Peanut (the baby this week)

This week (starting with this past monday) is a turnip! lol just thought I would share. Ok so maybe not an actual turnip but the size of one.

Baby Update

Monday I went to the doctor where we get to hear the heartbeat again. It is so nice to get to hear that. It was around 150 beats. Our ultrasound is set for December 29th 2009. I can't wait. That will be the fun appointment. We can't wait to find out if peanut (that is what Mason and I call the baby) is a boy or girl. They tell me I have to drink 32 oz of water starting an hour and a half before the ultrasound. BUT I'm not allowed to go to the bathroom until after. How do they expect a pregnant lady to not go to the bathroom? I have to go all the time and I only drink about a 20 oz throughout the school day. lol

Baby!

For those of you who do not know.. Mason & I are expecting our first child May 18, 2010. We are very excited! Yesterday we got to hear the heartbeat. It is the most amazing feeling to be laying there and hear a heartbeat of another living thing that is living inside of you. We can't wait to find out if it is a boy or girl. So far I have been very nauseous. I have actually been getting sick more lately which isn't much fun. I'm sure in the end it will all be worth it. :) I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything but I will try to stay ontop of it now so that way the world can stay up to date on baby post :)

Today is also Mason's birthday! Look for a post soon about the birthday celebrations!

Dining Room is finally finished

OUR DINING ROOM IS FINISHED! I'm so excited. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Tell me what you think.

Here is the before picture:


Dad is the one who really got us going on the room. One day he came over and the next thing I knew wall paper was coming off the walls :





Here is the final product before things get put back into the room.




And now... The finished product!!!

Frustrated

I am quite frustrated. My computer decided to completely crash last night. I am at the Ball State Library right now because I had to take my computer to the icare corner to see if there is anything they can do. They are currently wiping everything off my computer and reinstalling the operating system. Hopefully this takes care of the problem. Bad things is two days ago I took pictures of my entire house to post on here of before and after pictures so I could update everyone and they are on my computer and I'm not sure they got backed up on my external hard drive before all this started. Good thing is... those pictures can be taken again... it isn't like they were wedding pictures or something. Ugh. I hope that it isn't a hardware problem where I will need to send it back to apple. ugh. :) I guess things could be worse.

Before & After - Bathroom (master bedroom)

Here is a picture of what our bathroom (the one off of our bedroom) looked like when we first moved in our house. One thing you can't see is the ugly flooring. it had mauve colored roses. Ugh.

This is Brooke working on our new flooring. YAY. Looks a million times better!

Here is the finished product. What do you think?

Water fun

The other day Mason as picking things in the garden and I decided I need to water it. In the process I accidentally sprayed Mason with the hose on the leg and then things got crazy. We decided to play in the sprinkler like kids. It was so much fun! Here are some pictures....

I just found out that I can update my blog via text.... wow this technology driven world is crazy!

This Past Weekend

Brooke came down this weekend and we put carpet in the sunroom. It looks so much better in there we still need to put a boarder up so that way it will cover the ugly glue spots left by the people who lived there before. It is so much nicer in there. She also helped up make the trees in the front yard beautiful. We got some stone things and put around them and put down mulch. They look 100% better.



Then on Sunday I was very productive. I painted the closet and then hung up pegboard in the garage, hung a shelf in the laundry room, and went to the old house to clean it up so we can be free of that house. Mason and I hung shelves in the office so we have a place for all our books. It looks really good. Now the office isn't stuffed with boxes. :) Hurray for getting things done.

The Weekend

The weekend started off with Mason and me having Friday off. We spent a lot of the day relaxing and just enjoying the day. In the morning I had an interview with JCPenney and got hired on the same day! Very exciting I think. Not the best job in the world, but with these economic times I will take what I can get until I get a teaching job. On Saturday we got up really early to get the outside of our house to look nice. We went to Lowes to pick up a lot of supplies, including our new lawnmower, hedge trimmer and much more! Then we went to Rural King to pick up fruit trees to put in our backyard. We are going to have green apple, peach and red apple trees. We also got blueberry and raspberry bushes to add to our garden. Later in the afternoon we went over to my parent's house to have Easter dinner with them, Aaron, Amy and the kids. Today, we went to church with dad and went to Grandma and Grandpa Conner's house to have an Easter meal with them. The rest of the day today Mason spent getting lesson plans around and I got a few things done around the house. Still things to get done around the house but we figure that might take a little longer than expected to accomplish. Happy Easter!
