13 Weeks

So I'm 13 weeks and I'm just barely starting to show. It could even just be a 'chubby' day that I'm mistaking for 'showing', but either way, there's a tiny bump there. I'm feeling great and Ricky's way excited. He's been great asking every day how I'm feeling, how things are going, what can he do to make me more comfortable, and just being a great husband/future daddy. We still haven't heard the heartbeat, but I know it's there becase we've seen it pumping nice and strong all 3 times. But the little guy/girl is still too small for us to hear it. When we had this ultrasound done, I was a little nervous so the tech said that because I was nervous, the baby gets nervous too and was jumping around and was all hyper. She had a hard time getting a clear picture cuz the baby was moving around so much. She finally got a good shot and put the picture up on the tv for us to see. The baby was doing some dancing/jumping/cha cha dance and was moving all over the place....then he/she just stopped for a second, arched his/her back and took a big long stretch, and then calmed down and was still for the rest of the time. We already have a spunky one on our hands. =0 ) But everything's great and the baby so far is doing great and seems to be healthy and have everything in place. We'll hopefully get to find out what we're having in about 2 weeks.

I can't figure out how to turn the pictures upright, so for now, sorry for the crooked pictures. I'll have to work on my computer skills and try to turn them for the next post.

More House

By the way, I gave my first ever hair cut. Ricky let me practice on him. =0 ) He pretended like he hated it, but it really turned out ok. I wasn't going for great...as long as it look 'fine,' I was happy!!!

Here's what the house looks like now with a little bit less construction. The front yard is done, (thanks to everyone for helping dig the holes and for my mom's wonderful plant housewarming gifts), and the kitchen is just about done as well. I'll have to get more pictures of the upstairs though.
David helped us do our backsplash...he did a FANTASTIC job!!! It's so gorgeous! Still a working progress of course, but it looks so nice!!!

Below is the view from the front door looking back at the kitchen.And this is the opposite view...looking from the kitchen to the front door. Right off the front door to the right is the downstairs bedroom.

This is our backyard. Nice, huh? =0 ) Ok, not so nice yet...but it will be. Ricky can't wait to start landscaping and get his garden all set up. And here's the front of our house. The front window downstairs is the downstairs bedroom, and the two windows above the garage is our laundry room. It's so nice!!! And we basically redid all the front yard plants. We kept the trees and a couple plants, but most everything is new. as

Our new house!!!!

We finally purchased our new home about a month ago. We moved in the weekend of my brother and sister in law's wedding weekend, September 5th, 2009. We LOVE our home and LOVE decorating and we LOVE that it's ours to keep. =0 ) I thought I'd put some pictures up on here for everyone to see.

This was our last day moving out of our first place together...our lovely apartment. =0 ) Peace out 2160....Hellooo 7630!!! This is Ricky putting our cabinets together. He did such a great job!!

We somehow mixed up the placement of 2 base cabinets, so we ended up having to order a different size upper cabinet to go over the stove. So our progress stopped at this point for about a week.

-----PICS-----

Here are some pictures of Ricky and I that my AWESOME sister-in-law edited for me!

New to this...

We finally have a blog! It's proving to be more difficult than expected.
