It's a girl!!!

We had out ultrasound this morning....and it's a GIRL!!!! Everything looks healthy from her 10 little fingers to her 10 little toes! There were about 8 pictures we got to take home with us :~) She weighs about 11.5 oz right now and measures about 2 days further along than what my due date says...so either the 8th or the 10th :~) Not much difference! Wow, it really makes everything feel even more real than before! Super excited! I'll get a pic posted tonight or tomorrow morning.

We have been busy continuing to work on the basement. We finished all the sheet rocking yesterday and are hoping my brother-in-law is going to tape and mud this week sometime (or at least get started). It looks sooooooo much better. I can't wait to see how it's going to look after it's finished :~) We are learning as we go. Mike thinks by the time we are finished with all our house projects he'll be ready to build a house and everything will be perfect for he and Abby!

I also had Abby's baby shower this weekend (Aaron's little sis). It was fun to catch up with the Miller side of the family as well as watch Abby open her fun gifts. Everyone was like "Is this making you even more excited??!!" And yes it was :~)

Aaron left early this afternoon on his guys trip to New York. He is spending the best of the day in Mankato, then they are all heading to the Cities to stay tonight, then fly out in the morning. I sent the camera so I'm sure there will be some interesting photos to see when they get back! He's planning to get back later Friday evening. So if anyone is going to watch the Twins vs Yankee's Tuesday night...look for Aaron!

Well, stay tooned. I'm planning to post an ultrasound pic tonight or tomorrow!

4th of July Festivities!

Sorry it's been a couple of weeks since the last blog...Need to find more time to keep in touch!

The last couple weeks have been busy still. I was in another golf tourny with Aaron's brother Adam and our friends Billy and Mike. Aaron wanted to golf between work and helping with a benefit for a friend he works with, he thought he should help with those instead. It rained all day and we were all soaken wet, but we had a great time!!! My face hurt from laughing and smiling the whole time!

We have continued to work on our basement, not without a little play first :~) July 3rd we ate out with our friends Tracy and Matt then off to the Currie Street dance. Another late night for this one....we decided that hopefully that was the last 2 am I would have to see for a long time! We had a great time though. I was able to catch up with my girlfriend Erin that I haven't seen for nearly a year already!! On the 4th we went back to Currie to watch some friends in the volleyball tourny then out to Mom and Dad's for the rest of the day until after fireworks. We boated and swam with the kids. My niece and nephew, Bailey and Breylan water-skiied (Brey gave it a good shot but just couldn't get it done). This is Bai's 2nd year of skiing...she is improving! It was fun to sit around and chat with the family and watch fireworks after dark.

Saturday and Sunday were spent working more on the basement. Aaron and Mike (Aaron's sister Abby's boyfriend) worked on studding and setting up the electrical work. There has been a huge improvement! I'm excited to see everything when it's done!

That's it for now. Hope everyone had a great weekend of the 4th! Chow for now :~)

Another week gone!

Another week has sped by already! Monday was our 16 week check up. We were able to listen to the heart beat again! It is so amazing! It was much more pronounced this time and louder...not to be confused with mine :~) As far as we know, there is only one in there to the relief of Aaron! The appointment went great and we really like our doctor...she is short and sweet and gets right to the point (that or it was because we were the last appointment of the day) . We were able to set up our ultrasound date for July 21st, the morning Aaron leaves on his trip to New York. Hopefully the babe is sitting just right so we can stop calling it 'it'! That and Aaron is convinced he and the guys will have it named by the time they return from their trip. I can about imagine what they will come up with!!!

This last weekend was a busy one. Both Aaron and I were able to take Friday off and work at home. I think I could get used to those 3 day weekends!!! We got so much done, including tearing the basement apart to start getting it ready for the office and extra family room. Saturday I was in a golf tourny with my cousin....it was more fun that competative (atleast for me!!) I'm slowly learning that there are somethings in life that I used to do better with a few malt beverages in me rather than the ever so currently popular h2o!!! Aaorn had to work that morning so that evening we had a very belated housewarming/birthday/she's finally not pregnant!!! party to attend. Roasted porkloins and played in a bean bag tourny....Our friend Mike and I did really well...Aaron's team not so well :~) Then ended with a huge bonfire!! I forgot what those were like...I think i missed them. Aaron got to catch up with some friends he hadn't seen for quite some time and talk more baby stuff with the other's that have them already or are expecting too!

Looks like this week will be another busy one too. I'll try to post early next week again! Chow for now!

Our First Blog!

Since it's so fun to read everyone else pages, I thought it was time to start our own!

Life never seems to slow down! Just when you think you'll get a breather...something else comes up :~) So, I am 15 weeks pregnant already! Wow, time just goes by! We are really excited and looking forward to the little bundle December 10th. Aaron's trying to make it to most appointments, but with his busy schedule, we might have to pick and choose the best ones.

Aaron is busy working both at home and for the elevator. He's sorting more pigs this week to be loaded Friday again. Between both places, not much time to spare! However, we are both managing to take Friday off together to start yet another project on the house: This week: The basement; Next month: My bathroom; Next winter: Aaron's bathroom; Next year: The world!! (Atleast it feels that way!) We recently finished our landscaping project around the house and are very happy with it :~)

I'm busy working in the WorkForce Center for the SW MN Private Industry Council. I really enjoy my job and the people I work with! It's hard to find that job you look forward to going to every day, but I think I found it! I'm also working very part-time for HSI doing direct care for individuals with disabilities yet. HSI is the company I worked for as their Team Lead when I first moved back to the home area. Selling my Partylite candles has slowed some but am hoping to get back in and have a few shows to get going again! Like I said earlier, time just flies by so fast! (Our house always smells good though...strawberry-rhubarb...my fave :~)

Well, hope everyone had time to do a mini-catch up. Look forward to hearing from everyone!
