I LOVE LONG WEEKENDS!!!! Parent Teacher Conferences at District #108 and substitutes do not have to be there. I went shopping yesterday on my day off and spent the Christmas money I had been saving on Maternity clothes. I had a great time with my mom trying on clothes and picking stuff out. I am so excited I found a dress for the event we are going to at ISU this weekend. I was afraid that I would have a hard time finding something that was nice and appropriate for the event.
Brandon was invited to attend a fundraiser event for the Fine Arts Department at ISU. We are going to a post card art event. I am not exactly sure what this is all about, but I am looking forward to meeting more people that Brandon works with. I am assuming that the art will be expensive, so we will probably not be purchasing anything. It will be fun to have a night out together though.
Not much else has been happening around here. We are ready for more Spring-like weather. We are very tired of the snow and messy sidewalks and parking lots. Brandon is counting down the days until baseball season starts again. We hope everyone is well and we look forward to talking to all of you soon.

The Burling's
On Valentine's Day, we went back to the Dr. The baby's heart beat was 174 beats a minute. It is so cool everytime we get to hear it. I went back today to get some medicine for this flu thing that is going around (it sucks) and the baby's heart beat was 156 beats a minute. My mom got to hear the heart beat this time and she teared up. My belly is growing rather quickly now. Every week we notice a little difference.
Brandon is just starting the first night of the play at Eureka. He is not actually on stage but he reads for a seat somewhere near that audience. After the play is over he will probably start working on sets for the Civic Chorus. I think both of us will be glad when the play is over, so we have a little more time together.
As for me, I am trying to knock this horrible flu. I have been getting things ready for the baby. I am hoping to get a warm weekend soon, so I can start painting that nursery.

Our First Message
Hello Everyone! Brandon and I have been talking about starting a blog and now that we have good friends all the way in Australia, I thought this was a good time to start one out.
Brandon is doing well at work. Not only is he working full time at ISU, he also teaches a class at Eureka. Right now he is helping out with a play at Eureka. He has also been busy with the Pekin Civic Chorus. He is not only singing in the chorus, but he is also helping with the sets this year.
I am still subbing in Pekin and I love it. I'm keeping rather busy subbing and getting ready for our little bundle of joy. The baby is growing everyday and any day now I could feel some movement. We have heard the heart beat and it was about 180 beats a minute. We go back in two days (Valentine's Day) to hear the heart beat again. In about two weeks, we will get to see our baby for the first time. I'm so excited.
Everything in our lives is wonderful. We feel very lucky to have a new little one joining our family and can't wait to meet Baby Burling. I will try my best to keep this updated with changing pictures and stories. We would love to hear from all of our friends.
