19 weeks on 29 Apr 2010: Looking at you (head on view of the baby's face: see the lips, nose, and eyes?)



19 weeks on 29 Apr 2010: Stop taking my picture please. (Baby with arms crossed in front of the face.)




Here's a glimpse of the Baby Bean that has been making me so hungry and tired lately. Things are looking great so far. Baby is measuring in at 11 oz and is sized appropriate for the due date of 22 Sept 2010. Baby will be arriving at least a week early. We have decided not to find out the sex of the baby this time around, though Greg and multiple others are convinced that it's a girl. Our next ultrasound will be in 4 weeks.

Graham's tree

Claudette and Charles surprised us with a beautiful redbud tree for Graham. We planted it this weekend in the front yard: visible from both the kitchen window and the front door. Greg figures it weighed about 500lbs, so luckily we only had to get it down into the hole. We are so thrilled to have this new addition.

Hazard lights

This weekend, we picked up 2 rhodies from Christine for our front yard. This meant a drive down the turnpike with the very large bushes blowing in the breeze behind our cars. We got quite a few looks, but we love the new shrubs. Thanks to Christine and Todd!!

Room Update

Greg has been working on the built-in unit for the office and the window/door trimwork. The wainscoting has been painted its official color, and things are looking up!

Yard Update

So, this picture shows part of the mess that was the front fern/pricker/birch trees. (Looking out from the front door.)




This is how it actually looks now! Yea! We're so excited to have grass. (We have to admit that we actually had a pro do this. We had two trees and a large shrub moved around in the yard.)
