A much needed update!

It has been awhile since I posted. I really need to make more time to do this!

We have been quite busy these last couple of months! We have almost finished renovating the nursery but we still need to paint the monkeys on the walls. We are going with a sock monkey jungle theme and my two best friends are coming to my house in August to do the artwork. I am 31 weeks along and the baby is moving all of the time. We have had a very easy pregnancy healthwise although it has been a bit stressful!

Jared is still mowing lawns and will continue doing so for a few more weeks. We are really praying he finds a good job and fast! I don't really want to have to work after the baby is born but it looks like I will be for now. At least the baby will have a daddy at home to take care of her so we won't have to get a daycare provider and I am thankful for that. I don't like the idea of a stranger raising my baby.

We have another new addition to our family. My aunt and uncle adopted a baby boy named JT last month so there will be 2 babies at family get-togethers now. We were all very excited to meet him and his arrival was a huge surprise to all! His big sister, who is 7, is the most excited of all!

Alot of my friends have become mom's in the last few months as well so it seems as though we are surrounded by babies. It has been awhile since we were home in Ogallala to visit so my brother and I are headed out there soon while my husband Jared is on a bachelor fishing trip with his best friend. Then soon after we have a baby shower and a wedding and then hopefully we will be settling down for a little while before the baby is born!

We are very ready to meet our baby girl! Jared says that he want's to be able to hold her because I have been hogging her for the last 7 months. I told him that if I could share this job I totally would!!! But even though we are excited to meet her it is wierd to think that I am old enough to be a mom. I still don't feel like I am old enough to be married! It is amazing how quickly time flies! I remember when we got engaged and I thought it was going to be forever before we were finally married! Now I kind of wish time would slow down and even though I want this baby out and in my arms I am kind of hoping that we are able to stop and enjoy the time that we have left as just a newlywed couple.
