2 weeks, too long

boy, it's been awhile since i posted...i didn't realize time flew by so quickly!

Well, the house is coming along wonderfully. Ted has been "mudding" and prepping the kitchen walls for paint. This is a very tedious task as there is a lot of waiting around while the mud dries and then you sand, and start all over. Pictures would not do this any justice, so if anyone is wondering where the pics have been...what you may see may not look like much....but it does if you see it every day...coming along nicely.

We chose a kitchen plan and are pretty set with our cabinets. I have picked out paint colors for the master bedroom as well as the nursery. The landscaping has been trimmed back considerably which allows us to view the neighbors across the street when looking out the front door. Decisions are still being made on flooring although we both agree that we shall fore go any use of carpeting in the entire house. The entry way, kitchen and family room will be tile and the rest of the downstairs will wait until after our move.

I have to hand it to my guy - the most motivated, wonderful guy ever - who has plugged away, day after day without any help and has kept his vision of completion within eyesight. I do not know of anyone else who would take on such a huge project....all alone. True, Drew has helped out when he can which has been an enormous help and i thank him for it....but Ted is there every day....doing something...in order to get our house ready for us to move in. no laborers hired...no friends to the rescue...working weeknights and weekends...my super hero! he deserves more than a pat on the back, or a "job well done". there is no reward big enough baby. thank you from the deepest part in my heart.

on another note, i have been wrestling with a painful tooth lately and with the helpful budge of my friend Meredith, i have decided to once and for all take care of the problem and rid myself of pain. i go to the dentist today to find out what may be in store for me. i know a root canal is an option but i fear what else may be wrong... at any rate...i can honestly say, that as much as i despise and abhor the dentist...i look forward to this finally being over. don't worry everyone, no harm to the baby...i googled all i could and this is safe!

Ultrasound is tomorrow. i can hardly stand it. good thing i had my tooth on my mind or the day wouldn't have come up so quickly. i simply am giddy about finding out the sex, altho my honey is "excited", it cannot possibly relate to my elation. woo hoo - stay tuned for more on that.

gotta get a new pic of the belly. i am growing quite nicely, i must say. i am still loving being pregnant! the kicking is the most beautiful feeling in the world. ;-) we love you little baby.
