16 Weeks down 24 weeks to go!

What a busy week we had! On Thursday John and I went down to Davenport to get the final things out of our house and to sell it to a new couple. I knew that this would be very hard on me since I loved that house soooo much!!! But it was a lot worse than I thought it would be. I think I teared up three or four times as we were signing papers , and then continued to tear up as I drove by the house and saw them moving in. I guess that house had a little bit of my heart and it was such a starting point in our life as a couple and I didn't want to let it go. :( I am sure that it was also due to the fact that it was our connection to Davenport as well, and now we don't have that. (yes i know we can stay with family, but its not the same)

So on a happier note, I had my doctors appt on Tuesday of this week and I got to hear the heartbeat again!!! (John couldn't make this appt due to work :( ) Baby Guys heart rate was 142! This was a big difference from a month ago when it was 162, but the doctor assured me that this was completely normal and that I shouldn't be worried. I have also begin to notice that I can no longer roll over on my stomach, becasue of a bump in my tummy :) what a great feeling!! Our next doctors appt is August 28th! We will find out at this appt if we are having a boy or girl!!! Almost all my friends on facebook voted that its going to be a boy! We will see if they are right.

Well we hope everyone is doing wonderful and we would LOVE visitors so please make a trip to come see us! We miss you all!!!!!

15 weeks and counting!

What a busy week we have had at the Guy Household! I was fortunate to have both my parents come and visit our new house for the first time over the weekend. My dad came on Saturday morning and got the tour of our house before him and I went to Cedar Rapids for Lexies showchoir competition. While I was there, John worked on the house and has it now 99% painted! Central High School came out as grand champs at Jefferson and it was soooo fun to watch and be apart of her win. They really do have a fantastic show. The competition ended around midnight and after it was over I drove Mom and Lex to our house in Denver to stay the night. We woke up the next morning and gave them a full tour of the house and then went to breakfast in town.

Yesterday we got some crazy news that the buyers of our house want to close this week, and a few hours ago we got the exact time of when our wonderful home in Davenport will no longer be ours. John and I will be in Davenport on Thursday around 1:00 to sign away our house :( As sad as this is going to be, and as I sit here just thinking about it, I tear up, it really is the best thing for us to move on physically and financially.

Yesterday was also a highlight day in that John and I put in an underground fence for our dogs. Smokey was trained almost immediatly and Dallas is getting close, so hopefully within the next few days we will be worry free from runaway dogs :)

As far as this baby goes, I am 15 weeks along and approaching 16! We have our next doctors appt next week and I can't tell you how excited I am to have a probe on my belly again! Hope this finds everyone well. MIss you all!

Shopping

So I guess I have been pretty bad at updating this thing lately. A couple of weeks ago John and I were home visiting friends and family. On Saturday while he was having male bonding time, I was able to go out with my mom maternity clothes shopping. We had a wonderful time and finished off the day with some sushi (dont worry, mine was all cooked) at Osaka in the mall. I got some really great clothes and a couple of dresses that I can wear to work once it gets a little bit warmer. My mom also got Baby its first book, Pat the Bunny, this is sooo special because this was our favorite book when we were little. Saturday night we went over to Mike and Marys to visit with them and were able to see Baby Eva, who is getting so big and Baby Tyler. It was such a fun time and John and I both love seeing our niece and nephew, it makes us really wish that we lived closer.

I have been feeling wonderful, and am almost 15 weeks along. We have our next appt. on March 24 and I can't wait to hear our babies little heart beat again. Hope everyone is doing well and we would love to have visitors!

We miss you all!!
