Starting to come together...

Well, things are starting to line up for us in the world of marriage and parenthood planning. :)

We are really starting to roll on getting the master bedroom redone so we can get into a permanent living situation there (we've been living in the Guest Bedroom since the wedding). Once we get that done, we'll be one step closer to getting to start working on the nursery! YEA!!! We went ahead and bought the stuff we're going to use to decorate in there. I think Emily wanted every single butterfly and flower decoration on the face of the planet! :)

Additionally, Emily is still growing a little bit every day, which is our goal these days - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BABE! :) Work has been going well for both of us lately, which is really nice - we have enough going on to not have too much stress from the office adding to our plate.

We've also FINALLY gotten around to visiting some Sunday School classes at church and we're really looking forward to seeing which one God calls us to plug in to. We've been talking about going for a long time and it feels really nice to finally be responding to that call.

We hate that we haven't been as present in the lives of all our loved ones as of late, but we think about you all often! We're defnitely looking forward to getting everything taken care of around the house so we have more time for social activities and catching up on what's been going on in YOUR lives. Feel free to give us a call any time though - WE MISS YOU GUYS!

Our 6 month check up and the baby class

We went to the doctor on Friday August 1st and it was uneventful and lasted the usual 5 minutes and see you in 4 weeks. After the appointment I realized that I can't believe we already in the 6th month! Only 3 more to go! Everything still looks to be on track for a November 18 due date.
We also had our Preparing for Childbirth class at Jackson this past weekend. I wanted to have the classes broken up over 4 weeks and go one night a week (which was one of the choices) but they didn't have enough people to sign up for that so we had to do an ALL DAY class. I found it informative in the beginning but the second half of the class really overwhelmed me. It was a lot to take in one day! I have a wonderful husband and coach, just so everyone knows, Aric is going to make this process so wonderful, I am so thankful for him.
Oh! We finally registered this past weekend. Target, for all of you who want to know. I know my parents are happy ;) We will be registering at Babies R US as well, so stay tuned and I will post once we have completed that registry.
That's all for now. Have a wonderful and blessed day!
Love,
Emily
