WOW!! I am actually posting belly pics within 2 weeks of each other. I am going to try to stay on top of this as I am growing everyday, at least I feel like it.I feel like my belly button is going to pop any day now. It has been funny to me to watch it stretch. I'm not real sure why I think it's funny but I do and am quite entertained by it (doesn't take much these days).
Our little gift should be about 2lbs and around 14 inches. She sure is feisty for a little thing. Must take after her Mama. It's hard for me to imagine how strong her movements will be in the next couple of months. She about doubles me over sometimes now. And she LOVES to hang out on top of my bladder. I do have to say it has been an awesome experience for me to feel her moving, I could never have imagined just how amazing it is to know that my child is living inside of me. Her daddy is a big fan of feeling her move also. We watched a movie last night and he had his hand on my belly almost the whole movie and she moved around all that time. She seems to be on some kind of schedule now. I feel her move a lot more during the day now and a WHOLE lot in the early to late evening. She has yet to wake me up, don't worry I'm not counting on that lasting. I do wake up but it is because the bathroom is calling my name, I'm sweating (so gross), acid reflux is rearing it's ugly head or my back feels as though it may explode. AWWW I love being pregnant. No, I really do, there is no sarcasm in that at all. After what we have been through, I couldn't have asked for an easier pregnancy. I had always assumed mine would be like my mom's. Hers were awful. She threw up all the time. YUCK!! But this truly has been an awesome experience. Don't get me wrong, I do get uncomfortable sometimes, but it will all be worth it when we see our Bella for the first time!!!

Finally!!!
Well I finally took some "after" pictures of the house. AND we got a new couch!!! It is so comfy and soft and I love to take my afternoon naps on it. But first here are some pictures of how we got started. Like I have said before, we had alot of help getting all of the painting done.Dad got us started painting samples on the walls.
I attempted to take off the hand rail. It didn't work for me so Dad ended up having to finish it.
Working hard!!
Crystal
Terry (acting silly as always)
Mom (she definitely worked the hardest)
I have to say it was really cold in the house . Crystal caught me and Mom snuggling.
Cheese!!
Yes, they were watching T.V.!! No furniture in the house yet, but the cable was hooked up.
PRIORITIES!!
And the furniture arrives. Dinning Room.
Living Room from the kitchen. And our new couch!!!

Living Room from the front door. And the new couch!!
Front entry way
New light
Upstairs hallway. To the right is the loft area, which is a mess so no pictures yet. To the right is our bedroom, also a mess. Straight ahead is the guest bathroom and around the corner to the right are the guest room and Bella's room.
Guest Bathroom
Guest Bedroom. We still have some work to do in here.
AND our work in progress.......Bella's room!!!
Back Deck
Sorry for the blurriness, but this is Terry's favorite place....outside by the fire.

So that is the majority of the house. We didn't make any changes in the kitchen so it is still the same. We are still working on the loft area and several other things but we are getting there. I also must mention that Ross and my brother Tim helped out a WHOLE LOT but somehow managed to stay away from the camera. So that is our house. I will post the last of the pictures when we finally get things completely finished.

Belly Pics - 25 weeks
Ok- so I'm lacking one day of being 25 weeks but I'm just going to go ahead and call it that. Terry took these pictures in our awesome backyard. Yes, I should be inside getting things put together so I can post the after pics, BUT the day is far too beautiful to stay inside.
Bella is a very active little girl. She is getting big enough and aggresive enough in her movements that I can watch her change the shape of my belly. This morning I was reading a magazine and I had it resting on my belly, the magazine kept jumping because she was moving around so much. It is pretty neat!
