Many people have been asking me to put up "belly pictures". Some of you were able to be pregnant in the summer so you had nice tan bellies...I on the other hand am pregnant in the fall/winter, so my belly is anything but tan. You will not be seeing bare belly pictures of me online. However, here is a picture of me today....17 1/2 weeks. We go to the doctor again next week, so hopefully we get another great report! Our ultrasound is only 2 1/2 weeks away...we can't wait to see our little peanut again! Last time it didn't look like a baby, so this time it will be much more fun!
On the upside things have been going great- I'm feeling great (besides having a cold, that i have a feeling with be with me throughout the winter), and i'm not as tired either.
Jake has begun on the upstairs again, a few months of hard work and it should be ready for the baby. :) It will be fun to be able to set up the crib and put all the little baby things up there (not that i have anything yet...but hey we have lots of time).

Baby W.

Well we went in for another appt. today- i am ending my 14th week.
Everything looks good in there...the heartbeat is down to 156 and everything else is fine. I don't have alot of new information to share! We will get to have another ultrasound in 6 weeks...we are still undecided as to whether or not we will find out what we are having. Jake wants to, but I've always said i want it to be a surprise. We'll see...it might be a spur of the moment decision. I'm not sure i'll be able to pass that information up, if i know it is sitting right there in front of me!!!

Great News....

Jake's dad got his biopsy results back yesterday. The doctor said that what he has is a very rare tumor. It is not cancerous, and because it is so small and not impacting him in any way, they are just going to monitor it. So, at this time there is no surgery, chemo, radiation, etc... They will still be going to U of M Thursday to talk with some doctors there. Thank you for your prayers!

Wecome to the world!

Ella Jeanne Koning is FINALLY here. Jill is probably more relieved than anyone. He doctor had been telling her all along that she would go early (like a few weeks early), and then low and behold she is actually 4 days late.
We went to visit last night....Ella is a cutie, it's so much fun having a little baby around again! I don't have too many pictures, but i will get more this weekend after they get home. Jake is actually up north hunting this weekend, so he hasn't been able to meet her yet...i guess that just means we'll have to go visit her again very soon!:)
