I can't believe it's nearing the end of April. Clearly, I'm not a "blogger" if my last post was in January when we found out we were having a boy. But that's okay, I don't need anything else going on right now. SO much has happened since then. I will try to squeeze out an update since I probably won't get out another post until Summer :)
February-March:
I started a new job! God opened a door that I wasn't expecting, but it has turned out to be a huge blessing. (did that rhyme?). The only thing I was "expecting" this year was a baby in June. So, I left Co-Cola after 4 years to become a Client Manager for a health management company (don't want to go into too many details). So far I love it - mainly for the work-life balance and flexibility of working from home. It's also a huge challenge. I have so much to learn! Sometimes it's just easier to stay where we are doing what we "know how" to do... so as much as I want to know everything about my job right now, I know I need to be patient and take it slow.
I feel like the new job has been a launching pad for us to finally HOUSE HUNT! We knew this was a huge priority with the baby coming and all - but God is truly blessing us and working out the details (isn't He awesome!?). We've been house-hunting since January fell in love with one - cried when we heard it went under contract... re-focused and have made 4 offers since then. Hello!? Can someone just sell us a house? I never knew it would be this difficult (and please, let me spare you the details). BUT, we fully trust God, we have to be patient (regardless of our June-due-date). We know the right house is around the corner and we're getting close. We've spent every weekend (and some week days) looking for our future house...I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW EXCITED WE ARE! We've been waiting for this for 9 years! I don't think anyone can be MORE excited and anxious than I am, to move... not possible :) Oh, and our house-hunt has turned me into a pinterest-addict. (confession...)
Aislynn also started part-time pre-school a nearby church on March 1! Still surreal to me, but she absolutely loves it and we love that it is preparing her for big-girl school in a couple years. She goes from 9-12:30, she's one of 10 in her class (5 boys and girls) and she has learned the cutest little songs & games. We like the fact that it provides structure and teaches her independence (amongst many other things, they have a well-rounded curriculum). Our favorite thing has been 2 particular songs that she sings all day long!
1. The meal "prayer": God our Father, God our Father, we give thanks, we give thanks, for our many blessings, for our many blessings - aaaaamen, aaaamen (except she likes to sing it warp speed).
2. "If I had a little box I'd put my (fill in the blank: Mommy, Daddy, etc...) in, I'd take 'em out and
April:
Dad's birthday - Aislynn's 3RD BIRTHDAY (On Easter) - My birthday! I can't believe my precious baby girl is 3 years old. Oh, how I can feel her tiny newborn beany-butt cradled in my arms still. She is TRULY my pride and joy. I love her more than words can describe - she's the most perfect awesome little girl God could've ever picked out for me (us). aaahhhh...
Pregnancy:
My pregnancy has been going great. No complaints. I'm bigger and carrying a bit lower this time around. At my last appt (30 wks), they confirmed that lil' man is head down (yay!). They also told me where his extremeties are - which explains why I'm getting kicked, bumped and nudged 24/7 on my right side. I NEVER imagined this baby would be as active as he is. He moves CONSTANTLY. He gets the hiccups a lot too and settles down for about 20 mins at a time... then it's back to river dancing. I'm definitely feeling the third trimester pains of not a lot of sleeping, achy ribs/back/hips - BH contractions - tiredness and ligament soreness. But - it's all worth the bundle that grows inside.
I'm super excited b/c tomorrow we get to see what the next Adamski looks like! I got a 3d/4d ultrasound gift certificate for my birthday (thanks Dad) and booked my appt right away. It's just a quick peek - so I'm hoping we get some good shots of his face. I can't wait to see him! I kinda feel like it's "cheating", the fact that we get to see him before he's born (this isn't how it used to be)... but we can't deny the perks of modern technology, so what the HAY? :)
THEENNNNN... off to my baby shower. yay.
Well - This is really just a "blah" update to rid myself of the guilt of not being better about blogging regularly.... "some day" right? shyeah... There have been so many other little updates and happenings that I want to update on here. Especially Aislynn updates, preggo updates, pictures and all that 'purty' stuff (Ais first day of school pics, Easter & bday pics, friends' bday party pics, etc...) More to come. (who am I kidding, I think the only person that actually reads this post is also typing it right now) :)
(Okay, here's a couple pictures, just to make this look a little less boring)
