House Update

Hi All!

We have running water!! After today we will have heat. The garage raising party I mentioned has now been changed to November 17th. Anyone who is willing to help is more then welcome to come up help, check out our house and eat! The way things have been going it could change back to November 7th. I am aware of Deer hunting and that might affect who comes and who doesn't. It could be one or the other at this point. It will not be later then that because that would put us into December. I will post more pictures later.

House Being Moved

This is the house being lifted and put on the basement. Sorry pictures are out of order.




Our House Move

For the next update. As with construction things get frustrating and delayed. Our house is on the basement. We have electricity, a well(but no running water), septic system and all our stuff is in the house. We got some painting done which still needs to be touch up and of course we still have to paint the baby's room. As we still don't have a stairwell to the basement we can't get completely settle yet.

They are suppose to start the basement stairwell tomorrow. We will see if that gets going. There is a frame for the garge slab, but it is not poured yet. I hope the rain holds off so they can do that! We still need permanent stairs outside too.

My folks have been in Florida visiting my brother's family, so when they get back my Dad has a lot to do. He has to convert our gas to propane, so we can get our propane next week and have heat. He also has to hook up the plumbing to the upstairs so we have running water. This will be nice, because when you are pregnant and don't have running water it is not so nice. Mark built the fire pit this weekend so we can have a fire out there. Right now it looks like our garage raising party will be Saturday, November 3rd.

I am going to try to attach some pictures. As I have misplaced my camara some of the newer pictures will be added later. It looks like the house actually being put on the basement pictures will have to be a seperate post. The one picture is me picking apples from one of four apple trees on our lot. I will add more later when I get the pictures downloaded.











Baby Girl Oelke

Hi All!!

I am back!!!! I know some of you have been check back faithfully for updates and I am finally getting to it. I am now 27 weeks pregnant. Almost at the 7 month mark. I will post the ultrasound pictures for those that might not have gotten them. Baby girl was already 14 oz at 21 weeks, so she is probably a good 2 pounds now. She is moving around a lot more now and I can feel her on both sides of my stomache at the same time! Pretty cool she is getting long to. As you can see she gave us the thumbs up, showed us her foot,leg (she was upside down butt in the air for the leg one if that helps)and her profile. My Mom says she has my nose and Mark's chin! What do you guys think?
