My BIG Little Life

Some may find my blog boring and somewhat mundane because it is simply a documentation of the 'happenings' in my life, which is why I call it "My Big Little Life." It's a huge and happy life to me, but my family is what makes it huge and happy. I love that friends and family read my blog, but it's certainly not an expectation. If you do read it I hope you can get a sense of how I live and what makes me happy.

Updates on House and Baby

The summer is halfway through (Oh no! a bit more than halfway through!) and I'm enjoying being busy and being pregnant. Everyday I'm doing something regarding our new house... whether it's picking out fabric, taking furniture to get reupholstered, picking out mirrors and shower glass, picking out paint color or meeting with painters. It's always something new. The work in progress is coming to a hault, thank goodness. Today the floors were buffed and polished and they need 24 hours before anyone can walk on them. Tomorrow our master closet is being installed and our washer, dryer, and refrigerator are being delivered. Over the weekend the house should be cleaned allowing us to move in by mid week. Kyle is going to Vegas over the weekend for Harlan's bachelor party so it's possible I can get a head start and bring some things over-- maybe even organize my kitchen. I'm having fun with it all!
On August 12 I have a 4-D ultrasound so we can see Colston's cute little face. 4d ultrasounds are amazing! They allow you to see details of the face and body... I wonder who he will most favor? Erin and Josh are coming along. They allow up to 10 guests to be present and we will view it on a large screen.
** Side Note: Ultrasounds are not invasive or dangerous... just wanted to put that out there in case anyone is wondering.

Halfway Through!!

I am 20 weeks and 4 days today! We are halfway there! I had my monthly check up today and my doctor reviewed the ultrasound measurements with me. He said everything looks normal and the proportions of each one of Colston's body parts are right on par.
He is moving around a ton and seems to be the most active around 5:30-6:00 p.m. It is fun to watch the little kicks on my belly. Kyle likes feeling them too!
We went to Hilton Head Island with Rula, Haskell, Erin, and Josh for the 4th of July. We had a wonderful time and it was fun to show off my growing belly on the beach. Kyle and I are going for a week long BABY-Moon the first week of August. We're going to Emerald Isle to enjoy a nice long week (pre baby) together... some friends may drop in and out. We're excited!
Before that time comes, we are hoping to move into our new home. Hopefully in the next two weeks we will be in! Right now we are working to obtain the CO (certificate of occupancy) and once we get that we will finish up last minute details, (like polish floors and paint walls.) We're very happy that there is light at the end of this foreclosure tunnel. :-)
