And The Craziness Begins

Well, the end of March is a signal for some very busy weekends to come. Between now and the end of June we have a lot going on. Brandon starts working on the sets for Civic Chorus on Saturdays (of course I will be helping too). Sundays are Civic Chorus rehearsals. From April 18 through April 25, we are dog sitting for my brother's dog Leia. The Civic Chorus show starts on June 3 and runs through the June 10. On June 14th and 27th, we are going to be attending weddings. I feel like we are going to be on the go for the next 3 months, but that's okay because it will make the time go fast before the baby comes.

The baby seems to be growing everyday. Baby Burling reacts to our dog, Lily. Lily likes to lay against me on the bed and the baby kicks at her. I don't think that Lily will like to lay by me when she starts to be able to feel the baby kicking her.

I'm on my last couple of days of Spring Break. I don't know that I am ready to go back yet, but I just have to keep in mind that my classified substitiute job ends in about 7 weeks. I'm sure I will get calls after that, but the everyday pay stops on the 16th of May. I will miss the kids, but I am also very excited about staying home with our little bundle of joy next year. We hope everyone is doing well and that you had a great Easter.

All the Fun of Shopping for a Baby

I feel bad that it has been so long since I have updated the site. The first weekend in March, I painted the nursery. We have a farm theme and we have been able to find a lot of cute stuff. The following weekend, we went crib and changing table shopping and we also registered for the baby. (I know it seems early, but with Brandon being in Civic Chorus things are going to get very crazy) It was so fun to register for the baby. I think Brandon was a little confused on all of the things we registered for but I told him what we would use everything for. The baby is getting bigger everyday and I am starting to feel some movement. It is an incredible feeling to feel your child move for the first time. According to my baby website the baby is the size of a mango right now.

On Saturday, we are having Easter with my family at my grandma's house. We hide eggs in my grandma's yard for my nephew and my cousins. (My grandma lives on a farm, so she has a very big yard) Brandon is no longer allowed to hide the eggs without being with me because two years ago he hid them too hard and some were not found until my grandma mowed over them in the summer. On Sunday, we will go to Brandon's grandma's and have dinner with his family. We have been very lucky that our families celebrate holidays on different days or at least at different times in the day.

I am so happy to have next week off. It will give me time to spend with Noah and time to do some much needed things around the house. Plus, the students (and teachers) needed a break. I just wish break was going to be warm because I would love to spend some time outside or at least open the windows in the house.

Brandon and I hope everyone has a good Easter.

Seeing the baby for the first time

We had our sonogram yesterday. It was so great to see our little bundle of joy. (especially on our 2nd Anniversary) While the sono tech was taking measurements the baby was moving constantly and at one point the baby's hand moved across the screen and it looked like the baby was waving at me. We got some pictures and some were in what they called 4D. The last picture they took the baby was sucking it's thumb. We are so excited after seeing the baby. The sono tech is the only one who knows the gender of the baby and she said that the secret is safe with her. I am going to try to post some pictures within the next week. We hope everything is well with everyone.
