Wow, Its been awhile since I've posted. I guess I was waiting until I had some pictures to go along with it.

Last weekend we went camping with 2 of our friends. It was a beautiful weekend! Perfect weather, and chilly enough to be comfortable around the fire, had delicious food. I loved it. Pictures to come!


Today I go to the Dr. for my 20 wk ultrasound. I'm excited about going, I love when I get to see her! I guess the Dr. will be looking at her spine and liver and brain, lots of other things, I'm not sure what all exactly.
Her little kicks and rolls are becoming much stronger, Dwayne finally was able to feel it last week. While we were camping I was sitting in my chair and had just gotten done eating dinner, and she starting moving around. She must have rolled because just under my belly button I felt the weirdest feeling, it was like a sliding, rolling ball. It was really neat. The other night Dwayne was poking and pushing at my stomach trying to get her to kick at his hand, but she wasn't doing it, so I said "Baby, kick daddy's hand", and she did!! It was so cool, coincidence or not. :)


Yesterday Ony and I went to Target to finish my Baby registry. I love doing things like that. Only it makes me really antsy to get started on the room and everything. I want to repaint it, and we don't have a crib or any of those things yet. We are remodeling an addition room, and Dwayne wants to wait until we are done with that to start on the Baby's room. Arg. Its gonna take forever!
For the changing table I am going to refinish an old dresser we have. I want to sand off all of the old paint, and possibly paint it white, maybe antique it a little. For the top of the dresser I'd like to try and get all of the paint off and varnish it. Anyway, that will serve as a changing table and dresser for her. Save us some $ right there. Maybe I can start on that, that way I feel like I'm at least doing something.


I already think about what its going to be like when she's here. I'm really excited to have those few weeks of no work, and just to be at home with the baby all day. I can't wait! I'm so tired of cleaning houses I want to scream. (ok, not quite, but I am sick of it)


I need to go and get myself ready for work. Have a great week all!

It's FALL

From my title you can guess that it finally feels like fall outside!! I'm pretty excited to see the splash of color its going to bring:)


So Monday we went to the Dr and found out we are having a baby GIRL!!!  We are so so excited! Dr said she is looking good. We didn't really take a whole lot of time to look at her since it was just a 'quick peek' at no charge. I really like my Dr. :) I did see her little tiny bladder though because it was full. Really random. 


This past week was a really good one. Tuesday morning I went to MOPS with my friends Ony and Annie. It was a fun experience. I'm looking forward to going back. 
It was kind of a chilly rainy then sunny kind of week. One day Ony and I went out and picked some orange berries that I saw along side the road. We weren't quite sure if we were supposed to be picking them, so every time a car would come along we hid in the truck:) I love the adventures we get into together! 
The wreaths turned out really well. I'll post some pictures of them then. Friday we went to Spartanburg together and I bought some fall-ish decorations. Oh and some mums and pansies:) I love them! They bring a good pop of color to my porch.


Well suddenly I'm not feeling very chatty..so I will post wreath pictures and some new belly pictures. I REALLY don't feel as big as I look!! :)
