It's A.......

HEALTHY baby GIRL!!!!! Macie Grace Richards will be born on or around November 24th! It was such an amazing ultra sound and so neat how you can see every detail from the spine, to the brain, the four chambers of her heart, bones, toes.....so cute! We are so thrilled!!! Allie's mom was in the ultra sound with us and then we surprised Jeremy's parents at dinner. Everyone is estatic! Her middle name is Grace because all we have been through already for this little one... it is truly by the Grace of God we have this little blessing! 

Good bye Honda, Hello Jeep!

Well, we had to part with our Honda Civic Coupe in order to accommodate for our growing family. We have wanted a bigger car for some time especially with the dogs! We decided to look at some Dodges and Jeeps. Well, I think we found our match! We ended up getting a used Silver Jeep Commander. We are thrilled, but nervous about gas since Allie's Honda was so great. Hopefully it will all work out. We really needed this car before the baby came to be able to fit the stroller, car seat, etc. SAFELY.....that's our biggest priority- a car that is safe! 

P.S. One week exactly and counting until our big ultra sound- soooo excited!

Accomplished!

This week was busy! We turned the office into a guest room/office to make room for the baby! We now have the nursery empty and are ready to start working on that. Maybe while we are waiting this long two weeks for the big boy or girl ultra sound we can get the hutch and crib put together! Then we will know what our precious little one is and can start the painting and decorating. So exciting! The second trimester has brought so much more energy to get things done! :)

Doctor's Appointment

Today was my 16 week doctor's appointment, well I was really 15 weeks since they had to cancel and bump me up :) The doctor found our little baby's heartbeat right way and it was beating away! I found out that your immune system goes down when you are pregnant and have been fighting some sicknesses over the past week or so. Glad to know the baby is not sick, just me! So our big day is Wednesday, June 24th at 1:30! We will hopefully find out if the baby is a boy or girl if he or she will cooperate ;)  Stay tuned until then!
