December 22nd is our big day!

Okay, to all those waiting with me to find out the sex of our baby, we go to our ultrasound on December 22nd around 3 pm. But alas, I cannot share the sex of our baby until Christmas Day! Won't that be a great present for all you faithful followers of our baby saga?! Hopefully our little guy/girl will be sitting as improperly as possible so we can get a good look to see what he/she is. Something I'm almost more excited about is that I don't have to fill my bladder to exploding! They can do the ultrasound without a full bladder. :) I love it.

A funny thing happened as we were getting ready for church . . .

Okay, so I completely forgot about this funny housewarming present we received last Sunday. Reed and I were getting ready for church and were just about all ready when we remembered that all of our shoes were out in the garage. Reed remembered this first, and so he was the first to walk out in our freezing garage, barefoot, to go and get some church shoes. Since I didn't want him to think he was waiting for me, I rushed after him to get my shoes too, so we could be ready about the same time. Also barefoot. As I walked out on the cold concrete, I heard the door shut behind me, thinking nothing of it. Until I tried to open it, just to make sure that Reed had unlocked it. Which he hadn't. And then Reed said, "Did you unlock the door?!" To which I responded, "uh oh, I thought you did." We were locked in our garage, on Sunday morning, with no keys to start our cars, and no keys to get back into the house! We were locked out of our house! Our very new house!! Luckily, Reed had packed my bike, and one of his best friends lives down the road. So, he hopped on my bike, no socks, only shoes and no coat! Luckily, I guess this happens to everybody in the neighborhood, so his friends wife knew how to get us back into our house using her old debit card. They were just piling into their car as Reed rode up, and the first thing his friend said was, "You locked yourselves out of the garage, didn't you?!" Oh, thank heaven for people who make the same mistakes we do! I was pretty chilled after that whole experience, but luckily while I was waiting for Reed to ride to his friends house, I found our winter hats, scarves and gloves, and half a bag of carmel corn! :) I was okay! Directly following this incident, I put our extra key in our garage so we couldn't get locked out again, and now I check 2-3 times that the door isn't locked before I ever let it close behind me. Yikes!

Our internet is hooked up, and we're moving high speed!

Woo hoo! I love high speed internet! It certainly makes life much easier. Not much has been going on with us. We're trying to get all moved into our house, and that seems much harder than in the past for some reason. Maybe its my lack of energy that's not helping. I went to my check-up yesterday, and got to hear the baby's heartbeat. It was nice and strong. Next month, we will be answering that long wondered question: what sex is their baby? I don't have a date set for it yet, but I will be calling Monday to set it up. And then I can begin the countdown. :) Well, I need to get back to unpacking, or else my house will continue to resemble a pigsty. Later!

News for November

Only 6 days left now until we sign on our house, unless there are some unforeseen issues. We're super excited! We went and got a nice second-hand fridge, and we still need to find a washer and dryer set, hopefully also second hand. We've been checking craigslist a lot. That is a very helpful website. :) In other news, Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. :) Actually, I am officially 3 months today, and I believe that I will be entering my second trimester next Saturday! Woohoo! 11 weeks seemed to be the magical number in this pregnancy because that was the week I felt back to normal, no sickness, and my energy level seemed to be back to normal as well. I am feeling really good and have already noticed my baby bump to be bumping itself out there. Not much other news, other than the fact that I am really excited for the holidays and have already started my Christmas shopping! I need to help support our slowing economy by sharing what little wealth I have and putting it out there in the stores! I suggest you all do the same. :) Thank you and goodnight!
