Happenings.

First

We bought a new computer. As a result I 1.) feel kinda dumb.. or old.. 2.) have no idea how to upload pictures 3.) my laptop just bit the dust so until I figure things out there will be no photos around here.

I have not really been feeling the sweet baby girl move which I thought was a bit concerning. My midwife has just informed me, however, that I have an anterior and low lying placenta. As a result I cannot feel her kicks as well and I have to have another ultrasound at 28 weeks to check the location of the placenta. The placenta is low lying in about 10% of pregnancy's during the second trimester and they usually move to the top of the uterus where the richest blood supply is. IF mine does not move it is called placenta previa or partial previa and we have talk c-section... but let's not until after 28 weeks okay? Deal. Gives me the ebee jeebies.

Moses has been loving, LOVING, these plastic balls that Kelli bought him for his birthday. He rolls them all over the house, sometimes for 30 minutes at a time. THANK YOU!

The house

We are finally settling into the house and a bit of a routine. I was feeling mildly overwhelmed at all of the housework, but I have divided it up by day and that has been working wonderfully. There is talk of hiring someone to help once we get closer to the birth of Baby Girl and after she arrives, but we shall see about that.

Also! Jeremiah has almost finished our dining room table, it is beautiful and I can't wait to show you all!!

Be blessed!

Mo's birthday party!

My little man turns one!!

Ahh! Where has the time gone? Sweet little Moses turned one this weekend! We headed up to Albuquerque to have a small celebration with family and a good time was had by all. The little boy now has more clothes and toys than he knows what to do with and has spent all afternoon playing (thank you!!).

Here is a picture of the birthday boy, but for those who would like to see everything (Keek?) I will be putting up a slide show shortly!!

A baby girl and a big move!

We found out yesterday that we are having a baby girl! We are thrilled! I will try to get some pictures up in the next couple days of her sweet profile!

We finally did it! We moved! I have been waiting to upload pictures, hoping that I could dig my way out of the mess. Who am I kidding? I will be working on that for the next few months! Hopefully some of the nesting urges will help out with that! Until the, there are some photos from this past weekend!

Our living room! Ba ha ha! It basically still looks like this :)

Our dining room. The blue piece of furniture under the window was my dad's. I am going to repaint it and find some new handles for it. I love having it!

Also, Jeremiah is making us our dining room table! I can't wait to see the end product!

Our kitchen!

Here are the shelves Jeremiah built for our living room area.

That's it for now!

The wanderer's.

Now that we are moving into our new home.. with a small kiddo... and another on the way... this move feels much more permanent than others we have gone through. We have traveled here and there, never really bought furniture and never really had a place of our own. This is a big, big move for the Hayes family! I can't help but look back at everywhere we have been and feel so, so blessed by all the friends we have made along the way! Here are some photos of our journey in no particular order!

We lived in Socorro for a bit. While I adore each and every person in the photo I do not care to live there ever again :)

My mil and her sister's and nieces came to Oahu for a visit!!

Sweet Molokai.

Maui day trip! You can do fun things like this when you LIVE IN HAWAII!!

DC to visit Jeremiah's brother and wife!

We climbed down this to get to the leper colony. Yes. There is a leper colony in the United States.

Kayaking out to the "Mok's".. it was hard!

Going to the park with Baxter! Part of our daily routine!

Boys will be boys! We loved living in Kalae!!

Hands down the best part about living on Oahu was the hiking! Phenomenal!

Ahh! Wonderful Molokai!

Sweet Moses...

Us crazy kids hiking out to see the lava.. in the dark.. after a drink (or two).. in a storm...

I ADORE the Big Island!

Getting ready to run my first marathon on the island of Maui!

The view from our condo in Kaneohe!

We are so blessed, and our journey is just beginning!

Our Home!!

After working through some problems with our HVAC unit, we now have heat! Our sidewalks are being poured in the morning, we close with the bank in the afternoon and we move in on Saturday! Waa hoo!

Here are some pictures of the process!
