My babies heartbeat, and random pics!

So Tuesday was my 12 week appointment, and I got to listen to my babies heartbeat with the Doppler! I was so nervous because it had been a while since we had checked in on our little one. I was relieved that my OB was able to locate the heartbeat right away. Everything sounded healthy and good. The heart rate was 165. So I officially only have one week left in the first trimester, and I am SO glad to be through the most dangerous portion of the pregnancy. My OB says that chances of a miscarriage at this point have reduced to under 5%! Woohoo! Kevin had to work this appointment, so he missed out on the Doppler this time, but Autumn was with me so she got to hear the heartbeat too. It was really cool to be able to share that with her. After the appointment she gave me a hug and said "See Heather? I TOLD you everything would be alright!" lol. She is so sweet, and no doubt going to be a BIG help when baby arrives.

Okay, since I don't have any pics to add for this appointment I am going to post some random pics to "catch up" my blog instead of adding like 3 new posts in one day.

Here is Kevin playing with the new engine in his RC truck.

And more birthday pics.... I had to add these pics too because they are just so funny. We already had a X-BOX360 pro, which has served our family well since it's purchase. The problem was having enough time in the day for all of us to get to play it. Soooo, Kevin and Takoda asked for a combined birthday present this year for a X-BOX360 Elite. (Takoda's birthday blog coming soon...) After a HUGE gift card contribution from my momma (Thanks mom!) the boys' dream was finally able to come true and our new X-BOX baby was born! Here are the pics!

AND, we finally got our stimulus check. ::sigh of relief:: You all know what that means....

WE GOT OUR TV!!!!! Yay for us. Seriously, we are NOT the type of family to live with a teeny TV. Although I am quite proud of Kevin and I that we were able to hold out until we could buy it with cash. (Note that we DID serve our economy by buying an AMERICAN MADE TV. Go Vizio!)

Alright family and friends, I want you all to look at the lonely space under our TV right now. It looks like a electronics nightmare, and definitely more "bachelor pad" then I'd like BUT I can't find a TV stand under $200 that I actually LIKE. (No sharp glass edges for when my little bean arrives). I am hoping to find something wood maybe painted black. I don't know. If any of you have ideas or a TV stand your ready to part with, let me know! (Still have no idea where to store our Rock Band drums.) ::sigh::

Here is the whole wall so you can get the big picture of how badly we need a TV stand. Plus on the very right is the TV we were using that is now going to be used as a second gaming station for the family. (Yes, we're that sick lol). I am not sure how we are going to arrange all this in our little living room, but when there's a will there's a way! lol. Once we get it figured out, I will post updated pics. :)

So that's it for now. School is starting next week, and Autumn's swimming lessons end tomorrow, so I will probably have another post coming soon. Hope everyone one is well and happy! Say a prayer for our little Autumn that her first day at a new school (3rd grade) goes well! She is nervous and excited at the same time! That post is soon to come!!
