Prego-Update

Good news - we are finally feeling settled in our little house - Old Slanty. Yes, that's right. We got a call saying that the first rentors fell through, and they offered us a chance to rent! So, we scrubbed, cleaned, painted, re-did the bathroom floor, replaced the bathroomcounter, scrapped windows, deep-cleaned carpets, replaced outlet covers, wired a new light, and began a battle with the bees (currently living in the crevices of our back door) - and now this 100-year old house is home! It comes complete with it's own yard and the best part - a creepy old attic. We feel like we have so much space, and Kris is only a 15 minute walk from his classes at the U! We feel so blessed to be here. At first, I thought - we are going to have to really sacrifice living in this old place (at first, it seemed so run-down - dirty, poor-paint job, atrocious bathroom, no dishwasher, and no laundry), but now we can honestly say that we love it here! Pictures will be forthcoming.

Other news - in the midst of his battle with the bees, Kris was stung by a ferocious bee and his ear swelled up like an elephant's. Don't worry; after some intensive first aid care from Tiffany, he's okay.

Kris is working hard at grad school, and Tif has been substitute teaching until the baby comes. Only 3 more weeks! Yeah! We are so excited, and ready for the baby to come, but the baby's room isn't! We still have a crib to set up, dresser and rocking chair to buy, etc., but we are getting there! We attended our all day birthing class yesterday, and we've been reading a few baby books, so we are getting educated and ready to go! We can't wait to meet our son!

Below are a few pictures of my engorged prego-belly, proof that sassy and pregnancy don't mix!

  5. You look SO SO cute! I love your pregnant tummy! You look perfect, with the pregnancy glow and all! :) I can't wait to meet him after he comes (and I will!) Good luck with everything if I don't talk to you before he comes! Send me a picture and update as soon as he arrives into this world! Oh, and thanks for the thank you card! You can ask me anything, anytime. Although I'm not the most expert but I will share any little advice I may have. I know I call my sister & sister in laws all the time still for child raising tips. So I guess I can share their tips with you :) Love you and good luck! You will do great w/the delivery and you two will be awesome parents!
