We love the warmer weather!

Again, we have had a busy week. We have had Leia (my brother's dog) and she has injured her front paw, so we have really been watching her and giving her her medicine. Everyone is finally healthy at our house. (thankfully) The baby and I are growing everyday and the baby is very active. I love to feel Baby Burling move. We are starting to be able to see kicks and rolls. It is amazing. Well, I wanted to update this but I need to keep it short because I am on my lunch break. We hope all is well with everyone.

Busy, Busy Days

This week was fun but a little crazy. On Monday, we went to the Dr. He changed my due date to August 15. It is only five days earlier, but I know that ultimately the baby will decide when he/she is going to come out and see us. The baby is doing very well and growing bigger and bigger. I love being pregnant. The baby is moving all the time and it is one of the most wonderful feeling you can have. Tuesday, Brandon taught at Eureka and I got stuff ready for a garage sale I am having in May. Lily had a bit of a scare. I let her outside and all of a sudden I heard this horrible noise. When I went outside I saw that a big black dog had Lily by the neck. I made a loud noise and scared the dog away. I got Lily inside and checked her and there was not a mark on her. We were very lucky. On Wednesday, Brandon had Civic Chorus and I went and helped with tickets. Thursday night, Brandon had a meeting and we had dinner at the shop with his parents. On Friday, Chad and Kim came over. We had dinner and played games. We had a great week.

I Love Spring

I love this warmer weather. Yesterday, Brandon and I finally got some work done outside and we both thought it was great to get out of the house after we both had been sick for so long. We put in rocks as landscaping around our tree, I cleaned out the car, and we swept the driveway and sidewalk. Lily had a great time outside too.

This week, we go to the Dr. on Monday. They will listen for the baby's heartbeat and do some measurements. I always enjoy hearing the baby's heartbeat. Last week, when I went to the Dr. for my Bronchitis, I got to hear it and it was a little faster this time. It was about 151 beats a minute. The last few times it was in the 140's.

Brandon is busy with Civic Chorus and enjoying every minute of it. The show starts June 3rd and runs through the 8th. Tickets are $13.00 if you would like to come please let us know and we will get tickets for you. It should be a great show of singing and dancing. I will be doing the men's makeup for the performances and helping backstage. If you are able to come to the show Brandon and I will definitely come out after the show and see you. ( I will probably be able to see you before the show too) Plus, Brandon had a solo and he is in 3 dance numbers. The show is at the Theatre at Pekin High School.

We hope everyone is doing well.

Lazy Week

We have had a very boring week. We have both been sick. Brandon had food poisoning and I found out yesterday that I have bronchitis. We have been laying around the house since Monday. I think we are finally both on the mend and headed back to work tomorrow. The baby is fine. Baby Burling is kicking and moving all the time. I'm sure it is only going to get more and more as the months go on. That is about all that is new, but I as I promised I am posting pictures.
