Kayak

Last weekend we decided to take a Kayak trip down the Ogeechee River. We went with a couple that we hang out with and their daughter. It was about 7 miles and took about 5 hours. The first 5 miles were alot of fun. There was a current so you barely had to paddle. We would stop every so often on sandbars and swim and eat. It was alot of fun. Then the last two miles were bad. There was no current at all. We had to paddle a ton. I wasn't used to working out. I have gotten very lazy. It was really pretty though. But we both learned a lesson in sun tan lotion. REAPPLY! I ended up with sun poisoning on my feet and ankles. I couldn't walk for two days. It was horrible. It looked like I had diabetes. I didn't have ankles for almost 5 days. I had sun burns before but nothing like this. My feet are just now getting their normal color back. But we have been working a ton and Chris has been doing alot around the house so the trip was a good break.

Painting

The one thing we have to do to the interior is paint all the rooms. The people that lived here were nail crazy. There were nails everywhere and they used anchors that were huge. So we had to do a day of just pulling nails and patching holes. I also took down the border in the living room and dining room. Chris painted the living, dining, and kitchen and we both loved how it turned out. Now when we get time we have to paint the spare bedrooms and master bath. Then buy new appliances for the kitchen and new hardware for the cabinets and we will pretty much be done with the interior. Other then getting new blinds but that is a want not a need. We both have alot of wants but I am sure everyone knows how that goes. One of the best things is that there are two porch swings. I have always wanted a porch swing. I like to go sit out there. It is peaceful. We are just really happy right now. Things are falling into place nicely.

New House

Here are some pictures of the new house. We love it. It has some minor cosmetic things that we need to do but we can probably get most of them done in the next month. It is still kind of a mess inside the house because we just moved in and then went back to NE and Chris hasn't had a day of since we got back. It is really hot down here so I am limited on what I can do outside. So as soon as we get the spare bedrooms painted I will go to town putting things away and decorating. I can't wait.

More ultrasound pictures

3d Picture

Stubborn already!

They did the 3d pictures but I think they are kind of creepy. He is still really skinny so it looks weird to me. I prefer the regular black and white. He is already stubborn. He had his hand in front of his face and didn't want to move it so the lady keep pushing on him and that must have upset him because he rolled over and gave us his backside and didn't want to roll back. I started feeling him move on the ride home from the airport on Tuesday. I thought it was him but couldn't decide. Then when we went to the Dr I thought I felt him again and when she did the ultrasound he was kicking right where I felt it. Which lucky for me is on my bladder. Everything looked really good and he appears healthy so far. Although I now know why you shouldn't lay on your back for long periods of time. I have never been sick until we were doing the ultrasound. Because he was being stubborn and it was taking so long I almost blacked out. It came on fast I just started sweating and thought I was going to get sick. We had to get me up and get some water. I felt better after a couple minutes but it scared me. The Dr and ultrasound tech said the pressure of the baby and her pushing on me puts pressure on your aorta. But all was good after a couple minutes. We are just really excited. Chris couldn't even wait to leave the room before he started text messaging people.

It's a boy!!!

This is Kane Anson Haar. This picture is right between his legs. The legs are on the sides and his little package right in the middle.

Baby Update

We had out monthly appointment on Wed and so far everything is good. Baby had a good heartbeat and Dr said everything felt good in my belly. We also went and looked at day cares. That is kind of scary. The first one we went to we didn't like at all. We left and were like oh my gosh. We went to one up the road a bit and loved it right away. Didn't even need to look any further. It was awesome. Cost was a bit more but well worth it. It was more then I could have ever wished for. We are on the list so I hope and pray we get in. We scheduled our next appointment for May 23rd. We are going to find out the sex of the baby then. I can't wait.

Don't know if boy or girl yet

Although it does look like a little boy we don't know what the baby is yet. That is just part of the cord in the picture. Unfortunately we still have to wait about 6 weeks to find out what the sex is. We are hoping to know before we come home in May but might not because of the date of our ultrasound.

12 Week Ultrasound

Well the baby has all it's parts. You could see the little fingers. We thought it was a fist at first but when you looked close it was just the tiny fingers. Everything looks good so far. I don't know how well you will be able to see these pictures.

12 Week Ultrasound Waving At Us

12 Week Ultrasound

Little one update

We had our 12 week appointment on Thursday. They couldn't find the heartbeat so we did an ultrasound. You can see it's little head now. It is actually starting to look like something. You can see the cord also. Only 6 more weeks and we will finally know what we are having. We are dying to know. But so far everything with the baby looks good.

The mounds of dirt are about 10-15 ft wide. Those are roots of trees pulled out of the ground. There was alot of damage to peoples houses but I didn't want to take pictures of those. I feel sorry for some of them they got hit hard. There was a cool story though about two Jack Russell's getting sucked up but they were found the next day a mile away with no injuries. Tornado's do some weird things.
Golf ball hail fell. Both of our cars have damage. We are going today to get an insurance estimate and check for Chris' truck.

It seemed to follow the electric towers. There were about 10 destroyed like this that I saw.

Here are a couple pictures of the storm damage
