Doctors Appointment and House Pics and Update

I had a checkup today and things went well. The best part was that I brought Kylan with me to hear the heartbeat and I am so glad that I did because he was so excited to hear it! When we got to the car he immediately had to call his dad and tell him about it. At my appointment in April we will make an appointment for my ultrasound, so that should be the middle of May.

The house is moving right along. The sheet rockers are there today and will be done by Tuesday or Wednesday. Once they are done we will be painting everything and then hopefully have the carpet layed the next week and then we start moving. I am so excited, unless I think too much about what moving implies, then I am overwhelmed, so I try not to dwell on that part! Here are a few pictures I snapped yesterday afternoon:

I thought it was interesting that under the wood paneling you could tell where there had originally been a large window.

The new shower in the master bathroom. We were just going to keep the shower that was already there, but it was all rotted out. When we started taking it out we found that the tile was layed over random materials such as brick, cinder block, and random rock. We have found a lot of things like this in the house.

The view of everything opened up from the kichen bar.

Kylan's birthday is on Monday and he wanted to have his party at his new house, but unfortunately until the sheet rockers are done we don't have running water or full electricity (they can't finish the plumbing until the other is done), but we will be moved in before too long!

News Flash

I just felt the baby move for sure a few minutes ago! Such an exciting feeling!!! Fun for now, but not so fun in a couple months, however I know there really is life in there!

Baby's Baby's Everywhere!

It seems like people I know are pregnant in phases. Phase One of my friends/relatives who are pregnant have started having their baby's over the last week and it is making me very excited to meet this new little one of ours. It is so true that you forget all that you actually go through having the baby between babies, (but not completely). Whenever I think about holding this one for the first time images of Mya's birth come to mind (and not the good ones after she arrived). Then I remind myself that Dr. Reimer has promised me my epidural this time around, but really what does that mean??!! Oh well, the baby will come out, it won't be pleasant, but I will live, and I will have a sweet baby, be sleep deprived, still survive and have another wonderful child in my life!
There was another point to this post before I started rambling . . . I just want to say congrats to Abe & Lindsey on the arrival of Crew a little over a week ago and Afton & Bryan on the arrival of Brooke a week ago also!
AND . . . good luck to: Rayanne, Kari & Corinne in the next couple weeks. I can't wait to see your little ones and I really can't wait to find out if I am getting a new niece or nephew!
And one more big congrats to Karin & Bert on announcing that they are expecting! I'm so excited that we are both having our #3's within a month of each other!

The Wall is Down!

Here is a timeline in pictures of taking it down:

Before we started.

Just the beginning

The fireplace finally gone - it took a jack hammer to get it all out (Thanks Sam, you saved us!)

From the door to the car port.

From the front door.

Looking straight through to the kitchen.

I was so excited to see this after a not so good day subbing! We are so excited!!!

They also put the new bath tub in today:

After 13 Months . . .

and a week or two, Mya has finally gotten her first tooth!!! It was already through before I even knew she was getting it!! That is one great thing about my kids getting their teeth so late, it doesn't seem to be too tramatic. I have had to give her tylenol once or twice the last couple days (I think the other one is coming in), but she has done great!!! YAY! She will be able to bite into food soon!!!
P.S. She beat her brother by two months!!!
