House Update 2/18/2013

Nate and I make a weekly trip to our house to see the progress. Nate's siblings make fun of us but it is really exciting for us to see the changes being made and letting us know we are one step closer to having a place to call ours. Since I last updated alot has changed.......

Drywall is up prepping for paint

Paint is done although not up to my dad's opinion (he is a professional painter).

Tile installed

Cabinets installed

Doors Installed

Lights installed

Our tubs and shower are installed

Railing Installed

Our Countertops were installed today. I went there to take a picture of the outside and the countertops were being installed.It was a nice surprise since I didn't think they would be until later this week.

The beginnings of the exterior is started, they should be done with the stucco this week and start on the rock by the end of the week.

After that we have the finish work, carpet and hardwood floors to be installed, and pouring our driveway (this may be tricky as they need 72 hours straight of no moisture to make sure the cement dries correctly. If not we will end up with cracks or they will delay our closing date.)

Our estimated close date is March 18th so a month from today. Lets hope that is the date we get to move in.

Until the next update on our house........

Baby Update

The last time I posted I announced it was a girl well I am glad to tell you that it is still a girl we had our 19 week ultrasound to check everything out and she looks great. It is crazy with how little she is right now that they can tell so much with an ultrasound. We were able to see her heart, her brain, her face, hands, and legs it just blows my mind. During the ultrasound Nate and I were both speechless. Having a baby is truly a miracle how everything has its time and place. I already love this baby so much! As I said in a previous post 3 of my sister-in-laws are having babies this year as well as me. The first one is due to arrive in 2 weeks I can't believe how fast it has come. From here on out for the next 5 months we will have a new baby every 6 weeks so it is about to get even crazier in the Goodfellow House.......

19 Weeks

We are having a.......

So I finally convinced Nate to go to Fetal Studio to find out what we are having. It took some convincing but once he agreed to it he wanted to go that second. We went on Saturday January 12th, 2013 to find out. Our appointment was at 11:30 AM and I haven't seen Nate more anxious then when we were waiting, he couldn't sit still he kept getting up from the couch and walking around I told him to relax and he said," I just want to know so bad now."

Once it was our turn Nate walked back there so fast he was ready. The doctor spoke Russian and so they spoke it for a bit but after that Nate wanted to get down to business and find out what we were having. The doctor was showing us the baby and how it was very active it wouldn't hold still, sucking its thumb, opening its mouth, kicking and moving its arms and legs. It is crazy that it is so active yet I have no idea because I haven't felt it move yet.

 Here is a picture of the baby at 14 weeks

After a few more pictures he said our you ready to find out what you are having? Umm yes this is what we came here for. I asked him how positive he was and he said 300%!

So we are having a GIRL!!!! The Goodfellow Streak continues we will have 4 new baby girls in 2013 due March, April, May, and July. Nate and I are both really excited! It is nice to know what "IT" is now we can call "IT" a HER. Now I get to think about how I want to decorate her nursery.

After we found out what we were having we bought her first dress.

We didn't tell anyone we were going because we wanted it to be a surprise that we were finding out. So we took the dress to my Mom's house and I asked here what she thought about it. She got a smirk on her face and said, " Are you trying to tell me something? Are you having a girl?" I said, "Yes we went to Fetal Studios to find out. She is really excited for us. After that we went to tell Nate's Mom we did the same thing. After we told our mom's we called all of our siblings to let them know. Now the months just need to fly by so that we can meet all these girls.

                       
 I am sure you are wanting a updated picture of my belly. Here I am at 14 weeks I will continue to post pictures as I am sure in the next few weeks it is really going to pop out.

Our Next Big Adventure

                                                             We Are Having a Baby!!!!!

Did you hear that Kim Kardashian and I are going to be having babies at the same time? It is crazy how viral everything has become no one ever calls and tells people about the good news just leave it to Instagram and/or Facebook. I am 14 weeks this week with an estimated due date of July 11, 2013 7/11 how cool would that be? Slurpees all around.......We had our second appointment today and got to hear the heartbeat! It was reassuring to hear that so I know he/she is doing alright our doctor said that the heartbeat is strong.

 I am really anxious and want to go to Fetal Foto but Nate is convinced that we can wait 5 1/2 more weeks so we will find out 2/15 what we are having. The funny thing is my doctor brought it up a few times saying, "You know you don't have to wait until your next appointment to find out what you are having? Just go to Fetal Foto they can tell you now." It was as if he read my mind. I just want to know what this baby is that has made the past 14 weeks very interesting.

I swear I have caught every cold that is going around. I am ready to start feeling well again with energy to actually want to go out and do things. Nate has been so patient with me always being tired or throwing up man this part of pregnancy really sucks. He checks on me to see if I need anything since the first thing I do when I get home from work is lay down in bed.  It is sweet to see how excited he gets when I tell him what size our baby is this week or what is developing on our baby. It still blows my mind how it all works out.

New House

Our Lot

Nate and I decided to build a house in West Jordan. The first 3 months really were dragging on it didn't seem like anything was happening and then right before Thanksgiving we drove past our lot and we had a hole dug!

 Foundation

Framing

Roof On

We went and checked it out on Sunday and we have windows and shingles on (I forgot my phone so I didn't take a picture). The electric stuff will go in this week and once that is completed we will do a walk through once that is complete they will start the drywall. Our sales guy said that once drywall goes up it is 2 months from then. We should be in hopefully by the end of March. The entire time we have been married we have lived in basement apartments and now Nate's Parents house so we are definately ready to be on our own. Can it be March yet?

This is what the finished product will look like.....
