Our Baby at 8 weeks

Well it is hard to tell what you are looking at, but the head is at the bottom and the dark spot is the developing brain. This is an ultrasound at eight weeks one day. We also head the heartbeat at this doctor visit and the heartbeat was 169 beats per minute. This is fast, but they say at that stage that all heartbeats are fast. We are already trying to figure out if it is a girl or boy. There was a rumor that girls heartbeat is faster than boys, and I know some people this turned out to be true for, and others that it did not. We will see! Maybe at the twelve week appointment on September 1st!

Electrical Panel In Sewing/Laundry Room

We we are approximatley six months into the remodel, and hopefully back in the hose within another couple months. Sheetrock, last electrical, beams in the kitchen, flooring, tile, trim, cabinets, counter tops, lighting, painting inside and out, asphalt driveway, and stone work has to be done...and we are getting to the end of the budget. We may have to wait on stone work and asphalt to the new carport. We added a lot of things we were not going to add as we were remodelin such as going ahead and finishing the upstairs, the side porch, and the garage part. We had talked about waiting on all of those parts, but I am so glad now that we did not.

We are Pregnant!

We found out the day before our three year anniversary that we are pregnant! I took a home test, but then we went to the doctor to confirm it. We started telling everyone that day. We told my parents and J.D. and Stephanie at Mom and Dad's house, and the next day we told Bryon's family. We first drove to see Mrs. Twilla and tell her, then to Mr. Ronnie's store to tell him, and then we went to Brandon and Taylor's house. We waited at Brandon and Taylor's for a long time for Brandon to get home from work, but then it kinda came out right before he got there. We were all trying to keep a straight face when he walked in, but it came out kinda quick. We have our next doctor's appointment on the 22nd. I am going to be going to Women's Care in Lexington, next to Lexington Medical. We are only just beginning this journey! It is going to be a fun one :0) What a blessing God has given us! I am already starting to feel kinda nautious and bloated....I don't know if that part will be fun or not...:0)
