31 weeks and ready to grow....

So we had our visit to the 3D/4D ultrasound place on Saturday.  Of course in true fashion, Sadie was semi-cooperative.  At first she did not want to turn over, but when she did there were a few obstacles.  First her feet, then her hands, until finally she decided to snuggle with the placenta and hide. Luckily we have one more shot to get some good pics of her in about a week.  I am trying to be optimistic for the next go round.  I did;  however, get 2 good shots of her perfect little face. Her estimated weight was 3lbs 13oz.  I am hoping that she slows down a little on the growing, which I know is just wishful thinking on my part. 

James swears she looks like me, but I guess that is something we will have to wait until February to see.  In the meantime, we are trying to prepare for Christmas this weekend.  Our kitchen project is not quite there yet, but I have been assured that we will have an operating stove by Thursday.  It has definitely been a huge undertaking, but James has been diligent in trying to get it done.  I finally get to put my Christmas tree up tonight and house can have some Christmas cheer for dinner on Saturday.  Here are some before and afters of the kitchen project.

It is coming along and we should have the majority of it ready to go for this weekend.  We are just waiting for one cabinet and the counterops.  Hopefully they will be here on Wednesday and the painting will be finished by Tuesday evening.  Then after this weekend the cabinets will be restained and it will be time for the backsplash, new cabinet hardware, and the final touches.  Our goal is to finish by the end of the year, we will see how successful we are. 
James and I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas !!!



Here We Go...28 weeks and counting

So like so many of my friends before, James and I wanted to start a blog to keep everyone that wants to be involved up-to-date on this exciting time in our lives.  Currently we are remodeling the kitchen in our new home and making way for the arrival of our first baby, Sadie Ysabel Downie.  Who will hopefully make her debut on or before February 21, 2011.  James and I are very excited and cannot wait to meet her.  She is very active and kicking up a storm.  Her nursery is almost done, if I could just find the perfect glider.  Here are some pics of her room, which we have taken a break on finishing since we have started the kitchen project...

Our next ultrasound is scheduled for the Dec. 18th so we will get to finally see our little girl in 3D, which is really exciting.  I plan on trying to keep everyone updates, but please bear with me because I am very new to the blog scene.
