September- The rest of us

Well, I went on and on (and on) about Morgan in my other post, so here's a quick catch up on the rest of us.

 Our current little house.

The view all around our house

I've stayed busy working on projects to make this little house feel more like home.  It's pretty dark inside, so we added a bright blue pegboard above the stove where we can hang some utensils and pots.  I really like the splash of color.  I've also been busy adding labels to Morgan's toy baskets so everything has a home, and labels for her clothing drawers so other people in the house can help put things away too!  Now I'm starting one of those "home management binders".  Anyone else have one of those?  I also jumped on the diy toy bandwagon.  We had fun coloring pasta and learning how to sort by colors into a muffin tin.  That's my favorite one so far.  And I'm not one of those great bloggers who has pictures of all these projects, don't worry.  I'm also doing some tutoring one or two afternoons a week.

Nate is busy with school, school, school.  It's kind of weird being married to a college student.  College seems so long ago (it has been almost a decade since I graduated!).  But I am really proud of him.  He is working hard to keep really good grades.  He's also working as an usher at the college football games.  We're still trying to adjust to a small house with a yard that we can't work in, and being a one-car-family.

And best for last, I'm busy being pregnant!  Sometimes that is not so fun (gag, gag, gag) but sometimes it is great.  This little man is on the move a lot, way more than Morgan ever was.  So I get lots of kicks and punches.  We started a name list, but nothing is jumping out to us yet.  My thyroid got all out of whack, so I gained 7 pounds in one month, but other than that have only gained a few pounds.  My goal was 10 pounds this time, obviously not going to make that, but I'm trying to keep the weight gain under control and exercise as much as possible!  I mostly crave peanut butter with bananas and honey, or ice cream (as Nate said in the grocery store:  You ate all of the ice cream already!), and milk, or Fiji water.  All other water seems to have a weird taste.  Oh, well.  We're getting excited to meet this little man in about 16 more weeks!
