The Big News Reveal

Well its been a crazy past few months as you remember from our last posts and if you haven't heard already some of our crazy-ness has come from finding out we are expecting! Our baby is due on September 8th and we couldn't be more excited. Its been quite the long process for us to get to this point with lots of prayers and thoughts in our behalf. Here is the way that we announced to most people. Our family has known for about 6 weeks prior to us announcing it to everyone else, but we thought this was kind of a fun way to announce it to the rest of our family and friends. Derek whipped it up in just a few short hours and he did really really well for just the short time he had. I have a very talented husband.

I have one more week until I am officially out of my first trimester and it has gone by really quickly thus far. We are so excited and already making some plans for our new arrival. :) Thank you to everyone for all of your support to us as we have gone through the process of Dr. appointment after doctor appointment and the ups and downs of it all.

This past week we celebrated my moms birthday. She just got her whole house remodeled recently because of all the water damage that happened to it (if you don't remember that it was in a past blog...long story...but if you would like to read that you can search through and read all about the damage done there). Anyway...She has done a lot of remodeling and redecorating. They have totally re-done the upstairs with a new look and feel. Its a fun game room/TV room with a cool big new entertainment center and such. I made this canvas painting craft so she hang it in her newly redecorated room. I thought it turned out really well.

In the process of making...

Final product. 

Until next week...Thanks for reading!
