It's a BOY!

So as you know Aleisha is pregnant. She is 18 weeks as of yesterday, due on the 30th of October. Today we were scheduled to have an ultrasound. This time around I told Aleisha that it was up to her whether or not we found out what we are having, since I pretty much got to decide last time. Well she had to know, of course!

So not too long into the ultrasound today the nurse says "Well that is pretty definitive, it's a boy!" We were not expecting her to tell us so soon since they were doing a lot of measuring and taking pictures to verify that everything was looking good. So we both looked up and saw that it was pretty obvious.

We are both very excited and Haley is too. She has been changing her mind everyday as to whether she wanted a brother or sister, but last week she assured mommy that it was a boy and the past few days she has wanted a brother. She likes to get to listen to his "choo choo" (heartbeat) when we go to the doctor.

We will most likely use the name we decided back when Haley was born, Colby Reed. And good thing we kept all those baby clothes! Time to start clearing out that part of the attic, haha!

I will try and scan some of the pictures from today later and post them tonight.

Here are the pictures.

The Whole Family is Sick.

This week has not been fun. The whole family is sick. Haley has an ear infection and horrible cough. She is on medication and is doing breathing treatments again. She doesn't seem to care though. She plays all day anyway. Kids!

Aleisha has had a horrible cough for several weeks now. It went away for a short time, but is back. Her visit to the doctor hasn't helped much, nor has mine. I feel like I am in an airplane and my ears won't pop. Tomorrow marks 5 straight days of this crap! I am ready for it to take off without me.

On a better note we got our desk put up and the computer set up so updates should come a little more frequently now. I should also have some new pictures up soon.

See ya next time.

Hello! Anybody Home?

Yes, we are alive.

I know it has been awile since we posted, but things have been rather chaotic around the Dawson household lately. Between moving, redoing Brian's kitchen, and Aleisha being pregnant it has been hard to really do any extra things like updating a blog!

But I plan to try and keep up with it a little better from here on out.

Moving

We moved! On Thursday March 20 we closed on our new house. We are excited, but there is so much to do still. We have unpacked just about everything and now we are just trying to organize things a little better. We have several projects that will need to be completed over the next several months so stayed tuned for any updates. If you haven't seen the pictures they are here.

Aleisha is Pregnant

Hopefully the forth time is the charm. She miscarried 3 times last year but so far so good with this one. She did have to take some hormone treatments and she was not fond of those at all, but now she is free from that burden. We have an appointment today and plan to take Haley so she can see the baby for the first time on the screen instead of pictures. Aleisha is around 16 weeks right now so we have about 1 month to determine if we will find out the sex of the baby.

We hope everyone is doing well.

Now to see if I can post again before 3 months are up!
