Our Humble Abode

Here are some pics of our lovely apartment!  Besides the single paned windows and the nasty water, we love it! Let me rephrase that. . . it is the nicest apartment that I have ever stayed in!  

Our little kitchen! But it is the right size for just the two of us!

This is the kitchen table and chairs! We got these from when we worked at ServiceMaster doing fire resoration--these were "unsalvageables," so we cleaned off all the soot, sanded them and painted it!  The top of the table was just fine, so luckily we didn't have to paint that.  Then we reupholstered the chair pads.  All of this took a LONG time. My amazing mother made that cute table runner!  

Once again, my incredible mother made this!  She actually gave it to Matt the Christmas before we got married (we weren't even engaged yet), but she just knew that the day would come! 

HUGE living room.  Which is the coolest thing about the apartment!

Sweet storage space!

So far the only pic of me pregnant!

Brown, Red and gold bathroom!  The flooring has gold flakes in it--pretty retro, but it works!

Mattie Boy's latest art project!  His teacher was very impressed!  This green dude is from an old Japanese film.. . that is all I know!

Flutter

    Yesterday, I felt the baby move for the first time!  I was sitting in the computer chair and I leaned forward to grab something and I felt a little flutter in my tummy!  That was very exciting!
    Also, in 11 days I have my next ultrasound and they said they would be able to tell the gender!  That will be when I am 18 1/2 weeks!  We are so excited!  So, in 11 days we will be posting!

14 weeks Baby!

   I am officially at 14 weeks!  It is so cool to be in the second trimester. . . I just feel like I am getting so much closer!  In 6 weeks they will be able to tell if it is a boy or girl!  Well, at 11 weeks I had an ultrasound and here are the results!  The baby weighed 2 ounces and the computer decided that I am due June 24th instead of July 1st.  I heard that the doctor usually just sticks with the initial due date.  As far as the rest of the calculations go. . . I have no idea what they mean!  I was so excited about how well the ultrasound turned out because I remember looking at the ones my mom would bring home of my siblings when I was young and I could never tell what was what!  My MIL says he has Mattie boy's nose, and others have decided the baby is a girl because it looks like she/he has a ponytail.  To me it looks like the baby is kickin' back on a nice summer day!  As my MIL would call it, "WOMB SERVICE."  She is always talking about how Mattie boy never moved when he was in the womb and didn't want to come out--that is when she came up with "womb service."  That always gives me a good laugh!
