I don't know why it's been so long since I've blogged...........there are really no good excuses besides laziness. In the last 4 months since I blogged there has been a lot going on with us. Here's a list of the highlights:
-School has been going good for me. I'm having a great year NOT being the Student Council advisor. While I enjoyed doing it for 3 years, I'm loving having more time to do other things.
-Moose started a new job working for a specialized foster care company. He is working in a group home for kids who have a dual-diagnosis of mental retardation and another social or behavioral disorder. It is a very challenging job, both physically and emotionally and has definitely been a big adjustment for our family. He has to work most nights from 2-10 so we really don't see each other very much besides on Sundays :-(
-We moved WAY across town. We are loving our new place, but it has definitely added to our commute times. It has been fun for us to explore our new area, get to know new stores to shop at, and living next door to our good friends, the Pullins'.
-As most of you already know, we are expecting a baby GIRL in April. I'm about 21 weeks along and feeling great. I have had a very easy pregnancy so far (knock on wood) and my belly has really started to grow in the last couple of weeks. I know that lots of people are really into posting the belly pictures on their blogs, but that is SO not me. Sorry.
-We are going on a cruise for Christmas this year!!!! We're going to the Carribbean and are VERY excited about it. It will be a much needed break for both of us. It will be a great last hurrah vacation before the baby is born and will be fun to spend some time with Moose's family. We LOVE to cruise, but have never cruised over the holidays, so it should be fun. I will definitely post some pictures when we get back - you might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the belly from those.
One more thing - we're getting ready to register for our baby shower and are a little bit overwhelmed by all of the "gadgets" out there for babies today. Experienced moms and dads, please comment and tell us what your "must haves" were when you had infants. What were the basics that you just couldn't live without that we should definitely get? I don't want to waste our money on things that are just not worth it. Thanks for your help!!!
