1st Trimester SUCKS!

Sorry to all those who have been looking for new NEWS! I have been sicker then a dog in the 1st trimester and pretty much go to bed as soon as I return from work. I am 14 weeks now and starting to feel better day by day! Thank god! We are still working on the construction loan and may be faced with not being able to build the house this year! We should find out this week! If we can't we will stay where we are at and hope that the housing and construction market improves in the area. I don't have any ultrasound pics! Our scanner is not working. I will post ASAP! P.S. We are not finding out the sex of the baby! It will be a surprise!

The house project is coming along... We are in final design and engineering etc...The problem is the currently loan market is not good as alot of you know. We may have to buy the land and wait on the house for a year or two, but we are still hoping everything is a go! It is difficult with Todd being self employed! I will keep you all posted. Keep youf fingers crossed because we need to a bigger house. We decided to add another member to the family, Yes we are PREGNANT!!! Due in september. We are very excited! So needless to day we have figured out what to do with one of the other bedrooms upstairs!!
