Baby Gender

So, for those of you who haven't yet heard, I am having a boy! I am a little nervous about it since I have 3 sisters and am much more comfortable with girl children, but it is exciting. This time the pregnancy is going really fast. Here is my belly today at 23 weeks and 3 days. It doesn't look so big in this picture, but I feel huge!

Home addition and repairs

Since Matt and I had some damage due to the tree through our house, we decided to change our renovation plans. We are adding a master bedroom, renovating the small bathroom and adding a exercise/sunroom/dogroom to the back of the house. Once that is done, we will focus on landscaping. Here is the progress so far. You can see the difference in the roof tiles, but we were just happy to have a non-leaking roof finally. There was a week or two where we had some minor flooding.
