So much happening at once! Counters, Carpet, and Windows oh my!!

Taking out the old window. 

New Window! Yay!  As you can see, we (and by we I mean Joel) made the opening smaller so we didnt have such a gigantic window.  We wanted to do a bay window here, however, we had to say no to the $1400 price tag.  Ouch!!!

Well, this bathroom only took us 6 months, but I think it was well worth the time and effort.  I LOVE it! :) 


I am so thankful for a talented husband!  Our new shower, surround, and built in shelves!

Baby's room.  Tan and pink walls.  Very excited to show off the new carpet though.  That was installed this morning in all 3 bedrooms!

Master bedroom.  His and Her closets (even if they are small, better than the 1 we share now)! Notice the carpet!  All 3 bedrooms and bathroom are complete now with the exception of new windows, trim and doors.  The windows were delivered this morning as well so hopefully soon those will get installed.

M. R. Oele


Well, I figured it was about time to put some pictures of our newest addition on here!  We've had 5 ultrasounds so far, so we have plenty of pictures of her! Please pray there is no more cause for concern, and therefore, no furthure need for more ultrasounds (although it is very nice to be able to see her, they do such amazing things with those ultrasound wands!).  We have her name picked out, but I'm not sure we are going to shout it from the rooftops like we did about her gender!  You can see in the title her initials, so there is a hint...and it's not Megan Ruth either! :-)

Giving Mom and Dad
a wave "hello"!
Her precious profile!


Due to an anterior placenta (just means it is high and on the front of my abdomen), her movements were not being felt, and consequently, terrified her mommy!  She has been a very active girl so far, and because of funny positioning and the anterior placenta, I stopped feeling those movements.  So, we got to see her again!  The tech was so kind to us and assured us all was perfect and showed us our little girl in 3D!!!  I discovered these are not as creepy when it is your own child! :-)





All snuggled up! It's amazing how much love there is to give to your children! We love you to the ends of the earth M.R.O.
