OK, yeah, it’s been a while but we’ve been beyond busy. Also, tons of news that might be better shared in person so we actually get to see everyone react, but here’s the run down.

Lisa’s pregnant.

Yeah, I wasn’t going to post that until we were pretty sure everyone we could tell personally knew, but there it is. Right now were are at about 29 weeks and things are going very well. Lisa’s doing beyond great. Hasn’t been sick yet. She did just recently lose the ability to touch her toes, but that’s the worst of it so far and, well, not all that bad.

It’s awsome and cool and scary and whatnot. It’s really one of those things that I don’t even really have my head aorund yet because it’s just so cool.  Oh, and it’s totally going to be a boy. I have ultrasounds to back that up (you have been warned)

We bought a house.

Yeah, it’s awesome. We’d been building it since forever, but it finally just got done. Awesome. There’s a nice tour in the link below.

House is done

I’m getting laid off.

Yeah, the big bummer here. End of the year and I’ll have no more job. Right now I’m hoping to find something part time and flexible, but we’ll see where it goes. If I go back into a full time job I’m going to have to make more than enough to pay for child care, but if it’s part time and not exactly the hours Lisa works, I would actually end up bringing home more at the end of the week, plus our kid gets raised by us as opposed to some stranger. That’s a plus. If anyone of you knows something like that in the greater Beavercreek area, let me know.

So, great times, all in all. We’re really excited. We hadn’t really had time to think about baby stuff until the house was done and now we’re thinking about job stuff, so there’s that. But, of course, the baby has been this constant source of excitement. Now, we’re settling in and realizing that things are going to be beyond awesome. We have a room picked out for the baby and there’s really nothing baby-like about it right now, but there will be soon. Crib and changing table and little baby socks are all forthcoming. Is there anything cuter than baby socks? Seriously. Try to think of baby socks and not smile.

Of course, our little guy is going to have a good crop of cousins, too. My sister and her husband’s  son Camden will be just about 1 year older than him. Awesome and fantastic for the hand-me-downs. On the other side Lisa’s brother and his wife have an almost-2-year-old and are expecting another boy again in May. So our little guy is going to have 3 boy cousins within 2 years of him. Plus whoever comes after. And that’s not counting the 6 boys under 3 that will be at Grandma’s next Christmas and the 4 year old girl who will be bossing everyone around. It’s going to be awesome. And our new next door neighbors have a little boy, so that’s also a plus.

I guess all that to say if this kid ends up a pansy, it’s probably going to be all my fault.

Well, that’s our update. Don’t hold your breath for our Christmas card because, well, we’ve obviously been busy. Real busy. Anyways, hope you all are doing well. Merry Christmas.

Oh, yeah. NEW YEAR’S PARTY. 9:00 Dec 31 at the new place. Wild West themed. Email me or leave a comment if you need directions.
