a baby present

Our Nanny (D.'s grandmother) made this sweet sweater set for her first great-grandchild. It really is beautiful... a lot prettier in person than in this picture. It will look great on our little boy.

22 weeks

Here I am at 22 weeks... sorry I missed last week. It was the first week of classes and very BUSY! Last week we found out that it's definitely a HE! I started to feel him moving for the first time last week, and D. felt him on Saturday. It's a really amazing thing to feel him move around and kick inside of me.

working at the wesley house

We spent so much time at the Wesley house on Saturday. We had a yard sale in the morning, but it was a blessing because we earned about $1200. Then, some of the board members came over in the afternoon and brought their big tools. They took out a lot of extra growth, and the Wesley house looks great! Here are a few shots.

20 weeks

Sorry this is a little late, but here I am at 20 weeks!

19 weeks

Here I am at 19 weeks... I told D. we have to start taking these pictures in the morning when I am not so tired!

Welcome to our new house!

This is what you see as you come in our front door, and here are our new curtains from IKEA.

Family Room

Here are a few pictures of our family room. It really is a nice space. We had a party with twelve college students in here already! Everybody fits with room for lots more.

smaller table

This is our small table with our fun red chairs from IKEA. The window was my birthday present from D. this year. I love it!

the kitchen

This is our kitchen... it is so big--you're only seeing half of it in this picture! It's nice to have so much space. Lots of people can help cook. :)

Living and Dining rooms

This big room is the living and dining room. I'm going to make curtains for it soon... if only I could sew as well as my mom!

guest bedroom

Wouldn't you like to come and stay with us?

18 weeks

Here I am at 18 weeks... I'm a little late posting this week because we've been hanging curtains and decorating with all of the items from our trip to Ikea. I'll post pictures of the house again later this week.

Two more weeks and I'll be halfway there! I feel like I get bigger every day. I look a little tired in the picture this week.
