19 Week Belly

Guess I should consider NOT wearing pajamas when we're taking pics that I'm going to post. Oh well....comfort is key these days.

Last week was a rough week. Felt like the first trimester all over again....just wanted to sleep and eat very filling food. Didn't get to work out at all last week either. Feeling great again this week though! Have worked out every day, which feels great.

Next week will be a BIG week. In addition to closing on our first house, we go to the doctor on Monday for the anatomy scan, where they will measure all the baby's body parts for progress. The head will surely be in the 130th% percentile. Also, they should be confirming that SHE is in fact a GIRL. If Dr. Moore changes his mind, it will definitely be a shock...and we'll have a lot of stuff to return already. Just hoping for a clean bill of health!! That's all that matters!!! Will hopefully get a lot more great 3D/4D pics. Think we can take a disc this time to save all the images on, too. If so, we'll definitely post them for your viewing pleasure.

Almost Moving Time

The shutters are complete and painted! I'm so excited about how the color turned out. We picked all the colors so long ago, I could barely remember the shade. Still love it!

The bannisters are stained, the carpet and floor installed....just need a really good cleaning and we'll be ready to move!

We had a spotless inspection on Wednesday, and walk through/orientation with the builder today. They just have a few cosmetic touch ups to do, and we'll close next Friday the 28th. We can hardly wait!!!

Baby Moving???

Everyone has been asking me if I've felt the baby move yet. I'm really not sure.....BUT I do feel something going on. People say it feels like a "flutter" or popcorn popping. A few weeks ago I was having some twitches in my lower pelvis, but it could have been the muscles stretching. The past few days, though, I have had "hard spots" for a few minutes here and there. Not to be gross, but it's similar to a gas pain without the gas. I'm starting to think that is the baby getting just close enough to my skin for me to feel the hardness of the body. That's what I like to think anyway!! I can't wait to KNOW what I'm feeling!!

Next doc appt: Monday, May 24th (20 weeks) ... should have confirmation that it's a girl!

Pups Turn Two!

I took the pups to City Dog Market on Saturday to get doggy birthday cake. They weren't real fond of the trip. Had to be held the whole time. There were a bunch of big dogs in there. They LOVED the cake though!!

Carpet & Hardwoods & Blinds, OH MY!

New blinds, pretty door handle, and a door bell!

Carpet and Hardwoods!

Snow Angel in my beautiful new closet! This will be my Happy Place.

New house progress...we're getting close!!!

The yard looks and feels much bigger now that it is fenced in and landscaped. Dale is just dreaming of his precious grill sitting in the garage awaiting him. He will probably grill out our very first night in the new house!
The microwave and dishwasher are in! Now just waiting on the oven/stove to be installed and have to go purchase a new fridge. We're crossing our fingers there are some great Memorial Day sales!!

We didn't get to pick any of the fixtures throughout the house, just the color/finish. I love this one in the dining room. I'm okay with the others, but not in love. Once there is furniture in the house they won't bother me I'm sure.

Most of the shutters are on the house! Now they just need a coat of paint. I thought they would paint them before hanging them...
