It's been too long....

I can't believe how quickly the summer is going by. I think this must be the craziest, most hectic, mega-stressful summer in my entire life. Leave it to me to pack eight million life chages into a few months! So here's the update:

The New House: It can be summed up by saying...Will we ever live there? We have now been living with my in-laws for over a month...and there's really no end in sight. The house was supposed to be done on 7/15....then 8/1....now its 8/29. I keep telling myself that someday...just someday....I actually may sleep in my own bed again, at a house I can call my own. I know I'm being a little over dramatic, but work with me...I'm pregnant.

Speaking of Which: I am turning the corner into my 3rd and final trimester! Lilly is kicking like nobody's business and doing great. I feel wonderful...just really hot! Whoever thought being prego in the summer would be fun is nuts! I should buy stock in Degree deoderant...it's the only thing getting me through :) I go to the doctor tomorrow for my glucose test...hoping all is well there. I'm hoping its good, as I've done much better trying not to eat for eight like I did with Jacob! We are still on track for a C-Section the last week of October (wanna take bets on whether we'll bring the baby home to OUR house or the in-laws??? I don't even want to think about it)

The Fam: Josh and Jacob are having a fun filled summer. Much of Josh's time is spent at the new house trying to get things moving, and Jacob is laughing, taking and growing up way too fast. He's doing cannon-balls off of the diving board into the pool next door and almost potty-trained. I'm very proud. I can't believe how big he is and how grown up he is. Yesterday he came up and put his hand on my belly and said "Lilly inside momma's tummy? Come out when done growing?" Who teaches a kid that? I died laughing!

Overall I really shouldn't complain about things....we are blessed beyond belief. I will just be happy when I can leisurely look back on these days and laugh.

IT'S A GIRL!!!!

I can hardly stand it!!! I am so excited to say that the newest Wegener will be a little girl! We had an ultra sound today and everything looks great....SHE is growing just as SHE should and meeting all of the milestones expected. We are thrilled to welcome a little girl to the family...the place is going to get a whole lot pinker :) I can't wait to meet my Lillian Marie!

Ed+Stacey = One heck of a Girl's Night Out!

As can be imagined, there was nothing but fun to be had on Stacey's Girl's Night Out (GNO). We ate too much food, played games, opened presents, and DRANK....except for us pregos! There was liquor, beer, shots (jello and others--including H2O shots for KT and I) which all added up to 9 girls having a blast. My favorite was the band 4 and 20 who were hilarious, and basically made the night about our Stacey (as it should be). They changed all the words in songs for her and made numerous shout-outs! Here are some highlights from our night.

Check out my little dancing machine....way too funny :)

Things that go Bump in the night

Well, we finally got Jacob's big boy bed set up in his new bedroom and for the last three nights he has successfully slept thru the night. By the light of day, Jacob seemed very excited about this new adventure, but each evening, Josh and I channel Super Nanny while we put Jacob to bed and after he climbs back out, we go and put his back into bed. This is at least a 10 minute process each night, but we're sure our efforts will pay off.

Unfortunatley, two nights ago, Jacob fell out of bed and bumped his head...Josh climbed into bed with him and both boys were snoring before too long.

Buchanan...here we come!!!

Believe it or not....WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!! The other day, I was being anal retentive (with my type A personality) and I was out by the mailbox counting the number of for sale flyers that remained. This was my measure of success each day...I know I'm a dork, but stay with me....while making my daily count, one of my friends drove by...Cassie...who lives down the street. She made fun of me briefly and then took one of my flyers in case she ran into someone looking. Well...the stars aligned later that week and a new girl at her work was looking for a house. This couple came by that night to look and the following day decided to buy our house!!! I can hardly believe it! What a huge relief! Now we can move on to bigger and better things in our new house in Buchanan. There's so much to do between now and then, but I'm so excited! YEAH!!!!

Gotta Get 'Em Started Early

So for anyone who know my husband, he is a FREAK about his lawn. Springtime is usually the time for playing outside and enjoying the weather, but for Josh it's simply the time when he gets to mow his lawn, not once, but twice a week. I shouldn't complain because we have the best looking lawn around....but now he's corrupted my son....it's just gotten way out of control. Jacob's only two and look what Josh has him doing.... Like Father, Like Son :)
