We can't wait to meet you!


I had another ultrasound this week, yes, my 2nd one in less than 2 weeks. There were 2 reasons for this ultrasound. First, the baby was not in a good position to get all the pictures they wanted. Second, my amniotic fluid was on the low end of normal so they wanted to check that again.

The baby is still looking healthy and developing right on schedule. However, my fluid did not increase but also did not decrease. The range to be in is 10-20 and I am at a 10. I haven't heard from my Doctor yet about the results so I am assuming she is not worried yet. Worst case scenario is that I would have to be put on bed rest for a little while.

I am feeling very hopeful that I won't be on bed rest. I feel great and the baby is VERY active these days which is a good sign too!

Attack of the BELLY Monster!




My, oh, my! See how I have grown?


Here I am at 22 weeks. Every week is really pushing out that belly. The baby weighs about a pound now and will double it's size in the next 4 weeks!! That is a very rapid growth spurt compared to how long it's taken to get where it is so far.


Watch out MuuMuu, here I come!

Halfway House







As I have been promising, here are some pics of the remodel, finally. Last weekend we spent all of our free time at Lowe's or Home Depot. We purchased our master bath jetted tub and 2 toilets. Cool! We looked at lot's of other stuff we need but we have quite a few decisions to make yet. We are currently working on the kitchen layout/design. I say we need an island, Mark seems to disagree. Anyone want to chime in on this one? (Best bet would be to side with the hormonal pregnant lady at this point)

Putting all those decisions aside, we are so very excited for the finished product and every week brings new joy and vision for us. It's great to see it change everyday into what will be our new home for our new family. This is a very exciting and eventful time in our life and we are doing our best to not lose our minds! We are in the middle of 2 huge projects, the house and the baby on the way, which cannot be stopped. There is no procrastinating allowed here!
