IT'S A ????????????


WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA! I know this is a shocker for most of you because I hate surprises, and I can't keep a good secret! Most of you even doubted that I would have the willpower to not be told what the baby is. BUT WE DID IT!

Now Suey on the other hand is a totally different story. She tagged along to the ultrasound (just kidding I wanted her to go with me). But after it was all over she looked at me and said "I have to go out to the bathroom." As I leave the room a few minutes later (after talking to the doctor) What do I find? Suey chatting with the ultra-sound tech. So basically she knows what the baby is and Neil and I don't. She of course thinks this is extremely funny. As I was getting out of her car she yelled " Your having .... long drawn out pause..... a baby! Followed by her famous cackle. Don't go trying to get it out of her though. I will be furious if I have this baby and I am the only one in the fam that doesn't know its sex.
Anyway, everything looked really good. I am excited to find out what it is in FOUR months!

{A little update}

I have been terrible at blogging lately. This is mostly because I have been spending everyday at the house trying to get it ready for the big move. Here is what we have done so far. The dining room and kitchen are now brown, the living room is blue, my room is a horrendous color of green and brown (which is getting repainted today), and Avery's room is pink striped. We have replaced the chandelier in the dining room, all of the cupboard hardware, and the doorknobs. Carpet was supposed to be lay ed today until my little brother-in-law texted a picture of snow to my carpet layer, and he was out of there to go snowmachinig with him. (don't worry I will make Robbie pay for it when it comes time to build furniture, he is my new little handyman) Neil is ripping out all of the old paneling in the upstairs and installing bead board, and I am painting all of the upstairs cupboards. It has been a lot of work! It is starting to look really good though, and is feeling more like our house instead of my mom's. Thank you so much to all of you that have helped me paint. I will post pictures as soon as we are in. Hopefully next weekend!
