24 weeks prego!

Here are some belly pics at 24 weeks. Nothing new going on. Shes moving ALOT, which I like, its very reassuring. I still can't complain about anything, so far this pregnancy has still been really easy. I have gained about 15 pounds so far, which according to my doctors and my pregnancy books is right on track, and they tell me I measure right on track. At my last appointment the nurse about gave me a heart attack though. She looked at my chart and asked me if I was aware that they had changed my due date, which I was not...but then I got very confused when she told me they changed it from 1/6 to 1/8 and I was thinking, why would they change it 2 days?? Then she said so...you will be pregnant a little longer than you thought, that makes you 18 weeks. And then I was REALLY confused...18 weeks?! I though I was way further a long than that!! So she then told me that the doctor would speak to me about it. Anyway, the doctor came in and measured me and was like whoa, wait a minute, let me calculate your due date and he let me know that I was really 23 weeks like I thought. SO, anyway the nurse apologized and said maybe it was because it was Monday ha ha...I was just relieved that I did not backtrack a whole month of being pregnant bc I am sure ready to meet her and the pregnancy is going slow enough!!! Also, Kathy (my mother-in-law) got me a recording device from build-a-bear that I took with me to my appointment and the nurse helped me to record the baby's heartbeat on it. Kathy said she is going to make a bear with it, I guess for Elaina but I think I might like it more than her :) So that's it for this month, next time I get my glucose tolerance test and I will post some more pics!!

Yellow House

We finished the next stage of the house update this weekend. And by we of course I mean Silas. It took about a week, we started last weekend and we painted the house a bright cheery yellow, the doors a dark blue, and white around the trim of the windows and roof. I think it tuned out really nice and most of the neighbors have said they like it. Here are the before and after of the exterior of the house. Sorry for the bad lighting, the sun was in a bad postition and these are the only 2 pictures I can find of the house before we painted it. Its also before we got a new roof and cleaned out the pool.
