I bought paint!

I know - the small things in life are exciting. We can't start painting the nursery yet, but I bought the paint! (I had to feel like I'm doing SOMETHING!) We also bought our stroller this weekend, but I'm not taking it out of the box until some of the garage sale clutter is gone. We're having a garage sale on June 16 if anyone wants to come buy our stuff!





The ultrasound on Thursday went really well. The technician was so much nicer this time and I was so much more comfortable. I have pictures, but I don't know if I'll get around to scanning them in. Our boy once again proved that he is a boy - no modesty here! Anyways, all looked good and we got a couple of nice face side shots too. He was playing with his eyebrows.





I have to show you this too. A friend of mine who has also struggled with infertility made this for me. (She's due in June). In case it's hard to read, it says "God hears our prayers".



Last night we got to meet our new little neighbor - Patrick and Melanie had their baby on Saturday morning and last night we popped over to meet little Nathan. What a cutie! I'm so excited that there are going to be a bunch of boys the same age on this block!

Tomorrow we meet our midwife. I'm really looking forward to switching over to a midwife's care. As much as I've liked our doctor up to this point, I know that we'll be getting a new doctor anyways in another few weeks, and I'm just so tired of the whole medical system. Why treat pregnancy like it's a disease that has to be treated and managed? Shouldn't this be a natural process?

This is why

You don't camp or plant your garden on or before the long weekend. I woke up to Byron saying, "Wow - look at that snow." Seriously - isn't it almost the end of May? Not that it's really a long weekend for either of us. Byron works today and so I figure I might as well get some stuff done too. I'll take a day off later this week when Byron has one too. Maybe Thursday when I have to go for another ultrasound.

And a few family pics - because they turned out really nice!

Last week Byron's family came to visit and we made them all have family pictures taken. Except Andrea and Calvin . . . . we're still waiting for those! Anyways, here are the ones we took:





We also went to the zoo. This is the newest giraffe: "baby" Richard.

OK - so we've been back for two weeks now and I still haven't gotten the pictures up. Here you go:
