We are moving...

No, not back to Michigan! Sorry! But we are moving across town and our whole family is so excited and thankful for the opportunity! There is a family in our church who have been desirous to move out of state for awhile, but due to the housing market, have been unable to sell their house. They had approached us awhile back about renting from them, but at the time it seemed to not really be a feasible option. The more we thought about it and the more we looked at other rental homes and really, once we found out we were having a fourth boy, the more it seemed like the perfect option for us! They have enough space for our family and a nice fenced-in backyard for the boys to play in! We are set to move in Easter weekend and are gearing up for packing up our apartment in the next couple of months!

Pregnancy Update

I thought I would take a minute to do a little pregnancy update. I am now just a couple of days past 26 weeks. So that means I have about 14 weeks to go! It is nice to be on this side of the calendar and to actually be able to count down instead of up. I have been feeling okay. I think I have actually been sick with colds pretty much my entire 2nd trimester, which has been a bit discouraging since that is when you are supposed to have the most energy. Just this past week, I was able to finally get some antibiotics for a cold/sinus infection that had been going on for just about a month! It is such a relief to finally be starting to feel a little normal again! I am quite big now and had hoped to post a picture of my ever-expanding belly, but they really did not turn out well so I will have to try again and see what happens! This little boy has really become quite the little mover over the last few weeks, which is so fun for me. The boys are quite eager to be able to feel him as well. I go into the doctor next week for my glucose test to check for gestational diabetes, but otherwise things seem to be going well. His heart rate has always been strong and I am measuring where I should be! We still haven't come up with a name yet but have a few in the runnings. I am hoping to make some new bedding/curtains for the baby but have yet to find the right fabric! I am hopeful to find it soon though as I need to get moving if I want it to be done by the time he decides to make his presence.
