I don't have a lot of pictures to post. I have my 24 week picture I posted on Facebook, and that's it. So here it is:
Whew, I'm getting quite the belly.
So we got our house 2 1/2 weeks ago, and that's why I haven't had time. Between life and moving, that's about it. We have everything critical in the house. We are starting to try to get all the little things out of the old house so we can put it for sale ASAP as possible (who got that reference???) I had Daniel take lots of pictures of before, and as soon as we get them on a computer, I'll post those. This house is still a work in progress, and it sure will be until we get the other house sold. There are a lot of things we want/need to do.
One big project is the kitchen. This one was pretty small, and there was no dishwasher. Just today, Daniel moved some cabinets and put in the dishwasher. It gave us more room. Once we can afford the countertop and some new floor, we will have more counter space and everything. Our long term goal is to make it super fancy with an island and expanding into most of the room, but that won't be a possibility until we add another room onto the house, which is many years down the road.
The dogs seem to be adjusting to the new house. Maggie loves the extra room to run outside. Cooper is doing very very well with his invisible fence. He can run in the front and back yard. When we take his collar off of him and try to get him to come into the rest of the yard, he won't go past his normal border. That's a good thing! We need a rug or something in our bedroom, cause Maggie is having a hard time jumping onto the bed. Poor old doggie. She does love all the weird hiding places in the house though.
Let's see, I went to the doctor Thursday. Everything is pretty boring at this point. Her heartbeat was 157. The doctor measured my belly for the first time and said it's measuring right at 25 weeks. Everything has been remarkably boring and right on schedule (knock on wood).
We are getting a few things here and there for the baby's room. Right now the big thing we need is a crib. We registered at Target and found some super cute girlie safari stuff, making the gender neutral safari theme work for the little girl! Then, if we have more kids and have a boy, we can just replace the pink stuff with blue stuff. I went online to Target and found a lot more stuff that goes with it, like a lamp, a clothes bin, and a rug. I really like that stuff!!!! Oh, and we're going to cloth diaper (scary!) and that can be pretty expensive. I've been trying to win free stuff on Facebook a lot lately, so if you've seen me liking all kinds of crazy pages, that's why. I registered for a lot of cloth diaper stuff on amazon.com registry. I really hope people that decide to buy us stuff are willing to go online and get stuff that way, cause that's the stuff we really need.
Don't ask us what our baby's name will be! We can't figure it out, and we plan on telling no one once we do. It will be the only surprise once she's born. Daniel and I have found one first name we both like. We can't even agree on a middle name to go with it. I so bad want to have at least 2 or 3 names that we like and decide when she's born what her name will be. It's so hard with all of the names that Daniel shoots down so fast. I'm sure she will eventually have a name, even if she's 2 years old. It took us a week or more to agree on a name for Cooper.
So this was a lot of writing. I hope I told everything important. I plan to blog some pictures of the house soon. I'm going to go eat one of my wonderful White Chocolate with Raspberry Filling and Cream Cheese Icing cupcakes that I got from Party Mart for my birthday!
