Surprise

Surprise....

I do still remember how to log on to my blog. Shocking I know.

Things have been a little more than crazy around the Peevy household. It seems like we are always in a constant whirlwind of activity but we wouldn't have it any other way. :)

So here's the updates:

Brandon is doing great and loving the fire department. He is about to take his CDL test so that he can start the path of becoming a driver (yeah they don't let you just drive around a big ol' fire truck apparently.) It will take him close to 3 years before he is promoted to driver but he's excited.

I am continuing to do well. School has been kicking my tail. It does every year around this time. The warmer it gets, the crazier the kids get. The full moon this week isn't helping. I actually had a kid kicked out of school last week for reporting his weed stolen at school. Well played my friend, well played.

I am 22 weeks and a day pregnant as of today. Everything continues to go well. It took a while to really feel the baby move but once it started it has been full force. The baby has been playing games with us and we still do not have 100% confirmation on the sex. The best guess is a boy but I haven't bought anything blue yet. We have another ultrasound on the 23rd and hopefully baby will stop sitting with legs crossed and help this mama start planning for the arrival.

Speaking of arrival...I can't believe that in 4 months I will have a child. It is something that I have longed for and prayed for but feel so unprepared for. Last night at dinner I had the chance to snuggle with a friends' 8 week old baby and got really emotional. Somewhat overwhelmed and somewhat fearful. Excited to be a mama but scared at the responsibility that comes with it.

Registering for this kid was INSANE. I can not believe all the stuff that is out there for something that is so small. Swings, mats, bouncy things, more swings, more bouncy things. Good night there's so much crap to think through and I honestly have had no clue where to start. At least when you get married you have been in a house before and know what your taste is and what to register for. Baby....heck I don't know.

So since I don't have a clue 1. what the baby is and 2. what I am doing...we decided to fix up other areas of the house that I do know a little something about like the living room. :) We recently put down new carpet in the living room and new tile in the bathroom. We are trying to be Bob Vila and honestly it's working for a house that we don't want to sink much money into. We have some new light fixtures to replace the 1950's chandeliers in the house and are working on moving the laundy room from down in the basement to the upstairs (thanks to Kay Davis lobbying my father in law for that one.)

For spring break we are headed to Washington D.C. Brandon has never been there and I love it. We plan to head out early Saturday morning and there's a lot on the to-do list. I'll post more about our plans as it gets closer. I am excited about showing Brandon the city and possibly meeting up with a few friends from college while I am there.

Till next time...
