Weekend Fun!

The second weekend in April we went up to Dad and Mom Wiese's to hang out with family! Everyone was home except Abby and AJ and Annika and Kathryn (we missed you guys!) Earlier in the week Ben and Sherry drove up from Virginia and stopped and spent the night at our house on their way to Dad and Mom's. We had fun showing them around town, disc golfing and grilling out. So on Friday we headed up to spend more time with them and the rest of the family. Friday night we got there and found that Andrew's sister Melissa is pregnant with her 4th! We are so excited that our baby will have a cousin close in age on the Wiese side! Saturday the boys woke up early and disc golfed 72 holes while us ladies went shopping. We had a fun evening hanging out and talking. I am so mad that I didn't take any pictures! Thanks so much Dad and Mom for a wonderful weekend!

Almost 7 weeks left...

and everything seems to be going well. Last week I had to get an antibiotic for a sinus infection that wouldn't go away... I have never even had one before! I really wasn't too excited about taking anything but I really needed relief, mostly so I could get some sleep. Now that that is almost gone I am sleeping much better and feeling pretty well. I have been walking almost every day except these past couple because of the rain. At my 32 week checkup on Wednesday the babies heartbeat was 158 and everything else looked good. My blood pressure was on the higher end so I am praying that goes down. Here is a picture of my belly at 31 weeks...

Here it is at 32 weeks...
So we have been working on the room lately. Here is some progress we have made. We have this old dresser that my mom got from her grandma a long time ago and she used it to change my diapers on. Well I painted it red when I took it to college and we have been using it in our extra room since. I decided that instead of buying one it would be perfect to use if we could just paint it white. Here is what it looked like before...
Andrew started sanding it. He did an amazing job sanding it down to the original wood!
And here is what it looked like when he was done and before I started painting it.
Here is the final product! I also spray painted the hardware because I could not find any new that would fit the hole sizes. I am very pleased with it and am so excited to use it!
We also got some cubicles to put some baskets in and a rocking chair. We bought the crib and Dad and Mom Wiese are bringing it down in the van tomorrow so we can put it together! (The box wouldn't fit in our car:) Everything is coming together and I'll post some pictures when it is mostly done because it won't be done done until after we have the baby and find out what we are having! We can't wait!

Massner Easter

These are a little late but I wanted to share some pictures of the Massner Easter. We had a wonderful time at Uncle Kenny's and Aunt Lori's with delicious food and beautiful weather for an egg hunt! Thanks so much for having us all!

Better late than never...

On March 20th we celebrated Nichole's 29th birthday at Dad and Mom's. We had a wonderful grilled meal! I painted Mackenzie and Kate's nails and got mine painted by Mackenzie in return:) We celebrated with an ice cream cake from Culver's and had fun watching her open her gifts.

Leah and Dustin... can't wait until she is officially my sister:)
My man and I. (you can see my beautiful nails if you look closely:)
Dad, Brock, Mom and Kate enjoying dessert.
Mom and her girls... minus Mackenzie and Kate.
They are twins!
We are so happy you live close now, Nichole, so we could celebrate your birthday with you! Thanks for being an amazing sister and for all you do... we love you!

28 weeks!

I'm in my third trimester and I am feeling pretty good! I had my glucose test yesterday and haven't heard anything so I think all is well there. The heart beat was back up to 152 and everything looked good. I am really enjoying watching my belly move:) I do get a little uncomfortable when I have to sit for longer periods of time. Andrew and I are enjoying the weather had have been taking a lot of walks! We have our 4th prenatal class tonight. Last week we got a tour of the hospital and got to watch a video of 3 births. It was good to see them so we know what we are getting into but it did make me a little nervous:) We are slowly making progress on the baby room and looking forward to my sisters baby in about 7 weeks!

96 days left...

and things are going well! I had a Dr. appointment today and everything is looking good. The heart beat was 136 and it previously has always been 156... it kinda got Andrew excited. I am going to start going in every two weeks now and my next appointment is the glucose test. I have been feeling the baby move around so much lately and I love it. The only thing that has been bothering me is my pubic bone. Mostly when I go on walks and then after. I know it is just getting ready for the baby and I guess that is good:) We started our prenatal classes a couple weeks ago. I am enjoying them a little more than Andrew. I'm just excited to know what is coming... and a little nervous too! We have started on the baby room a bit. We have finally decided on things and now I just need to be patient until things can get done. Our families have their bets in and "a boy" has the most votes. Besides that we are staying busy and our weekends are getting filled up! Hopefully that will make time go faster!

Birthdays!

This past weekend we got to go up to Chicago to see family and celebrate our niece's birthday! We left Friday noon and got to eat dinner with Kevin, Melissa, and kids before we took them to their school fun fair for the evening. We had fun playing games and winning prizes! On Saturday we got to go with Melissa and the kids to Home Depot to do the free kid's project they do on the first Saturday of each month. This time it was a bird house rain gauge. Here is Andrew working with Rebecca.

Me helping Christina.
And Melissa and Luke with his final project.

We had so much fun and they all did a great job:)

Thanks Kevin and Melissa for letting us stay with you! We enjoyed spending time with you:)

On Saturday afternoon we went to Zach and Annika's for lunch and to see their remodeled basement. It looked great! Then we were off to Kathryn's 1st birthday party at Monkey Joe's. It was neat because we got our own party room and the kids could just go out and play. Here is Andrew in the birthday seat.
The ladies frosting cupcakes.
Uncle Andrew with the birthday girl!
After the kids played a while we had pizza, cupcakes, and opened gifts. Here is Kathryn digging in:)

It was a fun birthday party and we were so happy we could make it! We love you Kathryn!

A couple weekends ago we got to celebrate another niece's birthday. Kate turned 2! We all went over to Aaron and Nichole's to eat dinner and celebrate. Here is a picture of Mackenzie and I before the party.

The Musselman family... so beautiful!
Singing to Kate with her Elmo cake... she love it!
Opening gifts. It was so adorable because she would get so excited about each gift even if it wasn't a toy:)
Here she is with Uncle Brock in her new clothes (they are layered... she wanted it that way:)
Thanks for the fun birthday party Kate and your cute personality! We love you!
