16-18 weeks prego!! Foundation complete and Framing underway!!

September 26th- the foundation started!! The block and masonry went up pretty quick, and with the exception of a couple of little things, they were finished the same week. Our lot slopes a bit, and the foundation is quite tall in the back. So, we were pleased that they completed the bricking in a week. :)

On to the pics:

Foundation complete!

Bricking almost complete!


Tuesday, October 4th, the floor framing started. That took a couple of days to complete. The remainder of the week, they laid out a lot of the walls and most of the exterior walls went up!! We can now see it coming together. For the longest time we talked and talked about it...then we looked at it on paper...and now it is becoming a reality...it is just crazy!!

Floor framing complete :)

We have walls!!

Yay!!

The day the walls went up, Will and I were walking around the inside, and I asked him to pinch me. I sometimes feel like all of this is too good to be true. The beginning of this year was so incredibly difficult...filled with so much heartache, and doubt, and pain. Now, here we are, seven months later, with a perfect, healthy little boy kicking inside me, giving us so much hope for the future. And as if that wasn't enough, now we get to create a home for the three of us. It is unimaginable the blessings God has given us.


Speaking of baby.... :) :)

At about 17 weeks, Jaynah Ruth and Andrew came for a visit. This is probably the last time I'll see her before Baby James makes his arrival in a few weeks...So, a belly shot was a must. (but we won't talk about how my belly looks as big as the one giving birth next month... ha!)

18 weeks at my parent's house!!

The little guy seems to be doing great. At about 16 weeks, I started feeling him move everyday. It amazes me every time I feel him. His kicks are getting a lot stronger. Will got to feel him for the first time the other day. And now, I can see my belly jump when he kicks hard. I know, I'll probably be in pain from this later on...but for now...it never gets old and I love every second. ;)





To think that 13 weeks ago...they said I was going to lose you...





God is good...Praying everything continues to go well with our little miracle baby...
