Holy cow we own baby things!

Up until this past weekend we haven't done much shopping for our baby girl. We've only purchase a few outfits and had a couple of things friends have given us. Well August is fast approaching and it was time for us to get some shopping done!


This past weekend there was a post wide yard sale on Ft. Riley. We had a feeling this would be the perfect opportunity to grab some baby gear and boy were we right! We ended up with a car load. We found a pack n play, stroller, swing, bouncer, and a few clothing items and books. For now everything is sitting in her room until we are ready to figure out where everything will go.

We haven't done any work on the nursery yet but that will soon change. Jason is going out of town for a few weeks and while he is gone my mom will be visiting. I'm think while she's here we will tackle the babies room! Or at least do as much as we can. Our crib has been ordered but is out of stock until mid June. Here's hoping we get it in sooner rather than later!!

Wyllie Family Update

So I had every intention of keeping my blog updated after we moved so people could see what we were up to in Kansas. Well we moved in and like a second later the holidays hit, we found out I was pregnant, and I spent the next couple of months terribly sick and blogging became the last thing on my list. So not that I am feeling much better, I am going to try and give a summary of what we've been up to the last couple of months.

I'll start with the biggest event going on right now. Our baby girl! At the moment I am 21 weeks and 4 days along and she is due to arrive August 9th. We had a gender ultrasound a couple of weeks ago when my mom was in town where we found out we were expecting a little girl. This past Friday we had our official anatomy ultrasound at the doctors office that confirmed we were having a girl. The ultrasound tech was so nice and even played around with the 3d scan to get us a picture of her face. We are still wrapping our minds around the fact there really is a baby in there! I think my ever expanding baby bump really makes this real for Jason. That and the fact this girl is quite the tap dancer in there and we love to feel her move!

Even though we bought a brand new house we still have lots of projects going on. We have always hated carpet and decided to go ahead and start replacing it with laminate flooring. Jason read up, googled, and youtubed, and came to the decision that he could install it himself. So far he's done an excellent job but it has been slow going since he only works on it on the weekends. The basement is almost done!

Jason has also been working incredibly hard on our yard the past couple of weeks. When we moved in the yard was only seeded. So now that spring is here, Jason has been fertilizing, reseeding, and killing weeds. He is very committed to making our yard the best in the neighborhood and it is well on it's way!

Since we did move, you might be wondering what we think of Kansas so far. Well, we are loving it! Jason spent our first winter here starting to bow hunt and it looks like this will be a new hobby for him every winter. We have been really enjoying the area and having fun finding new places to eat and check out. The weather has been warming up so we have been about to take the boat out quite a bit. Lake Milford is fantastic! It is huge and gorgeous, with lots of fish that we've never seen before. Jason is having a great time researching the best ways to catch the walleye and white bass they have here. I am really excited to be out swimming on the lake this summer to escape the heat!

I think that's a pretty good update. I am sure I missed things that I might remember and add later. We have several future projects that I will try to keep y'all informed of. We have a nursery to start on, landscaping to do, floors to finish, and a guest room and basement to furnish and decorate. Hopefully we will have all this done by August!
