I'm dreaming.

Last night I had a dream that I was a teacher and some guy was threatening to come and rob my classroom of all my classroom supplies. When he finally came, he ended up only taking candy and then giving me a $1,095 bill to help me buy things to take care of my class. I cried. Then I realized that it was a counterfeit bill. As if the amount of it wasn't enough evidence. I cried again.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm dreaming all day long. I am still just baffled that we are beginning our little family. It's so flipping exciting! and scary! and crazy! and dreamy. I'm still only barely beginning to feel baby move, and it all just feels unreal. Although our wait for our little one was only 2 years, and I know many others wait much longer, it felt like forever while we were waiting. It felt so far off that when it finally happened, it was unbelievable! And it's still crazy to imagine what our life will be like in just a few short months.

Again, I can't say enough about the hubs. He's my superhero.

Frostbite

Here are some of my favorite places in Indy. Of course we had to visit them all while we were visiting family...multiple times.

Steak N Shake

Monical's Pizza

Luckily the County Fair was open while we were there!

Now that vacations and camps and such are over, we are gearing up for baby. We bought our first box of diapers and wipes to start our stock pile. And we're picking out paint this week. We had an AMAZING friend give us a crib. It's in great condition and it's white - my only real requirements. Woot! We'll see what is next on our adventure!

Hope your summers have been lovely and maybe a few degrees cooler than ours has been! :)

Looks like we're having a...

Looks like we need to start making some sweet little bows!

What's your guess?

Here was our silly little announcement about the gender. Steven likes to hear what people guess we're having. Also...ummm, we're really cute babies. I'm just sayin'.

Any guesses??

We are SO excited!

A while ago I mentioned that we were trying to start our family. It was a confusing journey for a couple of years for us. We have been blessed and we are SO stinkin' excited! I thought I'd share some of our little progress pictures that we've been taking so far. It's not really showing much in belly progress yet -- mostly it's just for journaling purposes for future generations. :)

See that belly? It was just bloated at this point. ;)

I cannot say enough about my hubby. He has truly picked up ALL of my slack. I won't lie, I'm not an amazing and diligent housekeeper in the first place. We each do our best. But Hubs has become a rock star and superhero husband. Love that guy!

We already know the sex of the baby from the 15 week ultrasound. The doctor was 97% sure! However, we are keeping it a secret until we visit my home for vacation. We figure it was close enough to our vacation to have this be the one thing we can tell my family in person. So another week and we get to tell family and everyone our exciting news!

This has been such an exciting time! We are trying to enjoy every second of it!
