Summer!

I love my job!! I'm taking full advantage of summer by taking lots of naps. I know sleep will be but a sweet memory before we know it! We are taking steps to getting our home ready for baby. Lots of cleaning and organizing going on. Jamie installed a ceiling fan/light in the room that will be the nursery. It has a dimmer on the light and I'm sure that will come in handy. He and a couple of guys from work also put a light in our dining room. Good Riddance lamp that didn't work well enough to light the room! It's very nice. The fixture was a gift last summer from our friends Patty and Paul. Thanks guys!! We will also be getting a couple of new windows for the house, they should be installed by this time next month. Yeah!

We will soon be getting the clutter in the garage organized, and will start cleaning this soon to be nursery out. We have to move Haley,the cat, and hopefully that will go smoothly. She's sorta the queen/boss right now, and deals with change by behaving badly.

Other than that, we are anxiously awaiting the next appointment. It seems so far away! I know that time will pass quickly, but I want to see that baby again!

Today my Aunt and Uncle that live in Australia are coming to town. They are bringing my Grandparents and we are all excited to see everyone. Jessica, my tia, is also pregnant-so this will be fun. The boys are cleaning up the yard, the porch, and vacuuming the house while they wait. They LOVE being with family. It'll be good to see my dad and his brother together.

Okay, I've procrastinated enough I suppose :o)

14 Weeks 1 Day-ZzZZZzzz

Today was the LONGEST wait ever at the doc's office, but that's alright-Jamie and I got to visit and laugh a lot. Doc asked if we had any questions, and I just asked about the pertussis vaccine because of the scary commercial they keep playing. He is not concerned, so now I'm not either.
When it came time for the sonogram, we got to see a curled up baby that wouldn't budge. It wasn't the most exciting and baby was not too photogenic. We tried to get him to move around...but it wasn't happening. He moved a leg and his hands,as if saying "stop it" then went right back to sleep. Heartbeat was excellent at 152 bpm. Doc says he's measuring right on target.
We go back in a little over a month, hopefully baby will be active that day.
As for us, we are both doing well. I'm loving the lazy days of summer, especially the times where I can catch up with old friends. Jamie is still working hard at the fields and at his day job too, and before we know it, school will be upon us! Then time will really fly. I just can't believe that by this time next year, we'll have a sweet baby with us! God is good, all the time.
