House progress

Our house is well on its way! Here are some pictures that we've taken over then last few weeks of the ongoing construction:


They did that much the first day...very nice start!

From the front...we are lot #184

This is going to be our powder room!

The second floor is looking good and the A-frames for the roof are going up.

From the front again...we are the third house from the right, this side of where the blue juts out.

Our loft window stands out, the only loft in our building.

More to come!

21 weeks

I looked down today and couldn't see my feet over my belly....and its only going to get bigger!

Lum's pond

A few weeks ago Martin and I went to Lum's pond to grill chicken for dinner. We managed to get everything cooked, but were hearing thunder in the distance. We took dinner up to the car just as the rain started pouring down, so we ate in the car. By the time we were done the rain had stopped and everything was beautiful. These pictures were all taken after the rain.

Baby update

we are having a girl!
The ultrasound was amazing. We could see our baby girl moving her hands and feet and she flipped from being head down to feet down during the ultrasound. Her little legs were crossed at the ankles the whole time -- so cute!

The baby looking at the camera. You can see the outline of her head, where the eyes and nose are, and the tip of her chin.

Profile shot that shows arms and legs!

The bright area along the bottom of her back is her spine!

At 19 weeks the baby weighs about 11oz.

Wilmington Blue Rocks

We went to see the Wilmington Blue Rocks game last night. They are a class-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals and in the same division as the Frederick Keys. A bunch of people from the church went and we had a really good time...especially when we found out that it was Star Wars night!

Me and all the little kids had pictures taken with Darth Vader! (he's force choking me...)

16 weeks

So the baby is about the size of an avocado this week...I love avocados!

15 weeks

15 weeks along now, and the baby belly is starting to show now. Hopefully we'll post every week from now on to show the progession!

Also, we have an ultrasound scheduled for August 15 -- we may find out then if we're having a boy or a girl!
