It's been a couple weeks since I've posted- yes, we're still alive- we've just been busy (such is life- right?) Anyway, I wanted to do a quick update of what's been going on:
Kristen- She's doing very well. She moved into a new classroom last week. She was in a 1/2 split, but we had an overflow of 2nd graders- enough to hire a new teacher- and so now she's in a straight 2nd grade class. Her teacher is wonderful, and I'm thankful that Kristen is in her class. I was very concerned about how that transition would go, but she's done well. She's enjoying her dance classes, and getting ready for a recital in late October!
Will- The biggest news in our family is that Will got a new job! He's been looking for quite some time. His current position was such a blessing to us- it was flexible for his class schedule, and he was able to carry his own benefits. However, now that we are a family of (almost) 4, the pay just wasn't quite enough. Sooo.... he's got 1 more week there and then he's going to be working at CarMax, selling cars! Go see him if you want to buy or sell your car! But wait until November- he will be training through the month of October, and doesn't make commission on what he buys or sells until November. ;)
Me and Sam- We're 33 1/2 weeks! Sam is growing right on track! He's been good to his mommy during this pregnancy. Braxton Hicks have slowed down- I think my body needed some serious readjusting to being back in school. He's head down, heartbeat is good (around 140) and so far, everything is going smoothly. I'm hoping that a relatively easy pregnancy= an easy delivery and an easy baby? Maybe? Don't crush my dreams, y'all! We are working to get things ready around here for his arrival. My parents have gifted us with his pack 'n play so we'll be getting his "corner" set up soon. (Sad thing about being the 2nd child is that all of the sudden a "corner" in mom and dad's room is sufficient space for you! lol) I'm loving putting away his clothes, and imagining what he'll look like in them. We've still got quite a few things to purchase for him (like a carseat- I've heard we need one of those), but we'll get there. I'm trying to focus on the "what do we NEED to get done/have to have before his arrival" list as opposed to the "this is cute/I would like to do this" list.
Other updates: Our family is crazy busy between now and Sam's arrival. We've got plans almost every weekend that will take up all Saturday, or Friday/Saturday, etc. Also, our weeknights are filling up quickly. We are trying to remember to schedule only things that we have to do, and spend lots of time as a family of 3.
We are still looking at different housing options, and we'll make a decision-sometime. Maybe over Christmas... maybe over the summer... who knows. We are still praying about what we need to do there, and want to make wise decisions.
