Random Thoughts

well, I really don't have time to be blogging right now considering the fact that we are moving in less than a week. There is SO much to get done! Life is a little overwhelming right now, but I need a bit of a break. So, I blog.

The Jonas Brothers get on my last nerve anytime I happen to hear one of their screechy, annoying songs on the radio or catch a glimpse of them on tv. Why on earth are they all the rage right now? There's not much talent or personality there, if any in my opinion.

The fact that we are leaving Fort Collins has not sunk in yet. I've spent the last couple of weeks preparing for the move and saying goodbye to friends. It still hasn't hit me because I've been focused on what needs to get done and picturing what our new life will look like in Fort Wayne. Even though I am elated to return near family, I know I will cry Sunday morning as we leave the house we made our home. It will be strange to never return to the places and people that have become familiar over the last few years.

This is week 29 of the pregnancy! Baby moves all the time and is definitely getting bigger. My new favorite game to play when Baby is active is called "name that body part." I learned that at this point Baby can open and close it's eyes and will turn it's head toward a source of light. Some say that it can even see silhouettes of people!

I have quite a few thoughts on today's politics and the presidential race as does everybody else. It has been an interesting race so far, but I will be glad when it's all over (as long as it turns out the way I want it). ;) I won't take the time to put down all my thoughts, but all I'll say is Sarah Palin has impressed the socks off of me! You go girl.

Okay, back to my list of things to get done. Wish me luck!

27 Weeks

This week marks the end of the 2nd trimester! Let the baby countdown begin as we enter the 3rd trimester and have 13 weeks (give or take a couple) left of pregnancy (yay!).

Baby loves to move all the time. The other night there was either a head, shoulder, or bottom bulging from my belly. I was able to cup my hand around it!

I am still feeling great and hope this continues throughout the 3rd trimester.

Baby Shower

Our neighbors Heather, Sheila, Jen, and Lindsay threw me a baby shower the other weekend! They really went all out and made me feel so special. It was a fun afternoon, and it was nice that so many were able to be there. Baby Eddy got some really nice and adorable things! It is crazy to believe that we will be using all of these baby items in about 13 weeks!

Welcome Home Punk!

It is so great to have Ryan back home. He was gone for 10 days in Indiana for business and then in Malibu for Jake Reynolds' wedding.

He was in Fort Wayne for a weekend house hunting with our realtor and Pop. They were able to look at 31 homes in 2 days! Out of the 31 we now have our list narrowed down to 4. It was a fun and successful weekend for him.

That week he was able to stay with his parents as he met with his new manager and did field rides. He is already loving his new job and seems to connect well with his manager. We are so thankful!

The following weekend he flew to California for Jake's wedding in Malibu. Obviously he had a great time spending time with college friends, and the wedding was absolutely beautiful.

I am so thankful to have Ryan home again. He was greatly missed by Collin and me, although Collin stepped up to the plate by being man of the house while Daddy was gone. haha.
