Maniac May

The blog title says it all...this month is pretty much going to be INSANE...in good ways of course!

It started off by a dr appt where our pumpkin still is looking strong and doing great! It was kicking quite a bit and my dr asked if I it "was kicking my butt yet?" I said...I'm exhausted all the time, but no actual movement felt yet! She said with as much as it was moving in the sonogram, to just be prepared for an active little baby and that I should start feeling stuff really soon. The next day - they called to set up our BIG ultrasound...for May 29th! I was really hoping to find out before my kiddos left from school, but I guess that they will now get a postcard from me announcing it! Which who doesn't love getting mail, so I think that will work out nicely! Plus - maybe we can do some cute gender reveal thingy, but I don't know if that will happen since most of our family live out of town! Oh well!!

The next big thing is our move...yep...I said move! We are renting out our house so that we can start the building process for our new digs out in the country. We feel majorly blessed that we have a place to rent that is RIGHT across the street from our land. Gwynn and Kirby found it for us - and there is no limit to how long we need to rent...so 4 months - sweet...a year - totally fine too! It just depends on how long it takes for all the nitty gritty of building a brand new house from scratch on our land will take. The house is going to be amazing when it is finished. Our rent house is an old farm house that has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and the whole yard all the way around is fenced in. You'd think being out in the middle of nowhere that it wouldn't be a big deal, but with two hounds and horses and cows on the property - it's a necessity! Bad thing...no internet. Oh well...I'll still be teaching swim lessons this summer - so I'll try to blog from somewhere in town.

May 18th - My bubba is coming to visit! He's going to help us move, if we aren't out before then - which will be such a blessing. I am so glad that he's coming. We have started to get closer, which is so nice. It's definitely something that I've wanted for a long time and so I am thankful that is happening! 

Field Day at school is on May 18th - that's usually a fun and crazy day at school! Some of my students will go home on May 24th - that will be a sad day because school is almost up - something that I just cannot fathom really. Another year over. It seemed like yesterday that we were just starting. The rest of the students that are staying for FYP will be done on June 1st. And then...SUMMER BREAK!! It will be very nice! I don't think we are doing too terribly much - you know between work, me teaching swim lessons, saving money for baby, and building a house...I think we'll be plenty busy!

Not to mention that my mom's birthday is May 27th!! YEA MOMMA!

I know I will be coming up to Dallas for a friend's baby shower, my cousin Tyler's NO MORE CHEMO party, and then whatever baby shower's I am given - I know of at least one already! So...like I said May will be a crazy month! But we're ready...let's go!
