Random Bits

First there was the happy couple, two
They went to the temple and said, "I do"
Next came Emmett, number three
And happier we couldn't be
Now we have an announcement once more
We are happily expecting family member number four!

Baby Girl Cress, due late March, 2013

I am 20 weeks along now; things are going great.  I was SUPER tired between weeks 6-12 or so, but I'm back to having energy and feeling great.  I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and we got a CLEAR view that this little one will be a girl.  I'm super excited to be able to do all the fun girly stuff now.  =)  Just like with Emmett, we will probably wait to decide on an official name until after she is born.  My official due date is March 22nd, but we'll see when this little miss decides to make her entrance. 

This little one has been super wiggly the past few days; I think she moves more than Emmett did at this stage.  I'm definitely looking forward to meeting her.

In other news, we picked up a crib for cheap on Craigslist that I refinished (we found a stain that was really close to the original color, so I just stained over the finish and then put a couple coats of polyurethane on it.)

 Here's the beginning picture: notice the super scratched arms and top rail?

The finished product!  Even though it's not perfect, I'm proud of how it turned out.

Just this morning I found that Emmett has been chewing on the arms and top rail.  Needless to say, I was pretty irritated since I'd spent 4 long days to get it looking nice again.  Tomorrow I will be getting supplies to prevent any more damage happening to them.  *sigh*  Silly little man.  But I guess I can't really blame him all that much; when he's standing up, they ARE right at mouth height.

Well, that's about it for us right now; I'll do the usual Emmett-centered post next week and talk about Halloween and such.  Hope you all are doing well!
