Limes, "another" crawfish boil, birthdays, and bowling..

Oh my goody goody gumdrops!!

I have a lot to share,
IM 12 WEEKS!

and.. the baby is the size of a LIME!!


HOLY MOLEY..!
Its getting big..
and.. I am just starting to show..
(kinda still in the "im chubby" stage)
 I have had a lot of bloating and other things,
in the early weeks..
but it has gone down and well..
 see for yourself.


.. and this is my... "WHAT THE.." Look :)

 
I forgot to post my ultrasound pictures we got last week..
So heres our little Limeade. :) 
It was 11 weeks and 1 day!



 


 
Isn't it precious.. :)
 I love how it actually is starting to look more and more like a human.
Not gonna lie, I cant believe this is happening to me still..
Not as a bad thing either..
Its just like woah.. 
I dont know..
just unbelievable. 
Pretty soon I am going to have someone else I would do anything for..
..and well.. I cant wait to meet a mini fielding/karissa.. :) 
Here is our first family photo together :)


Anyways.. now to everything else that happened this last week. 
Since the guys had a while off, 
we just laid around most of the week until Monday came.. 
Our dear friends Ben and Ryanne left,
and we watched the Muir kids,
while their parents went and did housing inspections..

After the Muirs and us decided we were done sitting around,
we went on a bowling fiesta. :)
Fielding won..
and I came in second..
Now, if you have ever bowled with me, 
you know why I am so excited about coming in second..
I usually get gutter balls..
But to my luck.. 
We didn't know how to turn off the bumpers.. ;)

After.. The boys came up with an idea.

 Now this might just be a SURPRISE..
not..!
 The Muirs, The Garretts, and us had another last minute
CRAWFISH BOIL!

The guys were outside getting them ready to feast on,
and all the ladies were inside having our own party :) 
and I was sitting in the woman party, in a corner... 
and told everyone walking in to wash their hands.. 
pretty much you could of called me.. "THE BOSS"


 So, while rinsing off the craw fish, little Xaden was having the time of his life,
looking, and trying to touch them. :)


After they cook, they turn bright red.. 


As you can see, all the guys are feasting outside..
and the woman were inside eating the good stuff ;)


and they even sucked out their brains..


BLEHK!
And, I still haven't laid a kiss on Fieldboys lips..

 After that, Tuesday was a blur.. and Wednesday the guys went back to work,
and we had our ultrasound.. Which the pictures are above..
Thursday we went out to this restaurant by our house called 
Dons Seafood, for Dakota Garretts 16th Birthday.
and then Saturday came around..
We had a birthday party for Sandi Craig..
On of the dome wives.
It was full of delicious food, and hilarious games.
and I learned, I would be good at serades. :) 
Not really sure how to spell that.. but we can pretend. 

and well.. the rest of the days kinda just flew by.. and now we are to my 12th week..
only one week left until my second trimester.!
Yay for this Davis Family!

Our New Home.. Gonzales, Louisiana :)

Well, I will start where we left off.
Here are the pictures of the finished dome,
in Chattanooga, TN.


Fielding was up in the crane basket
and got a picture from up there for you all to see :)


This is inside the dome with all the sprayed concrete.



Isn't it cool how it swirls?
I Love it.


There is the tile they had to lay.
all the dents in the top far just from foot prints.



Pretty awesome.. Huh?

Alright.. Now to Louisiana..
We woke up at 5
and packed everything into the car,
and were on our way by 5:30.

We drove through Georgia..
but only for a little bit..


Then we drove through
Alabama..


As you can see,
I was quite bored :)


Then we drove through
Mississippi..




And finally..
We ended up in Louisiana..


When we pulled into Louisiana
it was really pretty at first..



Palm trees are like freaking paradise,
But.. Most of the highway through New Orleans
were like this.. Where you drove on a bridge for most the drive.


It was pretty cool.
but then I saw this..



I am not trying to be negative..
But most of the damage from Katrina is still there.
and how long ago was Katrina.
Its just sad..
but.. we finally got to move into our house,
and our friends brought us to the store
so we could buy a tv and some groceries.
:) It is great having friends near by again.

.. here is the pictures some of you asked for..
OUR APARTMENT :) :) :)



Our cute little door. :)


When you walk through the front door,
you come to a million and a half stairs..


At the top of the stairs you see this.
Sorry about all the vacuum filters on the counter..
I had to clean them this morning.


and.. this is the other side of the kitchen.


Through the doors you see in the kitchen is this..
(you like how my washer doesn't have a knob..
They are still in the process of fixing it :) )


and.. on the other side of the room.


If you come up the stairs
and turn left you run into our family room.
Sorry for the huge mess by the tv.
We are going to buy an entertainment center
this weekend :)
Oh.. and sorry for the whole vacuum thing.. :)



and our balcony. :)


Our view from the balcony of our lake..


Our dining room, and our wax hands from Canada :)


Our bedroom.. It's pretty dark..
Sorry,
Also, the sheets are off the bed
because someone in coming in to paint the ceiling..


Our bedroom again :)


The bathroom..



This is what you see when you walk in :)


Fieldings side.. :)


My side of course.. :)


This is our swimming pool :)
and hot tub.



and our work out room..


and.. we also have a putting green
and a car wash,
but I haven't been there to take pictures.. :)
So, I hope you like it.
Oh, and I am putting decorations up
in a couple weeks,
so our walls wont be so plain :)
YAYYY! :)
