A Big Announcement!

We have been keeping a secret for awhile....

We have known since I was 4 weeks so keeping this a secret was QUITE the struggle for us! We told all of our family and friends at Thanksgiving. I, of course, couldn't keep it from my parents, grandparents, and siblings, so they have known for awhile. They would have guessed it way before now even if we hadn't told them...mainly because I wasn't chugging down the diet coke like I usually do. :S

So we are beyond excited to finally be adding another addition to our little family. After the last pregnancy resulting in a miscarriage, we are just so thankful that this pregnancy is healthy and going well! 

As for how I have been feeling....well.....eh.

I haven't thrown up but a couple of times, but have definitely have had way more nausea than I did with Lexi Belle. 

We went to the doctor about 9 weeks and got to see the baby briefly on the ultrasound. Everything looked great and we go back in January. :)

As of today I am 11 weeks. I will start the bump pics next week. I totally feel like I already have a little bump. :) 

More House Progress

Can you say MIA? Yeah- we have been kind of nuts lately and I have totally abandoned this 'ol bloggity blog. SO, just to do a little catch up on the house. We are definitely making progress! Here are a few pics of where we are right now.

Every day we see so much progression and I get more excited by the minute! AH! Finally we will have our finished home. I absolutely cannot wait!

Halloween 2013

This year we had a beautiful Cinderella for Halloween. Lexi LOVED her costume and didn't want to take it off! We thought she was just about the cutest thing ever...naturally :) 

Hollinsworth House Project: Part 1- Dirt Work and Footings

We have FINALLY started the building project! You don't know how excited we are for this. We have waited and waited and not it is time to start!

Robert started with doing the dirt work and leveling off where the new addition is going to go.

Then the concrete crew came and poured the footings.

After a long days work, the concrete had to cure for a couple of days...

Now we are waiting on them to come back and pour the walls! It is so exciting to finally see progress, but I can tell it is going to be a waiting game.

More to come later!

Big Cedar Trip Part 2
