Week 15 ...and nearly complete kitchen floor

Week 15 has arrived!! Here's what's up with the 'lil orange today!

It was a great week for us as we heard the heartbeat for the first time on Thursday. We also went to Babies-r-Us on Saturday and walked through the "Road to Motherhood " Tour. It was pretty cool, they had several flat screens set up with videos on what happens each month with the baby. They also had some classes on pre-natal nutrition, exercise and such. It just so happened that one of these classes ended (and the class walked right by us) as we were watching "Month 4 - Genital Formation". Yes, as embarrasing as it was, the whole class strolled on by as we were watching how it....well you know the rest of the story.

We also sat and talked with an ultrasound technician from St. Luke's Hospital about what they look for when trying to check what the baby is (obviously since we're going to be doing this at the begining of August), so a boy is a "turtle", a shell with a head, and a girl is three bright white lines when looking in that region on the ultrasound. Whatever it is, I know we'll be overjoyed.

We saw Pirates of the Carribbean Saturday Night, don't see it. It's generally disgusting; just gross. We saw people get up and leave because they couldn't take it any more. Emmy had to turn away a few times because of the _____ (fill in the blank) (squid, octopus, bird eating a guy's eye out, Johnny Depp chowing down on a thumb, etc.) And people had like 4 year old kids in there watching this! Oh no.... I really am turning into a parent with this kind of talk.

Today we went to Church and got our first "Expectant Family" Blessing after Mass. It was special. Just keep that baby and mama healthy, Jesus. We pray.

The kitchen is ALMOST DONE!! Yeah! Grouting is 90% done, just few more square feet, the appliances are back in place and functional (whew, we were running out of crockpot recipes and fast food places!). Just a little bit more grouting, sealing and painting of the trim and this one will be in the history books! But the laundry room is waiting :(



I personally would like to thank my unbelievable wife, who over the last three weeks has taken over all the "Sunday Responsibilities" (i.e. going to the grocery, Costco, and Target) all alone while I've been working on the floors. Dear, I know how much you hate going to the grocery store, so I just want to tell you that you're my Angel and I love you lots.

Have a great week everyone!
