I don't ride the short bus, I swear!!!

Okay, so I'm super lame and didn't know how to post a new blog without responding to my old one. I'm a dip!!! Now that I'm not a dip anymore, I will post a new blog!!! So, since it's been forever since I last posted, we have a lot of catching up to do. First off, I'm actually pregnant with a real baby! We are expecting our first little girl on October 24th. We're so excited to be having a baby. For those of you who know me, you'll know that I've wanted a baby pretty much forever, so it was hard to have to wait such a long time to start trying (3 years! Holy cow, in Mormon world that's like 20 years!!) and then having to try for 8 months with no success. So, I feel really blessed that we are able to add on to our little family. Jared is really excited too. At first he was deathly afraid of having babies but got used to the idea. Then, we found out we were having a girl. Jared was thrust back into "babies are scary" mode and has spent a little time there. We're making some progress as we get used to our tough little guy being a tough little girl. I'm sure he'll be great with her. Our niece Gabby loves him and he's really good with her. Except for scary flying lessons. We are still in our little house and are starting to do some remodeling. We refinanced, so now we have some money to spend. We're starting with insulating the house and putting in new windows. Jared is ripping off all the interior walls to put in the insulation and will put up new walls without hideous, circa 1970's wall texture on it. We're getting ready for the summer. I'm trying to convince Jared that we need a pool but he just tells me I can go to my moms. Well, fine then my little hubby. I will see you in the fall when I come home. It's flipping hot at our house!! And I'm sure that our neighbors won't appreciate a fat, pregnant lady prancing through the sprikler. Alright, this is a really long blog, so I'm going to stop. Later.
