Busy Week!




This week Scott is in Bemidji with a big work load, 11 tubs in 6 in days at the Best Western. So Me and Donna decided with the Brekke men out of town we would take the opportunity to do a lot of work in the basement, we are taking on painting the whole basement throughout this week! We have Scott's game room all done, which I am sure he will be very sad to see that it is now navy blue and grey rather than a pretty pink like it has been since we moved in! We also have all the ceilings done and the accent walls in the spare bedroom and living room done, only have one color to go! WOO HOO!

32 Week Appointment

Well yesterday we had our 32 week appointment, hard to believe how fast the time has flown by so far! I was a little worried because I had been having quite a bit of pelvic pain, but my doctor reassured me that my body is just stretching and getting ready for little miss skye to come into the world!

Everything looked really good at the appointment though, my measurements were right on track with how far along I am and she did a pelvic exam and confirmed that Skye is head down so we were happy to hear that as my worst fear is having a C-section... not to say that eliminates the chance of having to have one...but were still happy to hear she is in a good position.  Her heart beat was at 162 and she was moving around for the appointment a lot, I am starting to get kicks to the ribs now especially when I am trying to go to bed, she always is wide awake when I am trying to go to sleep! But I love feeling her move around, even if some movements are quite uncomfortable to me! 

Last weekend was women of Faith Conference and it was such an amazing time! I was very excited that this year my mother in law donna could join us, we had such a blast and the speakers were amazing as always. Next year we are hoping to have even a bigger group with the Brekke/Heimdal/Borowski women! Scott also took advantage of the weekend and went up bow hunting. They got stuff set up and were happy to see a few deer sniffing around! Hopefully this will be a lucky year for them!

I had a second baby shower Saturday after women of faith at Aunt Pam's and it was so much fun. A lot of people showed up to celebrate with us and it was a great end to an amazing weekend. Of course, Skye made out again with a lot of great gifts! She sure is a lucky girl and to think there is still one more baby shower left, yikes!!!! Thanks to everyone who is there sharing in our joy with us, although I love being pregnant I can't be more excited to hold my little girl!

Other Fall Happenings

This fall has been a very busy one with all the moving and getting things settled in our house, but we are loving it! Of course the most exciting things to get settled are Skye's things into her room, I love to just go in there and sit and look at all her cute stuff! I am getting very very anxious for her to be here! I have my 30 week appointment today, and am on a 2 week schedule now. Scott and I will be beginning prenatal classes this month, and I just took my glucose test which came back within the normal limits. So everything seems to be going very well! She is moving around like crazy now and I love the feeling of her kicking, except when it keeps me up for a large portion of the night! 

A few weekends ago Heather, Zac and Ty were our first official houseguests. We don't have the spare bedroom done yet in the basement, so they had to settle for the trusty air mattress! It was so much fun having them come visit, of course Scott and Zac spent most of their time in the "gaming room". Ty loved driving his boom booms all over the kitchen, and much to my pleasure, did not even attempt to play with the oven that had no door and was extremely grimey and yucky (It has since been replaced with a much nicer version) It is always a fun time when we get to see the Lewises!

Last weekend Heather threw a baby shower for me and Skye in fergus and it was so much fun, thanks again to everyone who came and everyone that helped with the shower. Heather is definitely the master party planner, it was great food, great company, great games and great gifts :) Scott had fun going through all of Skye's new goodies when I got home on Sunday and he said to tell everyone thanks as well! We are lucky to have so many amazing people in our lives!

It will continue to be busy for us with hunting season here, women of faith conference, two more baby showers, holidays and before we know it our little Skye will be here and we will wonder where in the world that nine months went! Love to all!Go Vikes!Ty Guy!YAY for being done with Kindercare...Scott and Donna bought me an ice cream cake from dairy queen to celebrate the occasion!


HOUSE PICTURES!!!!


Well it has been a long time again, and as many people have reminded me...I am a horrible blogger! I lost my camera cord somehow in the moving process so these pictures have just been sitting on my camera for quite some time now! Taking Heather's advice I went out and got a universal card reader so I can finally share all these pictures with you all!I took a lot of before and after pictures so you can kind of see the changes we made, but believe me the pictures do not show the nasty scuzziness embedded in this house before we got to cleaning and painting, I really doubt the former tenants ever had cleaned the cabinets or blinds...they were GROSS!!

At the present time it is not allowing me to move any text or pictures around because my computer is acting extremely weird so some of the are out of order, but I am sure you will get which ones are before and after!
