It's That Time of Year!

Here are a few photos of what's been cropping up lately...

This year we've expanded things a bit... Not including all the new fruit trees (the "orchard" has doubled in size), we are working on: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cucumbers, cantaloupe, watermelon, sweet corn, 8 types of tomatoes, 8 types of peppers, corn, spaghetti squash, zucchini, and sun flowers! Whew!

15 Weeks Today!

Slowly but surely things are moving along with the baby and preperations for baby. :) I'm reading a lot, peppering my mom friends with questions, and even doing a few things to get the nursery ready (we now have a crib, mattress, and bedding's on it's way). For the most part, I feel really great, and my plan is to do as much as possible now... before I am a house and can't move anymore!


Nursery Details: (for those of you who might find this fun)

Here's a piece of my nursery plan (I'm a nerd, I know). I am going to paint a tree mural (no-voc paint, of course) with a growth chart blended in... and hopefully incorporate a cute bird house like this one somewhere as well. I'm making mobiles... hence the flying birds. Also, the crib in the illustration is our actual crib, but the bedding is different.

Heartbeat!

We heart the heartbeat for the first time this morning (at the ultrasound last month we could see it, but not yet hear it)! I am practically skipping everywhere I am so excited. Everything is going SO well so far!

We are on a doctor rotation during the pregnancy, where we see a different doctor (all women) from the practice every time we go in. I've now met all of them and they're all so great. I'll be happy with any one of them delivering our baby! :)

Happy happy happy day!

Now back to our regularly scheduled blogcast...

So you may be wondering why I've been so bad about updating this thing... The truth is that we've been just a little preoccupied. We are have a BABY!

We found out super early (not even 4 weeks) - which was a blessing but it also made the wait to share the news even longer. At this point, I am 13 weeks along and just starting trimester #2!

Four weeks ago we had our first baby photoshoot... Lil' Murph (I'm told) looks a bit different now (more like a human... less like a gummy bear)...
