get to find out the gender as soon as we thought.. The lady I know only works Thursday's and she wants me to come this coming Thursday because she is not going to be there the Thursday after next. I'm not sure what to do. I will have to miss school to find out, so I have to find out if I have any tests or anything on those days before I can go. We'll see. I'm hoping to wait until 17 weeks.. not 15 weeks. We'll see though. I guess I'll just have to call her back and see how it works out. If I can go at 17 weeks I will be finding out the sex 3 weeks from today though!!
Also, we went and had my air conditioner and tail light looked at today. He got them both working and only charged us $22! He says I may have a freeon leak though, so we will have to watch it, and call him if the air stops working again. If I do have a freeon leak he is going to put some stop leak stuff in there, and see how that works. But anyways.. I have a completely working car for now :) The air is really cold too! I had it on the lowest setting and I was still freezing lol. No burning up for my babies.
I have gotten almost everything on my list done.. The house will be completely finished by Sunday for sure. We got my car fixed for cheap! We took Grace out on not one, but two family outings. I kept up with my school work and will have it all finished by the weekend. I called all the places I needed to call to change our address.
There is only one other thing we need to do before I go back and that is shave Ollie, but that will have to wait until Saturday because I have a doctor's appointment and I have to work tomorrow.
Wish us luck that this will work out for the ultrasound. If it doesn't I am thinking it will only be one week longer til we can find out, so it's not a huge deal, but it's still another anxious week lol.

I am accomplishing my goal :)
I have gotten the house almost completely finished. The bathroom, our room, the baby's room, and the livingroom are all completely done. The only thing I have left in Grace's room is to paint her E that I accidentally broke. The kitchen is my biggest challenge, but it is almost complete as well. I only have two boxed that are not unpacked and one of those will be done tonight (possibly both). We do have a few things that we have to get out of here though.. a few things going to my mom's, and then we have to take our Christmas stuff (tree and decorations), huge TV box, and table to Chris' mom to store them. We don't have room for them here. I really wish we had room for our table, but we never used it before so it's not a big deal. I just want a table for when the kids get older, so we are going to store it in her attic until we want it again.
We also have a huge pile of broken down boxes on our porch that we have no idea what we are going to do with lol. I guess we are going to have to throw as many away as possible each week when the trash gets picked up.
I am confident in saying that our home will be completely finished by the time I go back to school.
Here are some pics of our room and the livingroom.
Grace is still in our room unfortunately.. we are making some progress there
Our dresser/ Chris computer desk lol.
We moved the bookshelf to our room because Grace loved to pull every book off of it.
Grace is dancing to Barney lol. But this pic shows a lot of the picture frames and stuff. Ohh and that thing with the lock on it has all of our DVD's in it.. keeping Grace out of that too lol.
Just a little bit more of the living room.
This is Grace's version of helping me unpack.. taking out all of the leftover wrapping and packing herself in LOL. She is so silly.

What a great day!
This was my little mini vacation since we can't afford a real one. We took Grace to the Creative Discovery Museum. We got there around 12:15, and stayed until about 2:45. She really loved it! I feel bad because one of my friends was wanting us to all go together, but I really wanted this to just be our family. I still feel bad about it though. Anyway.. Grace seemed a lot more interested this time. She was into everything, and did not stay in her stroller at all. She walked around the whole place.
After that we walked to TGI Fridays. You don't drive downtown.. You have to pay to park, so we weren't about to pay again. We just put Grace in her stroller and walked over there. Normally we don't go to restaurants anymore because Grace is a nightmare.. She wants to get up the whole time, but Grace was so warn out that I rocked her to sleep before the food came. I laid her in her stroller and Chris and I got to eat and talk. It was really nice.. like a date sort of. Since she was still asleep when we got done we decided to walk to the other side of downtown to Coolidge Park. You have to cross the Tennessee River to get there. We were about half way across the bridge when Grace woke up. She was a little disoriented because of all the loud cars whizzing by, but she stayed in her stroller. She stayed in until we actually got into the park. Then we let her out to walk around. She LOVED having free roam of the park. We took her to the place we call "our spot" in the park. Chris and I used to basically live in Coolidge Park. It was the first place we went on a date, and we have a spot we used to go sit and talk about anything and everything. It's right next to the water. Chris gave Grace some rocks and they were throwing them in the water.
After that we took Grace for a ride on the carousel. She liked it last time, but she was kind of scared of it this time. It was going really fast, and the operator said he had it turned up as fast as it would go (which I'm not really sure why he did because besides Grace there was only one other kid, and it was about Grace's age too.. not really looking for a fast ride).
Then we walked back across another bridge that is actually only for walking or bike riding. No cars allowed. On the bridge there were these two girls and they had this massive dog! It was Malimute.. very pretty though! And so sweet. Grace LOVES dogs, and it was letting her pet it and feed it. We used to have a Husky before Grace was born. Chris rescued it and gave it to me, but it either ran away or my ex-step-dad did away with it. We really think it was my ex-step-dad though. Notice I said EX.. I really can't stand him, and now neither can my mom. She was such a good dog though. Her name was Chanel, and she was so beautiful and prissy. She would lay down and cross her paws every time.. anyway I am getting off topic lol.
We just got home a few minutes ago, and I couldn't wait to post. Now for pictures :)
She threw a fit when she had to get out of this car.
She loved putting the magnets on the wall.
She was dressed up in scrubs :p
They were doing the lighting for the "play"
She likes to color now.
Chris made this for her :)
This is the view from the tower.
I thought this garden was adorable!
She loved the hula hoop.
We were swinging and she was saying, 'weee, weeee, weeee!" Lol.
She loved making bubbles! She also said "bubble" for the first time!
We were digging for dinosaurs :)
I think this is always going to be her favorite part.
We must have went down this slide ten times.
Sleeping after TGI Friday's.
Sitting in Coolidge Park
This is "our spot"
On the carousel.. she was on an animal, but she wanted off because she was scared so we sat down.. that is the operator sitting behind us lol.
