Something's coming!

So, now that the whole world knows- we're expecting a baby! Yup, this November we are adding a little boy or girl to our family!!!! Yay! Crowd goes wild! Here's a shot of our most recent ultrasound, done only 2 days ago.

In addition to that huge news, we are also going to be moving at the end of the month! It's very exciting news because then we will live by Husband's work and he will no longer have to make the 2 hour commute each way. He will get to spend more time at home with his growing family! But it is also nerve-wracking because we will be moving away from all of our friends and we will be even farther from his family. It's not going to be easy in that respect, but it's the best thing for the family and something we really need to do. 

I'm trying to focus on the good that it will bring because I know if I focus on all of the hard parts it will bring, I'll just be an emotional mess. Add that to the pregnancy hormones and you've got yourself one heck of a disaster on your hands. So I'm staying positive because I know that we WILL make it through this, and God will help. And our family bonds are strong, and our good friendships will hopefully be able to weather any storms that the distance might bring. I am so excited to see where this new life will take us, and even more excited to meet our precious little baby in November. Oh, little one. You will be here just in time for Thanksgiving, and there's nothing more I could be thankful for than that. I love you so much already, little squishy bug.

Until next time...

Changes

Things are going very, very well for me lately. I feel so blessed right now. My life is changing. The changes are slow, but in the end will be very dramatic. I'm so excited for the way life is headed but I'm also a bit scared and nervous. But it's a good thing.

As for this weather- because when you don't know what else to talk about, you talk about the weather- I'm sick of it. Pick, weather, pick! Hot, or cold! Actually, please choose hot. I'm so cold every day and even if it's nice outside, and the temperature is hovering around 70, it's still cold for me. I swear instead of fingers I've got ice cubes on my hands. I'm sure once it's warmed up and in the low 90's I'll be complaining and wishing it were chilly again. That's how it goes.

Catching up

So I've been slacking. Again. It's so much harder to keep a blog than I thought-- so I make no promises now that I will keep it up this time. (Though I always intend to...)

Started working out today. I'm doing Shaun T's Rockin' Body Workout. I got it for about half price on Groupon. It seemed like enough of a workout to get me off my butt, but still fun & enjoyable. We'll see how it goes.

I'm going to Disneyland on Leap Day with DH and his sisters. I'm really excited about it! They are going to keep the park open for the full 24 hours! We plan on staying in a hotel near the park so we can come and go as we please, all day and night. 

I'm trying to get the hang of housework. It's very difficult, and we have such a large house to manage, considering it's only the two of us living here. I made some chore cards for myself: they are organized by daily, weekly, and monthly chores. I'll cover that in more detail later. Until next time.

Warm & Cozy

I am so excited for the weather to finally cool down! It's an excuse to cozy up under the blankets with a loved one... to wear fuzzy, colorful socks all day long... to blast Christmas music in your car, house, whatever... and one of my favorites-- to drink holiday beverages from Starbucks!!!

My favorite is the Eggnog Latte! What's yours?
