Our House So Far...

Scott and I have been working on our house that we bought about 6 months ago on and off for awhile now. We still have a LOT to do, but we are very happy with what we have done so far. We still need to change out the ugly brown doors,baseboards,add more art, finish the kitchen, etc.... But I love my Yellow room! we just finished it this last week. We love owning a home and being able to do whatever we want with it. SO much fun....but lots of hard work! Now we just need to start working on the babies nursery. Here are some pics, so enjoy :)

IT'S A......

BOY!

We are so excited and happy! We always wanted a boy first....even though I secretly wanted a girl because of all the bows and cute clothes, haha ! But HE is healthy and growing fast and kicks me everyday. :) I can't wait to meet my little man! We are still tossing names around and probably won't settle on one until we meet him. We want to make sure the name fits him. Only 18 more weeks to go! Ahhhhhh so crazy. 

Oh BABY!

I'm completely in Love already with this little baby :) Gender announcement to come this weekend after we have our gender reveal party with our families! So excited!!

20 Weeks! :)

Wow! 20 Weeks already?! Time is sure flying and I'm happy about that. I still don't really feel as though it's real and I don't really feel pregnant yet. haha! I'm finally starting to "show" a little. But most people would probably just think I was fat.So far I can't really complain, I was only really sick for weeks 6-8 and then after that I felt pretty good. I only threw up 4 times and it wasn't that bad. Scott and I were able to hear the heartbeat at my 13 week appointment and it was amazing :) and then I got to hear it again at my 17 week appointment. Being able to hear/see my little one is so incredible! I had my first ultrasound at 6 weeks when the baby was only a blob and didn't look like anything but we did get to see the heartbeat on the screen and that was good enough for me. We get to find out the gender next week on the 29th! but we aren't telling family or friends till our gender party on June 3rd. I really don't care what I have, I would be truly happy with either. I'm so excited for Scott to be able to see our baby for the first time. I think it will help him and I feel as though it is real!! I seriously can't wait. I felt the baby move for the first time when I was 18 weeks and it was the strangest feeling ever, but also super wonderful at the same time. I only feel him/her every now and then but I'm sure that will change as he/she grows bigger and bigger. This is such an amazing experience and I am so grateful for all that I have been blessed with. I have incredible family and friends that are so supportive and excited for the baby to come. As of now I'm still working full time and will continue to do so as long as I can. I unfortunately do get pretty bad back pain sometimes at the end of a long day, but my baby is worth it and I just suck it up. I'm just truly hoping it doesn't get a ton worse as the weeks go along. Well I have to run to work! Just wanted to write a quick note and post the first picture I have taken so far in this journey. I'll definitely take more and try to keep people updated. We are so happy and we continue to hope and pray that everything will go smoothly. :)

Life is Good

So I kind of left everyone hanging with the last post. So the answer to that one is we Bought a HOUSE back in December and we LOVE it! We actually just finished remodeling some of the inside this week. Also today we had a big housewarming party with both Scott and mines families to celebrate getting a house and to also celebrate that we are HAVING A BABY!!!! We are so thrilled and excited and loved. I wasn't actually going to tell the world for a few weeks but I new everyone would find out eventually through all my family. Our due date is October 9th ish......We all know how babies are....they come when they want. We are praying for the best and hoping everything continues to go smoothly. I have the most Amazing OB/GYN and trust him completely with my care.  I am almost 11 weeks have been lucky enough to see the baby a few times and I love how each time he/she just gets bigger and bigger and watching the heartbeat just makes my heart melt. I can't wait till we can find out if it's a boy or girl! It was so fun to tell all my family today at once. I love seeing the smiles on their faces. This will be the first grandchild on both sides so as you can imagine the parents are really excited. So yeah, we are over the moon with joy. Still also a little in Shock, haha it's all still sinking in. :) So there you go, Scott and Kirsten are going to be parents! CRAZY!!!
