Happy Birthday Emily!!

Mom posted this picture on her blog, so I had to steal it :) I don't know how old Em & I were here, but I love the picture. She's my cousin and my longest and closest friend.

Happy 23rd Birthday, old woman. Only 7 more years until you're 30. ;) I love you!!!!

(And I doubt you'll even see this! LOL!)

Little helper

Jessi loves to go outside whenever possible. Her latest "project" is helping Wade in the garden. Every morning when we leave she points it out to me and tells me that she helps Daddy there.

Chilling out after a hard day's work

You can see the square where we originally had our garden planned (Since last fall!)... we decided we should call the "ND one call" to have them come out and mark where power & gas lines are in our yard before we went and dug it up. Well, a line goes through, right about where Wade now has those landscaping markers. So now he's working on moving the garden over and re-planting grass on the other part.

Baby!!

After a very nasty scare starting Sunday, we were finally able to get in yesterday for an ultrasound to make sure everything was fine. The waiting was horrible.
When the U/S tech took us back she asked us if we were just there for a regular u/s and I said yes.. I didn't want to tell her that we were in because of complications because I didn't want her to think she had to go through the Dr. first and not hear anything right away. I wanted to know now!

Well, as soon as she started we could see the little peanut and she said "Oh wow, look at it move! It's very active!" We were SO relieved! Baby was sitting there wiggling away! Heartbeat was 170 She said it's usually that high right now because baby's doing so much growing right now. Baby was measuring right at 9 weeks and I'm 9 weeks today so it's right on. You could see the little arms and legs that are growing. It's amazing what 3 weeks can do.. we had a 6 week u/s with Jessi and she just looked like a little bean then :)

I do have a cyst on my ovary, so that was causing one of the pains I was feeling. I suspected that because I've had a cyst before so I recognized that pain. The other pain, not so much.

I just got off the phone with the nurse and she said it seems like I had a "threatened miscarrage" but that everything looks just fine now.

(Jon & Sara are good friends of our, she watches Jessi 3 days a week for us and Jessi LOVES it!)
Thanks for the pics, Sara.. they made my day :)

Where's Jessi?

The other day I heard some giggling coming from the kitchen so I thought I'd better go check it out. She had removed the trash can from under the sink because she thought it would be a great place to hide.

It's getting nicer...

It's starting to get nicer out! Yesterday it was close to 80! Then went down to 60 and kept going down by the time we got home :( It's cold today and is supposed to be no higher than low 50's and rainy for the next week. :( We enjoyed a nice evening on Tuesday and played outside for awhile.

And our first flower coming up!

We can't wait until it's nice enough to spend the whole evening outside to grill and have fun with friends :)
