House paint and counters

Recently our house has received inside paint and counter tops in the bathrooms and somewhat in the kitchen. They are still installing the kitchen counters. We chose charcoal cultured marble tops for the bathrooms and the kitchen has formica tops called butter rum granite. Once the flooring is in (which we are told should be in the next few weeks) the charcoal in the bathroom tops will look very nice with the tile floors that also have flakes of black and gray mixed with browns and creams. We think it will all be pulled together very nicely.

The walls are two neutral shades, navajo white and antique white for the trim. It gives it a nice warm feel to the house. It is already starting to feel more like our house.

The following pictures were taken before the paint job, but I have been slacking on posting pictures of the house. Been a little tired and preoccupied with other things lately.

Another new addition to the house is the front railing on the porch.

Kitchen counters, not really installed yet but sitting in place waiting to be attached. Formica called Butter Rum Granite.

Another kitchen counter shot. Still need to cut out the spot for the kitchen sink, which is on order right now. It has one large basin and one small basin, stainless steel of course.

Just a small update

On Thursday Feb. 12 Chris and I were able to see our TINY little baby on an ultra sound monitor (well Chris was able to see the screen better then I could) and we saw the flickering of one TINY little heart beating. Since our baby is so TINY the doctor told us that the due date would be changed from September 15 to October 5. On thursday our little one was 0.61 cm long, so tomorrow we are actually at the 7 week mark now that the doctor did some measurements. He says everything looks great and the next appointments are mainly for measuring my belly and doing sonograms of the baby. Next appointment is March 12. We do have a picture of our baby but I am not posting it cause I can hardly even see it on the print out. When we get a better one in the future we will definitly post it for all to see.

Baby Herrbach...coming September 15th 2009!!

Well most of you have been told over the phone or in person that Chris and I are expecting our 1st baby September 15th! I have my 1st full blown OB appointment Feb. 12 where we are hoping to be able to hear the baby's heart beat (or so says the nurse) and maybe have a picture to post. Probably will look more like a little blob then a baby, but its our little blob and we are so excited!!!

People keep asking if we are going to find out if it is a boy or girl....and yes we are. Neither one of us wants to wait to find out. We just don't have that kind of patience for a surprise like that!! I would like to know NOW if that was possible! :)

We have a lot to look forward to this year... moving in to our new house in May (which I won't be able to help much with), both our dads are saying they will be up to visit us, a big baby shower BBQ in August, the birth of our baby in September (hopefully my mom, step-dad and sister can make it around that time :) ) and then a trip in December to Tucson for Christmas where the rest of my side of the family will be able to meet baby Herrbach!

We are so excited to see the blessings that God has given us and that are to come this year! We are truly grateful for everything and everyone in our lives. We couldn't ask for much more. Thank you to everyone for your congratulations and well wishes for our pregnancy!

I will post more updates of Baby Herrbach when we get them. For now it is just a little nausea and anticipation for whats to come. Ha!!
