Update #1

Because I can't recount all the stuff I have missed from April 2013 until now, I will just catch up on what has happened more recently. And for posterity's sake, I guess we will just have a lot of gaps in my history. Which could make for some great storytelling!!

Update #1: we are expecting our third baby. In June of 2013, Mike came home from Japan and the plan was to immediately get pregnant. Well, as any of you probably know, I am a huge planner-- a little OCD, and God knows this about me and is constantly teaching me to trust in Him and his timing. For me, it is a constant teaching! So, my timeline of expanding our family was not in accordance to his timing...for reasons I am still not aware of, but I am beginning to see some light on that matter.

So, in October we found out that we were expecting. We have been looking forward to this for quite a while. Probably more Mike than me, but we are thrilled to be adding another sweet spirit to our crazy, circus-like home.

In March, we found out that baby #3 is a GIRL!! For me, I was shocked beyond comprehension! I was sure, even being 0-3 on guessing the sex of my children, that this baby was a boy. I had a name picked out and was so excited to follow that trend of boy- girl- boy. Well again, the Lord has a different plan than mine. I should just start expecting things to go that way, but I'm a slow learner, obviously!

In April we found out that Mike was offered a position in his job that would transfer us to the Washington, D.C. area and they were asking us to move by June 1, which would be 2 months before Baby #3 would come. I was excited about this change, and began the necessary preparations.

Now to the present...we are living in D.C. and are about 7 weeks from Baby #3, whom we have named Maycee, will arrive. We are working on getting prepared, but living in a temporary housing only allows for a suitcase with the preliminary items needed to care for a newborn baby. We are shopping for a new infant car seat and possibly a bassinet!

More to come regarding the baby, I am sure!

Wow! Has it been this long?!...

Wow, okay so this is the trend I continue to have in this life. As far as journaling, I will be good for a while, and then slack off for a year or more. To be positive, at least I am consistent. But, I guess I can always be better and try harder!

When I first began blogging, I was using it as my way of documenting for myself and out of town family and friends the moments in my small family's lives. Now, I am setting a new goal to continue this blog, due to some major changes that have recently taken place for us. So, I apologize, but it might be blogger overload for a while! So, let the overloading begin...
