It's a BOY :D

Today we had our ultrasound and everything looks great. Our little babe is on target with his growth and development. There was no doubt from the ultrasound that our babe is a boy. It was fun to see our little one and how he is developing. I will have one more ultrasound next month as my placenta is a little low-lying but hopefully it will shift up (say some prayers for us :D). I've included two of the photos for your enjoyment. He is starting to get a little more active in my belly and I now feel him move daily though his kicks are not strong enough for anyone else to feel yet, but I am sure that will come soon.

God Bless!

Beth's updated Belly

Hey All,

Here is the most recent photo of my belly, this photo was from August 14 (sorry for the delay with uploading). The one aspect of pregnancy that I can't get use to is the amount of energy that this baby consumes. I have a lot more energy now than what I use to but I still am not the
"super woman" that I use to be. I guess it's natures way of preparing me for having a baby around. My mom is in town for the next week, and it will be nice having her around. On Wednesday, September 10 I will be sure to update the bog again as that is the day of our ultrasound :D. Hopefully our little Gissibl babe will cooperate and show of his or her duds so we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Stay tuned....

FUTURE FARMS (or NOT?)

Hello all, it is I Matt, the underserving beneficiary of Beth's love!! I never thought I would post anything on the website, as I am just getting be a cranky old man, that enjoys what little free-time I can find. I talked to my Aunt Gretchen this weekend, and she inspired me to post some images of the Gissibl Farm.

Beth and I have been thinking and looking about investing in a future property that we can go to on the weekend. Some place with rolling hills, beautiful views, and hopfully many fun filled memories. We looked in Black River Falls, Wausau, New Glarus, but we fell in love with RICHLAND CENTER. Richland Center is west of Madison, by about 1 hour, and is the birth place of Frank Loyd Wright. It's the most beautiful place around, with many rolling hills, spring fed creeks, lot's of farming, just vast, vast unglaciated region. Anyway, we ended up purchasing about 15 acres of land, that came with a huge barn (beautifully restored) and a pole shed, with Electric, Running Well water, and for now there are 7 horses that are neighbor's (who we purchased the land) are keeping there. We hope someday to build a house out here and have you'll out.
