It's a Boy!!!

Yes, we're having a boy. Big Daddy was so excited he did the arm yanking "Yes!" almost knocking a hole in the wall and then rubbed the sono tech on the back and said, "Thank You". Uh hello!?! What about your overly sized wife who is laying on the table with your son ACTUALLY in her belly!?! Hehehe... He was redeemed, he helped me off the table and gave me a quick kiss through the large joker sized smile that was affixed to his face. Hehehe... He's now officially talking to my belly button like it's a direct portal to the baby's ear! Saying, "Can you hear Daddy?" It's too cute for words. I'm sure when he starts to be able to feel the baby move his hand will be super glued to my belly. Baby Jacob is developing perfectly and weighed approx. 11 ounces on sono day. It looks like he's sucking his thumb or hand in mouth on the second picture. =0)

The nursery is also finished with the painting, thanks to Daddy and Uncle Leo (Sissy and Bubba also helped a little bit).

We had a marathon make over weekend and knocked out alot of projects. We got one wall painted in my oldest son's room, a few items hung on the walls in my daughter's room and my daughter and I knocked out a few craft projects for various rooms. I scored an AWESOME deal last week on an armoire for the baby's room for...wait for it... $40!!!! It got a pretty decent sanding job by my oldest son and I will be revealing it as soon as Big Daddy finishes the make over. And my daughter painted her ENTIRE bathroom all by herself!!!! Lots of fun remakes to show off. I'm telling I'm hooked!!! The NEW items in the store don't even appeal or excite me anymore. I'd MUCH rather find something cheap that needs some TLC and make it my own. It's so fun and you feel a sense of pride when your done. I think it's because you took something that cost a $1 and made it look like it cost $25 and it has your own personal touch! Best Hobby EVER!!!!! And I'm telling you it all started with this fabulous lady... http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/! Thrifty decorating heaven!!!!

Every body head on over to my wonderfully, beautiful sister's blog to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow and while your there check out her cake blog. She's amazing!!! I can't wait to see my baby shower cake!!! She does such adorable, creative cakes. If you want one for your next special occasion let us know. She did our wedding cake (beautiful) and Andrea's baby shower cake (adorable)!

Mascara Alert... Put on your prayer hat and say a word for my SIL's friend back in her home state of Iowa. Her friend lost her son just a few days after his 18th birthday to a tragic accident. My SIL just returned from Iowa and said it was one of the hardest things ever to experience. Kiss and hug your kiddos EXTRA hard tonight.

Have a Blessed Day, Kim
