Guess What!?

Mel is Pregnant again!!! We are so excited to have the next one on the way!! If only it didn't take so long, especially since Mel is already gettin way sick. We actually found out a little while ago that Mel is pregnant but Mel wanted to hold off on telling everyone until we had the first ultra sound to make sure everything was ok with the baby. Mel is about 8 weeks along now so the reason she already got an ultra sound was because she is doing a study about miscarriages. It was fun to go see the ultra sound and be able to hear the babies heart beat already. Tess went with us and she kept on saying "Baby goes, bump, bump, bump, bump," after she had the chance to hear the heart beat. Tess is quite the character and always makes us laugh!! Well for now that's all I got but I just wanted to let everyone know.

Brad Again

Well since my wife hasn't had a chance to update the blog since the last time I did I figured I would keep the blog going and add a few new things to it before people just give up on reading our blog and never come back. Not a lot new with the family as of now just been working really hard on the basement as of lately. We finished up the sheet rock and are hoping to start some of the painting in the next week or so. Then we will just be waiting to get the finish work done before we can finish the paint. After that we will be moving a lot slower because the cost starts going up once you start doing the flooring and all that fun stuff. I'm sure everyone that has ever done a basement would agree that it always cost a lot more then you think it will when you first start.

Other then that I started this new thing called Isagenix. I was a little skeptical going into it but thought what the helk I'll give it a shot to see if I can lose a little weight and feel better. For those of you that haven't heard about this product it is called a nine day cleanse. Basically for days 1-2 you take this liquid called "Cleanse for Life," with pills twice a day, drink a ton of water, and you get to eat these wafers that they give you, and that's it, no food for those days. After that you switch it up and on days 3-7 you replace 2 meals a day with a shake that they give you and eat one 600 calorie meal a day. Then on days 8-9 you go back to the cleanse for life and water with no food. I'm currently on day 6 and have already lost 8lbs. and feel really good. I'm not going to lie it has been a little bit hard but the results have been worth it. I'm pretty excited to have lost that weight because I had tried working out and a few other things but never seemed to get the results that I was looking for but this is definitely working. I will keep you posted as to how it ends up.

I will have to see if I can figure out how to post some pics on this blog so there is something to look at besides just my boring writing. I'm sure it's easy but this is my second time on one of these blog sites so I'm still trying to figure it all out.
