one has grown in such a short time. We were both pretty amazed that it was more than a little blob on the screen. Last time the heartbeat was 120 and this time it was 182. Not sure what that means about having a boy or a girl.

The baby was pretty active yesterday afternoon so we got some good video. A friend of mine is going to try and get just a few seconds of it so I can post it on here. For now a still picture will have to do.

Officially Closed

We have officially closed on the old house. It was quite the ordeal yesterday to get everything done. Bank of America couldn't get their act together and get the paperwork to the Title Company. We were supposed to close at 9:00am yesterday and it actually happened at 5:00pm. Danny had to swing by the Title Company on his way to the state swim meet. Athletes in the car waiting for him and everything. He signed a Power of Attorney so I could sign for him since he was going out of town until Saturday. I went and signed the papers on my way to the track meet. Like I said it was a little crazy. Megan - don't let this discourage you in your house buying process :)

I was a little sad the other night when we got the last of the outside stuff from the old house. I was sitting on the deck and it was a gorgeous night and it made me a little sad to leave behind all the hard work that has been done to that house, especially the deck. I guess Dad will have to make another trip to get something built at the new house. Right, Dad?

Now that we have closed on the house we can go get some dining room furniture and stuff for the movie room. Right now we can sit in the movie room and watch a blank wall. We have to figure out what tv we want in there and then surround sound. And who we are going to get to install it all, because that is not a job that we are going to undertake.

I know that a lot of you have been asking for pictures of the new house and I'm sorry I don't have any to post yet. Here's the problem....the last thing I want to do is empty boxes and get stuff organized when I get home, so I don't want to take pictures of boxes laying around everywhere. I'm finally starting to feel better at the end of the day, so hopefully I'll get my act together and get some stuff done around the house so I have it presentable to even take pictures. The other problem is that we don't have the internet at our house yet, so I have to get the pictures to my school computer to even put them on here. I know, I know - these are just excuses. I'll try in the next week!

Look for baby pictures next week. I have my next appointment on Tuesday! Hard to believe I'm 10 weeks already.
