Reid and MacKenzi's Room...

Seeing Reid and MacKenzi are sharing a room I have been scrambling to make the boys room girl friendly. Haven't gotten there quit yet. I don't want to repaint the room because of the blue carpet, but I am going to incorporate brown and pink cherry blossems to add a girly touch.

I would love for Austin and I to build Reid his first toddler bed before MacKenzi needs to utilize the crib, so we have about six months to do this before this needs to be completed. So I am working on a cool design for his bed. Below is a bed that I would love to build him but it wouldn't fit in the room, so I am going to try and create something like this for him. I always loved a cool bed.

Growing up I always wanted this really cool room, but being a Navy brat we weren't allowed to paint our rooms or do anything fun. My dad didn't see the point if we were going to move every three years.

So My goal is to give my kids a fun and exiciting room that will bring out the creativity. So I really look forward to the next house so each of our babies can have their own room!!!

32 Weeks and Counting!

We are now at 32 Weeks and with 8 weeks left to go I am frantically trying to get the kids rooms set! Reid and MacKenzi will be sharing a room until we can find a bigger hosue :) Thus far I have gained 17 pounds and am still supposed to gain a pound a week until she is here. My blood pressure on the other hand needs to stay down because my goal is to make it to 40 weeks with her. I only made it to 37 weeks with Reid due to preecamplsia. So our fingers are crossed....So stay tuned!!!

Baby #2!

As of March 7th, 2012...Reid will be a big brother!! We are currently 13 weeks and 3 days along!!

9 Months Young as of Yesterday!

Yesterday my little man turned 9 months old and has loved every minute of it. He also reached a little milestone as well, he is now able to get up an all fours on his own! Now we just need him to go forward instead of backwards!

At the end of this month we will make our second big road trip to see his godmother and my best friend Amber :) We are so excited to go and see the ocean and play in the sand!

EXCITING!!!

Week 32.5 Update

James Reid at week 18 and growing...


Today we are at week 32.5 and growing, at week 31 he was 32.5 cm long and grew 3 cm in two weeks. Typically they average 1cm per week...So I was told. The doctor smiled when he read the measurement and the nurse about ran into the hallway to tell the others how much he had grown! It was too funny, I had to ask the doctor if that was "NORMAL" and he says he is going to be a big boy! Our next appointment is this Friday at 4pm, can't wait to hear how big he has gotten this time :)

Our First Ultrasound!

We had our first offical ultrasound from the doc at 7 weeks and 4 days. It's heart rate is at 146 and beating great!

Our Baby in Week 8 of PregnancyYour baby is growing at an amazing rate — about a millimeter every day — and now is the size of a large raspberry. Your little berry is looking a lot less reptilian (even though she has webbed fingers and toes, her tail is just about gone) and a lot more baby-like these days, as her lips, nose, eyelids, legs, and back continue to take shape. Her heart is beating at the incredible rate of 150 times per minute — about twice as fast as yours! And even though you can't yet feel it, she's now making spontaneous movements as she twitches her tiny trunk and limb buds.

12 more weeks until we find out the sex of our baby, SUPER EXCITED!!!

Our First Baby!!

Austin and I are expecting our first little Fleck!!!!!!

We are so excited and what a suprise :)

Your Baby in Week 6 of PregnancyYou might be coping with full-blown pregnancy symptoms (sorry), but there's plenty of good news too. Your baby's jaw, cheeks, chin, eyes, ears, and nose are beginning to form what will eventually become one adorable face. In addition, her kidneys, liver, and lungs are developing, and her heart is now beating 80 times a minute (and getting faster every day). All this and she's still no bigger than the length of a nail head (about a quarter of an inch) from crown to rump!

Marriage License

So today is the day we get our marriage license so we can have that on file for the wedding :)

Exciting stuff, now I get to start all the paperwork for changing my name over, I didn't realize that you had to change your social security card as well...dang it...just another reason to drive to Anderson??!!??

Little Missy!

Austin & I bought Justin a new little puppy which he named Missy. She is a Boxer mix and is as cute as can be! He is so happy to finally have a new dog after many years without one. Enjoy!!

Honeymoon - Nassau Bahamas!

We finally booked out honeymoon! We are going to Nassau Bahama's :) I am really excited, Austin and I have never been there and it is an all inclusive resort so we shouldn't have to spend too much extra money there. We are really excited and simply can't wait. Now to get Austin to play on the beach for a few hours will be a trick :)

Wedding Updated

Well a lot of the wedding planning has been complete. The centerpieces double as the party favors so at the end of the night everyone can take home a small piece of the decorations. Our colors are black, red and white, I was trying to use the standard color linens at the Palomino Ballroom so I didn't have an upcharge to use custom colors. Dinner will be served at 6:45 following the ceremony, we will strt by having a salad and then parmesan encrusted chicken, steamed broccoli, and roasted red potatoes with dill sauce! Oh the small details...

There's a New Chestnut Colt on the farm!

As I was drving down the driveway I thought it was odd that all the horses were grouped together but one, then I looked really closely at the spot standng next to her and realized that she had her baby! He is a cute little chestnut colt, he is very pretty and has nice long legs. I think e is the tallest for the new babies this year. Bec and Tim said he had a fancy face or an elegant head?!? I have no idea which one they commented on, short memory!

Summer Time on the Farm!

What are you looking at? The horses tried licking the camera to pieces, Rebecca would not have liked that!
Across the pond sat the bridge, luckly no trees have landed on it from all the storms we have been having lately!

???Who's that???

I thought this was a cool photo. I forget the horses name but she is supposed to have here baby this Saturday and I can't wait to see it!

2 New Horses on the Farm!

Late Night at the Office

So I spent a late night at the office getting a proposal ready to try and win the bid for a Senior Assisted living Facility located here in Central Indiana. Fingers crossed that we steal their hearts and that they love our design and pick us as the architects....this would be my project as the project architect!!!

Let the Egg Hunt Begin!!

What fun...instead of doing the family easter egg hunt at the barn, this year we did it around the house! Austin, Katie and I went and hid the eggs while Nick peered through the windows trying to watch where his was going to be placed!

The food was great and the entertainment was enjoyable! It was a long and beautiful day!!

LET THE SWIMMING BEGIN!

It's that time of year again to let the summer fun begin! Morse 55* water swims begin this Satruday and the water will stay cold through mid May and be too hot by July. At least I have my kayaker to keep all my liquids and snacks aboard!!!
