I have actually had a few things to do at work, so I haven’t updated in a bit. If anyone actually reads this, I’m sorry for my slacking. In any event this should be a fun update, because we’ve had a lot going on the past few weeks.
I will start with baby news. We had our first ultrasound on the 6th, and it’s a boy! I was a little disappointed at first because I was talked into it being a girl, but I’ve since come around and am very excited. I think I will love being the only girl in our house haha. Killian is so excited to have a brother. We took him to the park after the ultrasound and he told everyone there that he was having a little brother. He’s even made sure that his brother will have a good mom like he does. He’s so adorably clueless about how the baby process works. We’ve taken him to a couple doctor appointments and the ultrasound and he always asks “Do we get to take the baby out now?” He still doesn’t understand why we have to wait 5 more months.
A fun part of finding out what the baby is, is we got to keep it a secret. Only a few people knew we had the ultrasound, but we kept it secret until Mother’s Day. My mom and I made me a shirt with a little baby on it and once we found out it was a boy, we embellished the shirt. The baby was in the womb and had a thought bubble above his head that said, “Snakes, snails and puppy dog tails. That’s what I’m made of!” It was really fun to watch people read it and see if they understood. Most everyone got it right away, and there were a couple people that were a little slower and needed some help, but it was so much fun!
I am at the half way mark now, and am getting excited for all the things that are soon to come. I can’t wait to register, have baby showers and of course, get a big belly! I’ve already chosen the crib bedding set that I want, paint for the nursery walls, and the stroller and carseat.
We also painted our living room and foyer area this past weekend. My dad has been bored, so he came over and tore down all the wallpaper, spackled and sanded all the rough spots and so we were ready to paint. It took a little effort to choose the color both Jase and I liked, but thank goodness Lowe’s sells samples. Money saved in the end. Overall it looks great, we just have to do the finishing touches. Pics will come soon. We had hoped to start on the baby’s room, but the living room took longer than expected due to our 15 foot ceilings, so the other stuff will have to wait.
Last Saturday, it was Jase’s birthday. He and I went on a date Friday night to Brewvies and I threw him a surprise dinner on Saturday night. We usually go to dinner for his birthday, but I thought it would be extra fun to show up for dinner and have everyone already be there. We went to the Chinese Gourmet, one of his favorite places and he was so surprised. He’s 30 and I just wanted to do something fun for him. Happy Birthday babe! I love you!
Sunday, it was Mother’s Day and overall it was a fun day. My mom and I went to Jase’s mom’s for a Mother’s only luncheon and really had a good time. While we were there, Jase, Killian and Ron, Jase’s dad, went to see the new Star Trek movie. After lunch at Karen’s, we went to my Gma Judy’s for cake and ice cream. Everyone was there and it was fun to have everyone read my shirt and look at ultrasound pictures. For Mother’s Day, Killian made me a great picture with a poem and his hand prints on it. My mom got me a set of Aqua globes, and a butterfly candle holder for my bathroom. I told Jase I wanted to go shopping for Mother’s Day, but I haven’t decided when I want to do that yet.
The only bad part about the day, was on the way to Karen’s house. A mother duck and her babies were crossing the road and a car on the other side ran over one of the baby ducks. Those who know me, know I don’t do well with that kinda stuff so it traumatized me a little bit. Being as emotional as I am, it took a lot of effort for me not to cry, but even more effort not to turn my car around and ram into the back end of that other car. I hate hate hate people who have no concern for anything else, and it just enraged me. I luckily haven’t had any nightmares about it, but I wasn’t able to drive home yesterday on that road because I was worried the ducky would still be there. I just hope that I personally don’t even run over any animals, or I may end up in mental therapy.
One other new, cool thing. Jase got a new job! He now works for Myriad in a new pharmaceutical department. Everyone is really cool, and he loves it, so I’m happy. Not to mention that his benefits are better than mine. We signed up for his medical insurance and because of that, our baby will be practically no cost to deliver. It’s so awesome to have that feeling. Friday, some of the vendors he deals with, took him and his co-workers to Ifly, so it’s really been a great place for him to be.
Killian is still doing very well in school and only has little bit of a problem at home sometimes. He can recognize almost all of the letters and knows all the colors and shapes. We’re still working on recognizing numbers, but hopefully that will be good to go very soon.
Well I think that’s it for now. This week, I’m finishing my living room, maybe starting my baby’s room and having a Lia Sophia party. Next weekend is Memorial Day weekend, so I should have plenty to update next time. Until then….
