House update.

I have really been lacking on the house updates, I can hardly believe that something so big could be so low on my radar right now!

Our flooring is going in! Here is the laminate flooring in the living room and dining room area!

Our garage door.. and our trash.

Entry way tile and the guys hanging out.

Kitchen tile!

Mo's blue bedroom!

My yellow bathroom. I am in love with this color.

Things are happening faster than I can update! Right now driving to Aztec with Moses feels impossible most days, but it is always thrilling to walk through and see it coming together!

We are headed out of town on Friday for a week for much needed family get away, when we get back things will really start to happen! We should be moving in by early November!

Another baby update.

I spoke with one of the midwives today and she thinks that we do need to do another ultrasound. On one hand she said that she isn't too concerned but she was very insistent that we do a follow up ultrasound before my appointment on October 12th.

Hope you all are having a happy Wednesday.

Mo's first haircut!

While in Albuquerque last week Moses, Nana and I made a trip to see Auntie Bri for his first haircut!

The before picture. Please excuse the woman with the double chin.

Not loving it, but hanging in there...

...comb over...

Looking good!

Kissing the baby in the mirror!

What a little stud!

Thanks, Auntie Bri!

Baby #2 Update.

I apologize for this photo, I don't have a scanner!!

While in Albuquerque last week (pictures to come!) I went to Carenet for a pregnancy test and ultrasound. I am 8 weeks pregnant and due on May 10th, my mom's birthday! I don't know if you can tell from the fuzzy ultrasound photo, but the baby is the on the top and there is a mass right below him/her. The woman that was doing the ultrasound said she had never seen anything like it. She said it could be that I was carrying twins and one didn't make it, it could be a vascular mass.. but the bottom line is that she doesn't know. I sent the info to my midwife and she said the same thing. As long as there is no bleeding/cramping they are not concerned. I have struggled with how I feel about this, but the bottom line is that could be nothing and I don't want to grieve the potential loss of a child unless I know for sure that is what happened. Right now we are rejoicing in our one healthy little peanut.

And as for the morning sickness.. it is still going strong. I am still taking Unisome and B6, and I have added Zofran. The combo is pretty good, but most days are just miserable. Right now it is 8pm and I am still in my pajama's. I spend the day on the couch or sleeping while Moses sleeps. Honestly, I have a hard time keeping a good attitude since so far it has been just as bad as it was with Mo and that lasted 6 months. 4 more months of this?! Yikes! However, I must say that I am so grateful to have the Ohst's here, Kat who comes and helps with Moses and such a wonderful husband. They have been so helpful and I am very, very grateful!

Update:

A doctor that reviews ultrasounds for Carenet recommended that I see my midwife asap to evaluate what she called "a placental mass". I will let you all know if my midwife suggests that we do anything more.

Your Daily Mo

What to do?

Morning sickness. Bleh. Yuck. I thought I was going to be in the clear this go round. Not so much. After a weekend spent on the couch and each day worse than the one before I have realized that I have to go back on the Unisome and vitamin B6 if I am going to function at all. So far I am only down a few pounds and have been able to keep down some toast and, of all things, macaroni and cheese, so I think I had better get on the medicine as soon as possible.

AND! Would you look at this guy? We have a mobile creature on our hands! He is trying so hard to crawl, but even though he can't yet he is still all over the place! I think I may have to get out the pack and play on the rough days.

Some of my main concerns are things like how am I going to get the groceries? Leave the house? Do things with Moses? We will soon be adding two more people to this house with only ONE bathroom. What will I do, get sick outside if the bathroom is in use? We have our dear friends arriving today! I know it will all work out and that the important things will get done. I'm just hoping the medicine kicks in quickly and that it works like a charm!

Almost done.. with this phase.

The ceilings have the texture and the walls are next! The walls will have a basic orange peel texture.

A back view of the house! Our stucco is on!

Isn't it pretty?
