A Growing Family

Well, this is a non-pregnancy related post, but I wanted to share a recent "house" project with all of you. Over Labor Day weekend, Tim's family came to help with the nursery. While they were here, I had Tim's mom Delaine help with some other decorative projects (she is so good with decorating!) I have been working for quite some time on a family tree project. I originally wanted to actually have a tree on the wall with pictures hanging from it, but realistically it wasn't happening. I have been gathering a variety of black frames as well as black and white pictures of our family from us to our parents to our grandparents when they were younger. Now all I needed was to get them hung in a cool way. So, I enlisted Delaine and Nikki to help find a cool sign and figure out the best way for the pictures to hang on the wall. During our day of shopping, we found the most awesome sign and were able to get all the pictures on the wall. I felt like it was perfect timing to have all of our family prominently displayed as we begin our own family. Here is a picture of the finished product. I have to say, it was one of my most favorite spots in the house.

Pictures of our Little One

We recently had our "big" ultrasound followed by an appointment with the doctor. The ultrasound was amazing! This was our fourth ultrasound, but by far the best! The other ultrasounds were done fairly quickly and were mainly to check the heartbeat. With this one, the tech took so much time showing us everything and we got some really awesome pictures! We couldn't believe how much you could actually see in the ultrasound. It truely was amazing! The week after the ultrasound, we had a monthly check-up with the doctor. Everything looks great and she gave me a clean bill of health. Overall, it was a great couple of weeks! Here are some pictures of our little one.
