"baby jill"...and walls!

About a month ago, Chad decided that Livie's baby dolls needed names...hehe.  So, he and Livie named them  baby Jody, baby Kate, and baby Jill.  For awhile, it was only Chad who was calling them by name :).  BUT...on monday night, we were sitting around and Livie had one of the babies with her.  When Chad asked her the name of the baby, she matter-of-factly said, "baby Jill"...it was hilarious.  She's been surprising us a lot lately by saying all sorts of things like "so sorry", "my baba please" (baba is her paci), "cook-cook please" (cook-cook is cookie), and her newest is "mine" (I have no idea where she picked that up...).  Here's Livie with baby Jody, baby Kate, and baby Jill...left to right:
 

And we have basement walls!  In these pics, the forms are still up, but they are supposed to come off today.

Here's what Livie thinks of the house so far :):

Even with the few things that have been done, we've had a several things not go perfectly already...and it's been so easy to get frustrated.  But, at the same time, I sense God challenging us to submit this house over to Him again and again.  After all, it is His...and He is in control of it all.  He has been and continues to be so faithful to us...and ultimately, He knows the bigger picture.  May we trust Him with it today and as we continue...

As far as pregnancy goes, I had my 29 week appointment this week.  Everything looked fine...our baby girl is measuring right on schedule!
