Well I wanted to be better about posting with more regularity, but I guess that hasn't been working out so well! We have been very busy (as usual!) and I am still trying to get my energy to a normal level...which I'm pretty sure will actually happen when baby # 2 goes off to college. This way, if it happens sooner, I'll just be pleasantly surprised.
We just had a very nice visit with my husband's parents and celebrated my sweet boy's SECOND birthday! I can't believe he's two already - I literally reached for the little number 2 candle for his birthday cupcake and starting crying right in the store. SO embarrassing. I'm chalking it up to pregnancy hormones. Because I can.
In other news, my parents are now currently en route to my house! We've had a busy few weeks of house guests, but it has been/will be wonderful to see everyone. We plan to celebrate Memorial Day weekend outside (it's supposed to be beautiful). Our neighborhood is having a big to-do with kids' games, hot dogs, cotton candy, face painting, etc. I'm sure little Josh will love it. Then there will be the parade on Monday morning, a cookout with friends on Monday afternoon, and date night on Monday night!
It will be a most special date night indeed, because I'm surprising my husband with a special dinner out to celebrate a major accomplishment - he has recently received notice he got tenure at the school where he teaches! I am SO proud of him for how hard he has worked, and sticking with the job/district even when the going got VERY tough. We certainly are giving ALL the glory to God, who not only continues to provide us with everything we need, but who has drawn us closer to Him and Matt and I closer as husband and wife through these last few (at times trying) years.
When Matt first found out he got the job 4 years ago, we celebrated by going to the Melting Pot for a four course fondue dinner. Now, 4 years later, I am surprising Matt with dinner at the Melting Pot again - it seems fitting, don't you think? Yes, it's expensive, but this man surely deserves a splurge!
That's the news for now - I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday and will probably be able to schedule the ultrasound then. I can't WAIT to find out if it's a little boy or a little girl in there! I'll keep you posted!! Have a great weekend!
