Home Sweet Home

So here's a few pic's of our home. I suppose they speak for themselves. Note the outdoor laundry facilities. This cracks me up. We also have a clothes line and I have discontinued the use of our dryer :) Our clothes might be a bit crunchy but the electric bill thanks us for it!

The outdoor jungle pic is actually our path from the backyard to the beach... I love this! I try to walk it (the beach not the path) every morning in hopes I'll lose pregnancy weight quicker... I doubt it but it's good for the soul! We're loving our new home, and it's most alway cool. Eric's looking forward to our trip to Maui for his b-day where he's been promised his very own birthday kayak. I would say he's spoiled, but he's just so cute! Who could resisit him? :) While we do love the house, we're not the only ones living in it. We also house ants, cockroaches, small and very large spiders (the one in the pic is about two fist sized),

and a cute gecko. Who knows what else! We've quickly befriended the Raid can. :) Hope the baby doesn't mind bugs!

On a baby note it is now kicking! Has been for about a week or two, and Eric got to feel it for the first time 2 days ago. So cute to see his reaction at being a Papa. Also, I have my first Dr's appt. in Hawaii (my second total.. does this make me a bad mom already?) next Tues. We're hoping to get in with the women's clinic soon after this and hopefully find out if we'll have a boy or girl?

Hm... should we tell you?! :) Those who are counting, or not, we're 19 weeks this week. We're just doin the same old thing. I'm LOVING having time to plan menus and cook... I think Eric's lovin this too. We're trying to pick 3 new recipes a week and get the ingredients to mix things up a bit.. we'll see how long it lasts. We've been hanging out a lot with the married couples (all 2 of them) and just enjoying a very slow-paced life.

Is this a big enough post? Ok.. til next week!

Love E&M

P.S. We are loving all of our baby stuff! Especially the crib.. too cute! Thank-yous hopefully to follow soon :)
