Hi, we're here, we have arrived!

Ok, well needless to say the last two weeks have been pure chaos, so I hope you understand why I haven't posted anything recently. For once in our lives we were actually on time and it was amazing. We spent our first night in the house on Friday, June 1st. There wasn't a whole lot of furniture or really anything in the house that night, but damn it we stayed here! We did have to sleep on our blow up camping mattress, but it was totally worth it and it was only for one night. On the 2nd we had our new furniture delivered and moved all of our belongings that were either in storage or at Andrew's parents house into our house. I should probably back up a little bit and fill you in on what happened the week prior to moving in. My parents were in town for the week and came out to help us almost everyday. They were a HUGE help and I honestly don't think we would have been able to stay here on the 1st without them. My dad was Andrew's assistant, he put in lots of light fixtures and smoke detectors. My mom helped me clean and paint. Our kitchen is completely finished now with all the appliances hooked up and in working order. We have all of our carpet in throughout the house (it looks great!) The bathrooms are slowly coming together. We now have all of our toilets installed and working. We have one shower in the guest bath working and our shower just needs to be tiled and finished. All of our closets and pantry have the shelving installed, making it a lot easier to organize things. This past weekend we emptied and put away all of our moving boxes. Life is definitely starting to settle down.

This past Thursday, I had my ultrasound with the high risk doctor. Everything went OK and the baby was moving around like CRAZY! They were able to get the measurements that they needed and also discovered a potential issue. I have two arteries that supply blood to the uterus and they aren't performing at the level they should be. However, it didn't really seem to me that the Doc was that concerned about it. He did say that it could cause preeclampsia. I just have to go back in for another ultrasound in 4 weeks so they can measure the baby's growth. Other than that the baby looked very healthy, a little on the small side, but still very healthy.

On Saturday we went down to the river with our friends Joe, Jill and Graham, Kristy and Payton. It was a beautiful cloudless day and everyone had a great time hanging out on the boat. Andrew had even more fun whipping Graham and Joe around on the tube.

THANKS to everyone who helped to make our home building dream a reality!
