Painting...

We worked on the house all weekend. We have the front totally done and the right side done except the trim. Next weekend we will do the left side and the back, hopefully it won't rain. Here are some pictures...

Working on the house....

Next time you see our house, it will no longer be blue! We spent all weekend caulking the nail holes and seams in the siding. Next weekend, as long as it doesn't rain we will finish caulking and start painting. I'm worn out. It's hot out and not a fun job. The house needs it desperately though, and it will look so nice once it's finished. We are painting it a dark khaki with white trim and black shutters. I think it will look MUCH better. Will post pictures once we have finished!

Dr. appt today...22 weeks 3 days

Everything looked fine! It was a short appt. today, the next one will be long. I'll have the Gestational Diabetes test, the appt. with the Dr., and an ultrasound. She took my blood today because she thinks I may be anemic, so we'll see I guess. I'm going to attempt to add some pictures from his first ultrasound...he was about 6 weeks at the time.

Here's a picture of him now! 22 weeks, 3 days. *he's waving hi, I can feel it!*





We are working on getting his room ready. So far we have a Glider Rocker and a toy rack from Polly (THANK YOU!!!) and a crib! The crib we got at a secondhand store and got a GREAT deal. It's perfect! We went to a big consignment sale last Saturday...again thanks Polly for the heads up! We got an awesome highchair that matches what we've picked out for his bedding. We also got a baby gate, his crib mattress and some clothes! We had so much fun picking out stuff for him. Mom can't stand an empty mattress, so he already has a sheet and blanket... It's starting to come together! He even has 3 diapers!

Give me a bit to get this going!

This is our first blog, so give me a little time to figure it out and get some pictures on here. We wanted to do this so friends and family that aren't close by can watch Gavin grow and learn! Until then we'll watch ME grow!
