April's New Car

April's old car has been doing a lot of weird things lately. Over the last couple years she's had like 3 tire blow outs, buttons falling off the dash, tail and headlights going out, stereo problems, and a long list of other embarrassing issues. And we just couldn't bear the thought of this thing breaking down once the baby is here. So we took advantage of the horrible economy and bought April a NEW CAR!! This really is the bese time in history to buy a new car. It's still expensive, but it's worth it to make sure mama and our little Ansley are always safe on those Louisiana highways!

Baby Room Progress

No pictures yet, but the baby room is really starting to come together. I've got most of the paint done on 3 out of the 4 walls. And a lot of the wallpaper border up too. I'll post some pics and probably a video once I get the whole room done. I moved all the furniture up against one of the walls so I could do the 3 others. Once these walls are done, I'll have to move the furniture back and start all over again on the 4th wall. But it will go MUCH faster now that I know what I'm doing. :)

22 Weeks... (Actually 28)

Well, if you're following this blog, I'm sorry I haven't updated it in a while.
I think it's been a couple months. We will be at 28 weeks on Monday and not much has changed, except that April is really starting to show! We'll have some tummy pictures soon. And April can really feel Ansley moving and kicking now.
Here are the last good ultrasound pics we got. At 22 weeks you can really see what little Ansley looks like. It's so awesome to see that little baby in mama's belly! I can't wait to see her in person!

Getting Ready For the Baby

We're still 5 months away from welcoming our first baby into our home. But we're so excited! This week, we have been getting the baby room ready. We've already got the crib, dresser, changing table, and hutch. We have ordered the play pen and stroller and are waiting for those to come in the mail. April cleaned out little Ansley's closet the other day and started hanging up her little clothes. So cute!



We have also decided on how to paint Ansley's room! We're going to use a couple different shades of pink with some wall paper border going around the room in the middle. Here's a little Photoshop mock-up of what one wall should look like when we're done.

Christmas at Our Home - 2008

17 Weeks

It's gonna be a GIRL!!
April is at 17 weeks now and it looks like we finally found out the gender.
Her name is going to be Ansley Logan Wells.
We are very excited. Now we know what color clothes and baby stuff to get. I hope the ultrasound tech was right!?!? Take a look at the ultrasound pictures below and see for yourself.

(uh, the little white thing in the first picture is a mouse pointer)

13 Weeks

April is at 13 weeks now. So we're now into the 2nd Trimester. We went in for another appointment the other day and got some new ultrasound photos. It was amazing seeing that baby move around and hearing the heart beat again. We even heard the baby kick!
