just thinking

what the heck am I supposed to be doing??
I know that I am going to finish my degree...but when I actually have that degree, am I going to want to work full time and not stay home with my family??
Growing up, my parents put work and the farm in the top priority spot. I don't want that for my family. I want work to come second. I don't want my kids raised the way I was raised.
In two short months we're going to have to figure something out! At least Joel and I have our schedules worked out so that we will be able to be at home as much as possible.
As far as after school done...who knows.
Joel says that I can do whatever I want and he'll take care of me. lol. cute. He just needs to figure out what he wants to do, too.

this weekend...

Joel and I bought a car!!! WOOO!! It's an '07 Dodge Caliber!
We've been really needing to get one because our truck has no room for a car seat. We traded in the truck and actually got a good price for it!! Everything just worked out perfectly and we are so happy with our new car!

We are so incredibly blessed with amazing parents! Joel's mom and dad helped us through the whole process. And now we have room for baby! Not to mention we get over double the gas mileage we did with the truck!

baby room!

We finished the baby room! I love it so much! The stripes were definitely worth it, but OMG...taping took forever.

Less than three months until baby comes!!!

We're getting our crib this weekend!

really??

Hillary Clinton won Texas...are you freaking kidding me???
Not to mention Ohio and Rhode Island. OMG.

breathe in....and breathe out...

Joel and I just got back from our baby class. It was kind of quiet and awkward in the beginning, but eventually that stopped!
So apparently they don't teach that "hee hee whoo whoo" breathing technique. But we did "learn" how to breathe deep breaths in and out. And we did exercises to strengthen abdominal muscles!
It was exciting to see so many other pregnant people.

Oh, so one of the customers at Paper Pals came into the store and brought her 11 day old son.
I couldn't stop staring at him. I cannot believe that Joel and I are going to get to have a baby in 3 months!! He was so tiny. I freaked out. I realized how scared I really am. But then I talked to Joel and I was all better. But I'm still scared. But more excited.

I absolutely love feeling the baby kick...and she does it a lot! I can actually push down a little in certain spots and feel whatever body part is moving push against my hand. It's pretty much the coolest thing ever.

Some family friends e-mailed me the other day, and since their little babies are getting older, they are going to give/lend us so much stuff!! Like a crib, infant car seat, bassinet/portable crib, baby bjorn, and lots of other stuff!! I am so excited! And we're painting the baby room next week and moving stuff in! I get to hang up all of her little clothes in the closet.

96 days until our due date.

so excited....

baby class tonight!! I don't really know what we are doing...but I bet I get to "learn how to breathe!" tee hee.
