Oh Well

I had some really cool pictures to share of Patrick and I from Band Award Night, a picture update on the really cool blanket I am making, and I also wanted to share pictures of our newly painted bathroom. Well the bathroom was about two-three weeks ago. I just now had some time to work on updating the blog, and our little connecter to upload pictures is at the High School!!! Oh well I guess all of this will have to wait until Monday or Tuesday.

I would like to say happy birthday to all of our friends and family that have had a birthday recently. I am extremely sorry if I forgot to mail a card. My brain seems to have been removed from my body lately if I don't write down a to do list it doesn't get accomplished. So that everyone gets a happy birthday or happy anniversary:
May 12- Dianne (birthday)
May 13- Addison (birthday)
May 15- Elizabeth (birthday)
May 19- Chris and Lottie (anniversary)
May 23- Patrick (birthday)
May 25-Bill and Mike (birthday)
May 26- Jake (birthday)
May 27- Kim (birthday)
May 29- Alex and Pat (anniversary)

18 Weeks

This book is humorous and informative. I highly recommend it to others out there that are expecting. If you read this please let me know what you think.

Pictures so far...

12 weeks 18 weeks

I pretty much look the same and I am still having to tell people that I am expecting. I know that one day soon I will long for being this size. I am still in my regular clothes. I only have to use the belly band with the grey pants you see on the 12 weeks picture. I have been told that I am already taking up most of the bed. I am at the point that I am supposed to be sleeping on my left side so I have 3 pillows. I position one pillow in front of me, one at my back, and the other for my head. I joke and tell Patrick "just wait I am still little now".

Today at the Doctor's office I found out we will find out if we are having a boy or girl on April 11th if the baby cooperates.

The House Hunt Ends

They accepted our offer on the house today! Yahoo and Praise God!! We still have to go through the business part of having the place appraised and inspected but one major step is accomplished. Here are a few pictures but not all of the house picture are on here because it takes so long to upload. Anyway here they are and they are not in any particular order:

This is the front of the house and that is our realtor opening the door for us to have a look see of the place.

This is one of the bedrooms.
This will be our office room and then eventually a nursery.

This is the master bedroom I believe.

This is the bathroom. The half bath is on the first floor, but I didn't post the picture.

The stairs to the bedrooms and full bath.

The fireplace in the living room for those cold winter days and nights in Iowa!

The kitchen

The dining room. You can't tell from this photo, but I have a red room here folks!

The Garage

Goodbye part 2 with pictures!

Here are a few pictures of the weekend in Greenville. I got frustrated not being able to move the pictures where I wanted them on here, so they are in no order.

Patrick and I on the bridge in a beautiful park in Greenville.

Erika and Matt walking hand in hand across the bridge. They looked so cute I couldn't resist taking a picture of them.

Elizabeth the glowing new mom to be, and Dustin who always makes us smile.

Scott and Elizabeth the parents to be!

Chris and Katy

Thanks for the wonderful weekend you guys!
