It's a Boy

We are having a boy!

Proof: Just in case you need a little more confirmation.

We are having a boy! We went to the doctor today and we were both very excited to go. The doctor said everything looks really good and that it looks like I am going to be having a big baby. Don't ask we where that will possibly fit in my body. We mentioned that Tim was 10 lbs when he was born and lucky for me she said she would not let that happen. We go back to the doctor again in four weeks and they are going to do another ultrasound to check the size of him. We are glad they are going to do another ultrasound because he would not stopping moving and kept hiding his face so unfortunately she could not get the best picture. But we did get some great ones of his hand covering his face.

This last picture is the best on of his face. He is looking to the left and you can see his arm raised in the air and a pretty good view of his lips. As she was checking to make sure everything looked normal he would not stop kicking and pushing his arms all over the place. He is not even born and already he is a hyper boy. As for those of you waiting for me to post picture of myself you might be waiting a little while. There is now a slight bump but nothing much. I can no longer do my pants up- but belly bands are wonderful invention!

Finishing the Basement

We have been working on the basement for what seems like a century. Although when I say "we" I mean mostly my dad, with some help from Tim when he is not working. They have done everything on there own from the framing, to electric work, hanging sheetrock, and the dreading taping, mudding and sanding. We realized that Tim's parents are coming out in February and really pushing to get it done by then (since our two spare rooms upstairs are a little full at the time being -one is full with things from the basement and the other with baby things).

Finally finished tapping, mudding, sanding. Family room downstairs Jan 4th.

Bedroom

More of the family room.

We planned on painting sometime during that next week. But based on the rate we had been moving I don't think either of us believed that it would actually get done (and earlier then scheduled). Thanks to my wonderful friend Craig (he works for his uncle who paints homes, etc) he called Saturday the 5th and was able to come over with a sprayer and everything needed. Him and Tim painted for a couple of hours and before you know it the walls and ceilings were done! I just wish I had a picture of the two of them covered in paint from head to toe.

Bathroom (as if you couldn't tell by the shower)

Family room looking back into the bedroom on the left

We have the doors and trim that should be arriving soon (1 week) and then the painting will start up again on those. The carpet/tile people are coming tomorrow to measure and that will hopefully take just a day after the doors and trim are put in!!!!

Christmas Pictures

We finally have our camera! Don't get to excited though because I will not be keeping you as updated as my cousins. Yes Stephanie and Stacey I am talking about you, I have decided you both have too much time on your hands -even though you both have cute little babies to brag about. Here are a few picture we took on Christmas when the camera was working. We had a wonderful holiday -and still have not taken down the Christmas tree.

Christmas eve was great- although Logan was pounded with snow that evening. Tim worked all day and then we headed to my parents for dinner. Our wonderful neighbors the Hartzheim's joined my family for a Christmas eve dutch-oven dinner (his family was in Germany and hers was in Texas). As to what should have taken about 20-25 minutes to get from our homes to my parents home ended up taking a forever long 45 minutes and we were all starving. Tim and I spent the night I my parents house and somehow managed to wake up before Hunter on Christmas morning.

Boys will be Boys.

Everyone (including my parents) recieved there own Nerf tag set.
Lets just say that these three got a little carried away.

I find this picture to be quite disturbing in many ways.

Hunter about to tag Tim.

Tim running to safety, he managed to get caught in the middle.
