We're thrilled that we'll be welcoming another life into our family by the first week of September! The boys are so excited, too. They went with us to the first appointment and got to see the little nugget on the screen with us. Owen has been saying from the beginning that he thinks it's a girl, but Sam has been saying boy. He did change his mind this week and now says it's a "gril". I love how he says that.
I guess we'll all know in about 8 weeks.
I've been sick this pregnancy, unlike the previous 2. I've laid on the couch for at least half of my awake time until recently. Most nights I just have to lay still or I'll get sick. This has been hard on all of us. I feel like I'm worthless and like I'm missing out on the boys and Michael. (This of course is not true). Michael comes home to complete chaos...dishes everywhere, toys everywhere, uncooked dinner or no plan for dinner. He's been so wonderful! Even though he works a full day, he still jumps right in with dinner, rough-housing the boys, and bath time. I'm so blessed!
We're hoping for it to turn around soon. I'm already not as sick as often and I've been able to enjoy our Anniversary trip to Athens and other fun events.

When it rains...
Yes, we're still alive. No, I haven't done any homeschooling since my last post. :) We had some pipe with a nail in it leak all under our floors (unknown for a while to us) and we had to move out for a week for the floor people to repair it.
We got a new water heater and fixed a freeze break in November, and that's when they saw the nail. We battled with insurance and lost, so we had to pay for the entire thing: water heater (unrelated, but pricey), freeze break, nail in pipe, dry wall, rotten floors replaced, someone to dry it all out, then someone to rebuild it, then they sanded the entire downstairs (we had to move EVERY.LAST.THING. upstairs), then they refinished it.
The floors look awesome now, but I'm trying to not be bitter that it cost us all we've saved up for Sam to go to school next year plus more. :(
There you go. Our life the past month!
