Sadie Grace

Yesterday I finally hit 19 weeks, almost half way there! Today I had my ultrasound and we found out that we are expecting a little girl!! I secretly had a feeling it was a girl but didn't want to get my hopes up :) So many of my good friends and family had guessed it would be a boy, but I guess God had other plans in store for our family. Her name will be Sadie Grace. Sadie has been a name that Daustin and I feel in love with shortly after being married (it means princess) and Grace is for my wonderful best friend who is expecting her second daughter in October! I am so excited that our two little girls will grow to be best friends just like their moms! Because the ultra sound was at 11:00 am today I had to take the whole day off work, so my Mom and I got to spend some much needed girl time shopping for baby clothes (and some clothes for mommy too!) Below are some pictures of our beautiful baby girl, me, and some of the clothes we picked up today!

Finally a Fence

After three month of living in our new home I finally convinced my husband to begin working on fencing in our backyard so our cute puppy can have a place to run and play. After several weeks of hard work , and lots of help from my wonderful daddy, it is almost complete! All that is left is putting the finishing touches on the storage shed and the few feet of fence that connect it to out home. The have done an amazing job and I am so gratefully for the time and energy my wonderful husband has put into this project! I love you babe!

Nursery

While there is so much we don't yet know about our little one, including the sex of the baby, we are beginning the process of getting the room ready! Thanks to my wonderful parents and inlaws we have beautiful new furniture to welcome home baby! My cute Mommy wanted to be the first to buy the baby something so she has purchased a few gender neutral items. She and my dad are going to great at being Nanna and Poppy! I can't wait until we begin decorating the room for the little baby and begin buying clothes for either a boy or girl. It seems like forever until we will get to meet our precious one, but he or she is worth the wait!

17 Weeks

Yesterday I had my third check up appointment at the doctor. It was so amazing to hear the heart beat! It sounded very strong. I can't wait until September 17th when we get to find out the sex of the baby! In the past few weeks my belly has begun to grow and I have begun to feel small movement the baby is making and it is such an amazing experience! As of right now my back is my major complaint. The baby still seems to be sitting on my Sciatic nerve. It doesn't help either that I am back to teacher 8 hours a day :) It is so great though that the morning sickness and extreme tiredness is a thing of the pass. This trimester is turning out to be much better then the first! Keep praying for the health my baby and mommy. Only 23 more weeks to go :)
