Joshua Matthew - His first pictures

Tomorrow we will be 25 weeks along (only 15 more to go but who's counting?). I can honestly say this has been the best 25 weeks of my life! Yes I was sick for a good portion of the first trimester but they always say the sicker you are the healthier the baby will be! I wouldn't change any of this for the world.

Here are a few of his first pictures :) at just 19 weeks 6 days old.

In this first one he is sucking his little thumb! This I think was my favorite picture :)

In this one you can see his little heart and almost all his little features :)

those are the best two we have of him! Can't wait till we can get some live shots to share! He will be here before we know it and we can't wait.

The house is ours!!!

We closed on the house Friday at 3pm and by 430 the house was ours! We began moving stuff in right away as we had the Dish Network installer coming Saturday morning (or so we thought). We with the help of friends and family got all the TVs to the house on Friday night and got the Flat Screen mounted to the wall. We also managed to get all the bedroom carpets steam cleaned. We went back to Rick's parents house at around 8 to get our rest since we had to be back at the house bright and early for the TV guy.

Saturday morning rolled around (way to quick if you ask me) after I woke myself up I jumped in the car and ran to Dunkin Donuts to get some munchies for the morning and of course some hot cocoa for me. I returned to Rick's parents house and we hopped back into the car and made our way to our new home.

Upon arrival Rick shoveled out the front walkway since that was the ONLY way we were getting the furniture in the house and I started vacuuming the living room and taping off the kitchen to get painted. Our help for the day began arriving around 10 and once the men were all ready we sent them on their merry way to go and get the furniture and other things they could grab so we could start unpacking. I stayed behind because we were still waiting for the TV guy.

I get a phone call around 11 from the TV guy letting me know he is in Lewiston...Um hello you are technically supposed to be here within the next hour to install my TV...You are lucky I am not a cranky person and putting up a fight. He showed up at around 1230 and began the VERY long installation process. I began unpacking what I could without getting in the way (not much could be done though).

Once the TV guy finished up (around 430) we did a few last minute things and headed back to Rick's parents house for dinner and a nap...Rick and I slept from 6pm till 9 I thought I would never get back to sleep but as soon as I got back down to our room from a quick trip upstairs for a snack I was out till 7 Sunday morning!

Not a whole lot was done on Sunday, Sherri finished painting the kitchen and I put away some kitchen stuff. We left at about 1 to go back to Rick's parents house for some much needed R&R.

I got some before pictures of the other rooms and will get them up soon.
