And Waiting....Lots of Change

So lots of change. I'm sorry I still don't have our pictures up. It's in a box. Being a stay at home is challenging. We have had to change some of our living habits as well as change our schedule. Our mazda 6 was acting out again after many dollars had been put into it, so after further thought and prayer we purchased a Hyundai Elantra. It gets 40 miles to the gallon and fits two car seats. Jared crunched numbers and made it work for our new budget. To say the least we are blessed. Our new daily schedule is up with daddy in the morning, making him breakfast and just loving on him. I never thought it would become so valuable but it's nice. I know we will be much busier when Jesse gets here but now is nice too. We do a load of dishes a day and sometimes a load of laundry a day. We get to the gym every day by 10am so that she can run around the play center and get some socialization with other kids. I have been taking it easy in the cafe there reading or being on the internet. At about 11:15 I go get her and Jared says good bye. We go home eat some sandwhiches for lunch and then take a nap. Some days its two hours and on really fortunate days she will sleep almost three hours. I made the mistake the other day of telling her we were going to the library when she woke up from her nap. She didn't sleep much. I guess the excitement of the butterfly room was too much. When she woke all she could scream in excitement about was going to the brary and read books. Really cute! She asked me in the car the other day if I loved baby Jesse and when I replied yes she said, "I love baby Jesse too."

Sweet moments for sure. We are 9 months now and awaiting some more for Jesse to get here. We ordered Addison a big sister shirt and a baby brother shirt for Jesse. The other pictures that are posted here are people on etsy that have made these cute outfits for boys. we haven't ordered them but I'm thinking about it. we are pretty ready for Jesse's arrival. We just need to hang his letters in his room over his crib. jared informed me they wouldn't be hung by ribbon because he is a boy but he will put them on the wall.

Last weekend my parents came to visit. It was really nice and wish we had more time with them. They watched Addison so we could see a movie for our 6 year anniversary. It was nice and we are thankful. Daddy and Jared decked the attic and then my in-loves came by and also helped. Jared has his bike back and it has already brought him so much joy to have it here. The garage is almost clear for the car and bike. After this weekend we will be able to do it. We still have a washer and dryer we are giving to a friend of ours and until the mean time we are storing them in our garage.

We have been watching the Mavericks play on TV with friends that live down the street every other night. They don't have kids yet and are pretty great with Addison. We are not Maverick fans but it has been fun to watch them in the series with the Miami Heat.

I saw the doctor on Monday, we had some progress but not much. She said I could deliver tomorrow or in three weeks. She sounded real positive and was pleasant to talk to. She wanted me to definitely pack a bag now and get a pediatrician. I told Jared I didn't want to induce this time so he could have that adventurous car ride to the hospital but I know I say that now. If I'm 41 weeks I will probably be open to anything. More updates soon to come. But this experience has been a challenging but very rewarding one in deed so far. We count ourselves blessed to be experiencing it.
