Introducing! Baby Caffee!


Yesterday was the big mid-pregnancy sonogram and I am happy to report that everything looks PERFECT! My doctor warned me at my last visit that they would be running a few extra tests and taking extra measurements so that I wouldn't be alarmed, and boy did they take their sweet time! I didn't think I was ever going to get a peek at this baby! But all of the measurements and tests turned out great and even showed that our little one is a few days ahead of schedule, so good news was worth the wait. This little Caffee was curled up in a ball about as low as he or she could get and refused to budge! The sonographer said that the picture above was the best she could do for a profile shot since baby was being so stubborn. I thought it was pretty cute that the baby was so stubborn! Maybe this baby will be so stubborn that he or she will stay put until 37 weeks or so, that would be nice.

We took the kids with us (including my Mary) and they just loved it! They seemed to get excited all over again. After we were home they watched the video over and over and guessed at what "kind" of baby it is. Molly and Tim think it's a boy and Maddie and Mary say it's a girl. We have never found out what we were having before, but this is the first pregnancy that I have no gut feeling AT ALL about what the baby is. I think this little one will be my first surprise! I LOVE surprises, and this pregnancy has been one big surprise from the very beginning!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
