What's new with you?

We had a doctor's appointment this week and everything is going well and right on schedule. Roughly 16 more weeks and the wee one will be here!
We have our crib put together and all ready for the little one. Since the room is already yellow, we don't plan on painting, so now we are just trying to decide on bedding (maybe this?) and will be registering soon for all the other baby goodies we are going to need.


We have a garden again this year and have experimented with starting it all from seed. Not sure if we do a garden from "scratch" again, but it has been a good experiment so far.


Trying to finish a gift for Olivia (Liberty's little one due in less than 2 weeks) this weekend. Once I send it off to her I will post pictures.

Just one more week of after-school mentoring at Harvest Hands and the kids will be out for summer break! It is hard to believe that the summer is here (but I know all the students and teachers are so ready for it!). I probably won't be able to mentor 4 days a week next year, but will see how it fits in with the baby's schedule. I would miss my kids too much if I didn't go at least once or twice a week.

Have a great week!

Learning to wave

Baby "B" says hello to all the family and friends out there!



Our last appointment went well and will have our next one next week. We were able to see the heart, limbs, fingers, toes, etc at the last visit.
We are still sticking to our decision to not find out the gender and it was tough not to ask at the appointment. A friend of mine found out they are having a boy and for a day or so I really wanted to know if we were having a boy or girl, but I think it was just momentary weakness for knowing. I know that finding out in September is going to be so exciting, so I can wait until then.
Since the last appointment, baby is doing well and is enjoying lots of sleep, doing somersaults and just hanging out in general. Baby is about 8 in (crown to rump) and weighs almost a pound! It is really amazing to know that a little person is growing in there! Truly a miracle and a gift from God.

Hope you have a great weekend!!
Love, Khakki

Off and Running

The day has arrived for me to give in and start a blog. Hopefully I will have something to talk about (that shouldn't be difficult for me, right, Matt?)
Watch for pictures and updates of Baby B, crochet/knitting projects and maybe a little gardening.
Happy reading!
