Our Back 'yard' Project

So Josh and I have wanted to do SOMETHING to our back patio area, there was a little garden started by previous owners, but we hadn't taken care of it, and the grass kind of ended before it reached the patio and we had a nice big mud patch. Recently Josh was given some free mulch and so we thought that might help! So one day this past week I got out there by myself and tried breaking up the ground and moving around some stone and bricks… I may have slightly overworked myself and decided Josh would have to help me finish it. He did pretty much all the hard work of breaking up the ground, evening it out, digging a spot for our little pathway and spreading the mulch. Then together we cleaned up some of the weeds and overgrowth of our little garden. Needless to say, it was a nice refreshing morning and we are quite happy with our little project =)

Bradley Cheer

Joshua and I just finished our childbirth classes in the Bradley Method. This is a video of a cheer he created to motivate me during birth… 

…I have nothing else to add...

Feeling Baby Move

The very first time I felt baby move FOR SURE without a doubt in my mind: Josh was playing guitar and singing How Great Is Our God. I sat on the couch to rest and listen to him and suddenly I felt very definite flutters in my stomach. I'm pretty sure baby was dancing to his dad's music. I tried to get Josh to come and feel the baby moving but as soon as he stopped playing the baby stopped moving and wouldn't move anymore.

It's been about a week or so now, and the baby's movements have been getting stronger. Last night we were relaxing and Josh tried to feel the baby move but still hasn't caught it at the right time. Then at just the right moment the baby started kicking pretty hard and I was able to get his hand in the right spot to feel it. It was so cool to see his reaction. One excited daddy to finally feel his baby moving around for himself!
