6 months

Baby girl is very active. Feeling good, but not much motivation to work out. I'm lucky if I make it to the treadmill and do 2 miles...walking at an incline.
Mostly I'll do some floor exercises while watching t.v. in the evenings. Leg lifts, tricep dips, push ups, and using 10 lb dumbbells. I try to stay fit even if the weight gain is steady. It looks like I'm on track to gain the same amount as my other two pregnancies. 40 lbs. Luckily the weight comes off quickly once the baby is born. It only took 6 months to get back to normal after Chase was born. I count my blessings in that sense. I do enjoy being pregnant, and I'm cherishing this one because it may be the last time.
The biggest problem I'm facing is naming her. I have a list, but it's really up to Brett on what he likes (and can pronounce). Good luck Brett!!!

Our House After

I wanted the house because of this kitchen. It was the first thing I saw when we looked through the windows.





Massive living room, tall ceilings, windows making up the whole back of the house = Tough to heat. But I still love it.





My view at breakfast every morning. Overlooking our 10 acres. So Zen.



Our wonderful entry way. We worked so hard on it!! (See previous post). The Dining room is to the left of the entry and the office is on the right. The office will be a fourth bedroom in a few years.



I still have a ton of decorating to do but that will come in time. I'm enjoying the clean look of empty walls right now.

The House Before

Here's some pic's of when we were fixing up our new house.

Living room after we took out all the nasty flooring and got rid of the mold.



Working on the entry way tile.



My dad (my hero i should say) cutting tile. We couldn't have done it without his help. Let's not forget the mom's, babysitting is oh so helpful too!!
We tiled the kitchen, entryway, and three bathrooms. Whew!!





Chase bathing in my farmhouse sink (which I love).



Knee protector? Nay, bum protector!



Putting in baseboards.



Finishing up the middle of the entry way tile. We did the outer sides so the carpet could be put in. Then we did the middle last. We wanted to take our time with it.



Soo pretty!!



Carpet pads being laid for the carpet. Getting excited!!





Family enjoying the new carpet. What a good feeling. Yes...me and the kids did carpet angels :)
