Pregnancy Pics

Over the last few months I have been taking lots of pregnancy pics...so here are a bunch of prego photos from January through mid-April..I have grown a lot!!!!:)

It's About Time

So I'm back to blog finally...A couple months ago our laptop died and we finally got it replaced a few weeks ago. Then the process started of uploading all my pics which is a whole thing that is finally figured out and now it's time to update! :)

So since my last posting of February 12...I had one of the best Valentines Day(Jeph sent me on a pic scavenger hunt and we had a romantic eveing together), we welcomed our newest niece Naomi on March 15th, I celebrated my 28th birthday, we have pretty much finished the nursery and all other house projects, Jeph went on a Missions Trip to Mexico, we celebrated Easter and we have taken a ton of prego pics...we only have 25 days to go!!!

Here are some pics of our 2nd step of the Nursery...

Projects..

So Jeph and I have been working on some projects in order to get ready for baby Aiden. :) The last few weeks we started the nursery...we took off the trim(to be painted) we painted the whole room two coats. This week we are painting the trim so we can add the sports accents. In the next few weeks we are getting new carpet put in and building a armoire. By the end of march we fully intend to have it ready for the finishing touches(we'll post more pics throughout the process).
The other project is our bathroom...we had to replace the mirror/light combo because it was falling apart and we needed towel storage. So we moved an armoire into the bathroom and are making it into towel storage and making it beachy. :) The mirror is up and we have been working on the frame(I'll post the finished project pictures soon!!)
Below are our project pictures in the first stage...

6 month baby bump

Jeph had to take this pic of me lounging on the couch with his cell phone...but it's a pretty true pic of me and my 6 month baby bump! So now we are 24 weeks and 4 days and heading into the third trimester!!! I can't believe it!!!
We have a busy couple months ahead..working on the nursery, some house projects, etc...so I hope this little man does not come early at all!!!:) I'm not experiencing morning sickness that much anymore(I'm taking unisom/b6 everynight which is helping), and I'm really enjoying being pregnant!!!I've kept up on my pregnancy scrapbooking, my pregnancy journal, and babysite. I'm feeling pretty accomplished!! Now if the rest of this pregnancy/labor/delivery go just as smoothly as the rest?!!:)

Nice Day

Today on the coast it was beautiful...now it's always beautiful but for mid January it's amazingly nice. So Jeph and I took Jett out to the each and enjoyed the sun, sand, and lazy afternoon. We took some pics and played fetch with Jett. We had the best afternoon. :)
We got a lot done today but we also got to relax and enjoyed the nice weather! We love the Northwest and our afternoon at the beach was perfect. Here are some pics of our great day!!
(Our names plus Aiden, Jett and Jeph, Me and Jett at 6 months pregnant, Jetts ball and paw-so cute)

Baby Bump

It's official as of 20 weeks I have a baby bump!!!! Each week I'm noticing more and more of a bump, infact I'm feeling Aiden move a lot more now it's so obvious it's him!! I realize I've been feeling him for over a month, I just wasn't sure.
So here are my 20 week pics...I'll post more as soon as I get them downloaded.

New Year...New Goals

So it's a new year 2009..this is a big year for Jeph and I. We are going to have our first child in May. While thats exciting it's also scary. This is the first time we have been in this position and although we wanted it and are ready for it, we are both feeling a little inadequate. We are so thankful we are in this position but are also aware of how much we have to do/finish, and of course the financial aspect.
We know that no one is ever really ready for kids but we just never thought we'd(mainly me,LeAnne) feel so overwhelmed.
We have our project lists and plans laid out and we are taking things one day at a time. With love and support of our friends/family, and God's help we will make it! :)
We are so glad to be on this journey...no matter what comes our way.

So, since it's the new year Jeph and I have a few new goals:
*Serve God everyday with all our hearts, in all we do.
*Daily Devotionals more regularly
*Exercise 4-5 days a week(more regularly)
*Tithe at least 10% every months consistently
*pay off debt
*get our savings going again
*family car w/4 wheel drive
*no matter what happens with any relationship/situation do the right thing, even
if it means being on our own.

Some of these goals are ongoing to a point every year...this year a lot of things/priorites have changed. We want to set a good example for our son Aiden in all we do, and we want to do the best parenting job we can. We want to stand up for whats right and be more bold in our faith even if that means going against the popular choice.
We are so thankful for another year and this year God has given us the best gift of all...we hope we honor him in all we say and do.
It's gonna be fine in 2009!!!!!!!!
