Boy or Girl on the way

O'kay, so the yard sale last weekend went all right. We didn't sell as much as we would have liked but we're going to try again next month when they have the post-wide yard sale.

We are excited about Friday though - we have a 3D/4D ultrasound scheduled to try to find out if we will be having a little boy or a little girl! I can't wait to find out!!! Also on Friday, I have an appointment with my dr. to see if he received the reports from my c-section with Hunter. I would like to have a natural birth this time around but he says it all depends on what kind of c-section I had.

We are also busy trying to clean off our front porch - all the yard sale stuff is still out there and with all the storms heading our way, we need to get it all boxed up and put it down in the basement. We are going to start preparations just in case. We need to go to the commissary to buy some canned food and bottled water, other odds n' ends because we hear this could be a pretty bad storm even if it slows down before it gets here. We're a little worried about Steven's parents, they are in Daytona Beach and are scheduled to be hit big time today or tommorow. We called them last night and everything was fine at that point. We may try to call them tonight to make sure it's still going o'kay.

I'll update again after Friday! Keeping our fingers crossed that the baby cooperates and shows us the "good stuff"! ;)

The beginning of our new blog

Hey everyone! I decided to start this new blog so people (meaning family and friends) could keep up with what's happening with us down here in Georgia without having to go on myspace. I'll try to keep up with it and I'll even try to talk Steven into writing an entry every now and then.

So, this has been a busy week. Tomorrow I will be 14 weeks pregnant and most of the early pregnancy symptoms have started to slowly go away. Less nausea, a little more energy and (hopefully for Steve's sake) a little less moody. :) I felt the baby kick for the first time on Tuesday and it was so exciting! Steve isn't able to feel the baby move yet but every time I tell him the baby is moving, he tries anyways.

Hunter is doing great! He's starting to talk a lot more and can say about 60-70 words, most of which only Steve and I can understand. "uice peas" means juice please for example. It's a lot of fun to hear him expressing his wants and needs though. He is going through a rough phase and likes to scream as loud as he can just because he is able to but we do have so much fun with him.

Our big thing this weekend is that we have been preparing for a yard sale all week long and it starts the day after tomorrow. I have sooooo much left to do! It's almost overwhelming at times!

Steve has been in classes all week long. He's taking military classes about guns or something...he seems to be enjoying it and he comes home and studies every night! He was studying for about two hours last night and actually fell asleep reading the manual.

That's about all that's going on for now, we'll keep you all updated!
