Fresh coat of paint


We finally painted the house. We went with a grayish/tan color and a charcoal trim. My favorite part about the whole thing is the red door. I like red doors. I don't know why but I think it has to do with fall. Its my favorite time of year when all the leaves turn orange and red and gold. Now I will think of fall everytime I come home. My neighbor said red doors are said to bring good luck and harmony to the household. Who knew?

Last ultrasound picture



Now we've arrived at 19 weeks or the baby as the size of a zucchini.

Produce Babies!!!




I think its funny that the pregnancy websites like to compare the growth of the baby to different types of fruit and veggies as the baby grows. Its made it easier to show the girls the size of the baby and given them something concrete to picture the baby in my tummy. Heres the baby at 11 weeks...or the size of a fig.


14 weeks= lemon

16 weeks= avocado

17 weeks=onion

18 weeks= sweet potato







This picture is for my good friend Jolene in PA who is also pregnant. Since we can't compare bellies up close, she asked me to send a picture of my ever expanding tummy. I am now 19 weeks. Things are going well. We had our ultrasound yesterday and crammed the whole caln in the tiny ultrasound room (Joel, the girls, my mom, and Joels mom and dad). The baby looked like he/she was sucking its thumb and crossing its legs at the ankles repetitively, which can only mean another girl right????? :-)
We stuck to our guns and didn't find out the sex of the baby but go ahead and take your guess.......you have a 50/50 chance of being right!
