Turns out it's a girl!

Well, I guess doctor's predictions can be wrong because that little boy I thought we were having turned out to be a girl! I'm a bit shocked, but looks like I will save a fortune in clothes and baby stuff since most of what I have is pink. More importantly, though is that all the organs looked normal and her growth thus far is good. I haven't even thought about girl names, but I remember when we were expecting Lexi that Alexis was the only name we could both agree on so it should be fun trying to come up with another girl name we both like. Any suggestions??

Lexi's new kitty cat..... hopefully

The neighbor gave Alexis a kitty cat on Saturday, but of course by last night we couldn't find it anywhere. So these are pictures of either our new pet or the cat we had for one day! Not sure which yet. The other two are just snapshots taken Saturday afternoon of Lexi in the backyard. I thought they were sweet so I posted them.

Here's a little tour of the new house.

Hey guys, a lot of you asked me about the house so I thought I would post some pictures. Keep in mind the house isn't fully decorated yet and the yard isn't done, but you can get the general idea of things turned out.

Vacation 08

Baby on the way!

I am officially 13 weeks pregnant today! We are expecting a baby (my doctor thinks it's a boy) around Feb 2nd. I went Friday the 18th and got to hear the heartbeat, it was so exciting! As most of you know this will make the 3rd time within a year I have been pregnant so we were afraid to get too excited until we got past the 12 week mark. Thankfully the doctor found out that I had a blood clotting condition that was causing the miscarriages so I am taking shots of blood thinner twice daily in my stomach to prevent the clotting.
I wanted to post the picture from the ultra sound, but it didn't come thru on my computer very plainly. I'll keep everyone posted during the months ahead on our new little one!

4th of July Weekend

Here's a few pictures my mother-in-law emailed me this morning of the cookout we had at her house on the 4th. The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful, except we did set in the rain for a couple of hours to watch the Kingston fireworks. Lexi was more impressed with the ducks at the lake than the fireworks show. Chris and I worked a lot of the weekend on the house trying to clean mortar off windows... we have a wild life don't we!

Random Pictures

Here's some snap shots that were taken in the month of June. Lexi loves to go over to my mom's and play (torment) her cat Ruby. As you can see from the middle picture, Lexi has learned the art of making faces. She also loves to get her toes painted and will actually hold still while they dry. That & reading books to her are about the only two things she will hold still for!
