Update on House!

More work has been done on our new house, they are moving quickly and working dilligently because of the nice weather we have been blessed with. I love watching all the progress being made. Here are some updated pictures for you to see:

Cheese! Our first picture together at our new property. :)

Here is a picture of the concrete poured for our 3 car garage and the exterior walls framed in :)

A picture of the house from the backyard. On the far right-hand side, is our covered patio and we still have extra concrete included in our budget. We can't decide where to pour the rest of it!

That's all for now, we will see what the builders accomplish this coming week!

House Work!

The title implies that there is some sort of cleaning going on, but that's not the case! Here are some of the latest pictures of the building of our house in Stevens Point. We are so excited and it is progressing quite quickly because of the nice weather. I can't wait until they have the 1st floor in and then start putting up the walls!

I'm excited because they are already putting in the floor supports for the basement!

The hole is dug and ready for building!

Here they have already started to put the block up for the basement!!!

I can't wait unti we are in our new house and we can unpack all of our things. However, I can't complain because I have dinner cooked for me every night by my mother-in-law. :)

Ultrasound picture!

I have had 3 ultrasounds so far. The 1st one was to date the pregnancy and the other 2 were to follow up on a subchorianic hematoma, which is basically a blood blister that forms on the uterine wall between where the placenta develops. It was only 1 cm and it is now gone, but the doctor said that they are very common and most pregnant women don't know that they have them. It was very great to get to see how the baby develops early on, especially the last 2 ultrasounds (1 at 7 weeks, 3 days and another at 11weeks), because we got to see the heart beating.

Also, I had my 12 week appointment and the doctor put the doppler on my tummy and the baby has a heartbeat of 164bpm. He said that everything appears right on track and that things are looking good! Woo hoo! Here is the 11 week ultrasound picture:

We are so excited to become parents! We can't wait to find out what we are having!

We're Pregnant!!!!

For those that do not know yet, Steve and I are expecting our first baby! We are incredibly excited and can't wait to meet this new little person. It came as quite of a shock how soon it happened, but that's life right?

Currently, I will be starting into my 2nd trimester this week and baby Rychter's expected arrival date is May19th, 2010. So far no icky throwing up, which has been a good thing, but there has been nausea, fatigue, and a chicken soup aversion! We will be finding out if it is a girl or boy in December; I can't wait! I will be posting our 1st ultrasound pics soon hopefully, once I figure out the in-laws scanner. Did I mention we moved in with my in-laws while we are......

Building a new house in Stevens Point! We decided we loved the house so much in Reedsburg and were so sad to see it sold that we would build a replica of it here. The digging of the basement has begun and the foundation will soon be laid. Can't wait to post pics of that as well. I guess that's all the news for now, stay tuned for updated pictures, etc.! :)
