With everything going on right now, I've really been slacking on keeping up with the blog! I just noticed that the last post I made was a month ago about Easter! So here are a few updates and hopefully I will get a second to upload a few pictures.
Zoe - She's now a big girl :) We finally convinced her that if she started going in the potty then she would get a big girl bed and a new room. She decided she wanted to have a purple room and after a trip to Jim Miller's she also decided she needed a bed with steps, aka a bunk bed. I then had to set off on a mission to find a quilt (actually 2) that had purple in it! After hours of searching and 40 minutes on the phone with Penny's, we finally have blankets for the big girl bed!
Here's the bed:

Ryan - Has been extremely busy with new houses and thank the Lord things have been moving lately! Golf season is of course in full swing and he is on the course every chance he gets! For example, he is playing in league tonight, a scramble tomorrow, and 2 rounds on Saturday. He has been working on getting the barn finished up and trying to keep up with our yard! I am very blesses to have a very understanding husband who realizes that I don't feel so hot and that I have a ton to do this time of year!
Baby Howard #2 - I went for my check up yesterday, at 26 weeks. Everything is right on track and looking good. I did, however, gain 8 pounds in a month. Overall, this isn't bad though considering I had lost 7 in the beginning. The heartbeat has stayed right around 139 the entire time and was the same this time. When discussing my due date, he was pretty sure that I wouldn't make it to Sept. 2nd, which is just fine with me! I go in a few weeks to do the lovely glucose test and drink the nasty orange drink. YUCK! We did go for the ultra sound and somewhere in our house is hidden an envelope with the baby's gender and locked in our heads is the baby's name if it is a boy or girl - you will just all have to wait!
Me - Excessively busy doesn't describe how I have been lately. Our building is having asbestos abatement over the summer and we are required to pack everything in our rooms into labeled boxes. Since I'm not starting the school year, I have been cleaning and organizing before packing = NOT FUN! I am also halfway through my final master's class and will be submitting my final portfolio sometime the last week of June/first week of July! I'm am super excited! On the pregnancy side, I'm surviving. I hate feeling so crabby and grouchy all the time and I just feel like a fat beached whale, but I am very much looking forward to having a new baby in the house and watching Zoe with it. :)
Overall, we are really looking forward to summer and lots of pool time!
