I know it' been a while but time is surely flying by! I am now well into my second trimester and getting rounder everyday. :) I have 4 more weeks until I enter my third trimester and I can't wait! Since my last post, I found out that we are having a sweet little boy! We are so excited that God has blessed us with such a gift. We have had three ultrasounds so far and on the last two he moves, kicks and squirms the whole time! I think we have a little stinker on our hands! I have 63 working days until I leave on maternity leave and you better believe I am counting down! I can't wait until he is here and I can give him lots of kisses. The girls are so excited and Jasy ask almost everyday when he is going to be here. She reads to him everyday and he already recognizes her voice. Every time she starts reading he wakes up and moves around. Eve loves to rub my belly (which drives me nuts) and she laughs at all my transformations and problems. Jasy tells me how beautiful I am (isn't she sweet) and how I am the most beautiful women on earth. She must know my self esteem runs a little low right now. Jason has been great and has really helped me out a lot so far. Lots of foot rubs, back rubs, tubs ran and runs out for fruit! Yes, fruit, I have craved fruit like crazy! Especially strawberries! I eat them everyday. No weird cravings though, all normal. We have picked out a name for our little Prince and I can't wait to do his nursery! We have decided on the name Zeb. We are going to name him Zebediah Luke and call him "Zeb". Zeb means "a gift from God" and that is truly what this baby is to us. I already know he is going to be special. :)
I am starting to enter my "nesting phase" and it is driving Jason nuts. I want everything done yesterday and I really need my house organized or I am going to go crazy! We are moving Eve upstairs to the play room so we have been repainting and moving stuff out. We are almost done painting her new room, and then we are going to move her upstairs and do the finishing touches over the next month or so. We have to add her a closet to the once office space, and I really want to add some built in bookshelves for her room. I have taken on a good many little projects and I can't wait to see them finished. Then after we get Eve upstairs we are painting Eve's old room and moving Jasy in there. THEN FINALLY we get to do the nursery! (Jasy's old room). I can't wait to paint the walls a baby blue and see everything in place for him. Those who have been pregnant know how crazy women are when they begin "nesting" and getting things in place for their new little one. We are like crazy birds flying around getting our little nest ready for our chicks/dudes. :)
The girls are doing great in school and they seem to be settling well with their new schedules. Eve has had a big adjustment this year getting used to middle school but she seems to like it pretty good-just not all the work...especially on weekends. She is doing fantastic in gymnastics and has completely gotten over her mental blocks, thank the good Lord! She is now doing handstands on the bars and she is so proud of herself and we are so proud of our girl for fighting through it. She has her first meet this weekend. It will be so nice seeing her having fun again doing what she loves. I hope God gets all the Glory.
Jasy loves first grade and loves her teacher. She is reading up a storm. She LOVES to read and reads constantly! She is already in chapter books and stealing Eves old books. :) She never seeks to amaze me and she is one to watch! She has a heart for God and she is such a caring, loving child. I can't wait to see what plans God has in store for her. When she sets her mind to something this child makes it happen! She sets goals and writes them down and then works towards them!
I am so ready for Thanksgiving to get here! I love this time of the year. I have so much to be thankful for this year. God is so good to us.
