Been 10 Months and alots progressed

So its been 10 months since I've blogged anything. Thats pretty much becuase I have been here, there, everywherer, but on a farm! We are pregnant! Expecting #3 and this time around it is a girl. We were dually shocked even though Noah told us from the beginning that it was going to be a girl! What intuition he has! I love that boy! Today was our second U/S as I have to have them every four weeks and she is measuring ahead of schedule. I have a hunch that this one will come early but we'll see, only time will tell right?!

I am still in school finishing up my MBA, onto my last semester and looking forward to graduation on May 8th. I am cramming in three classes to finish up the last semester and graduate in time to be home with baby and the boys a bit more.

Joel and I are discussing our options of me staying home and just home schooling the kids. I am personally not looking forward to three kids in day care and we are currently not happy with the school system right now. They have given us a lot of empty promises and private school is not in the budget right now. Maybe when we hit the lottery or something! My thoughts would be to just take a year off then go back to work when both boys can be in school at the same time.

Joel is still at Pactiv working like a crazy horse, longer hours, more trips, and bringing his work home with him. Its hard to juggle his passion for work with family at times but he is pretty dedicated to showing the boys how to build things and last night when I got home from work later than usual found him teaching Noah some phonics through the use of scrabble pieces! Noah's catching on quick and has a true passion to learn how to read!

Noah and Morgan are both in the same preschool cruising through life. They both have an interesting relationship with each other but they are also quickly finding which buttons to push with each other. When push comes to shove they defend and work together as a team. Just this morning I caught them trying to sneak candy in a covert operation with each other under the table, I think the pounding on the floor gave it away followed by Morgan saying, "Shhhh mommy is going to hear you!" LOL!

The both of them are still trying to figure out how the baby is going to be born, where she is going to sleep when she's born, and what to name her. Noah has had a few good suggestions but all is well otherwise.

Christmas is rapidly approaching and it will be another quiet holiday this year as family is not coming until later in the afternoon. I think this will be our first Christmas morning without family in town. So I am looking forward to Joels traditional Cinammon Roll French Toast and making my homemade cinammon rolls on Christmas Eve with the boys. Better yet! Two weeks off of work sounds like the best present yet!

Happy Holidays!
