Baby number two (boy) is arriving early January, that is pretty much the biggest news. His name will be Emmet John. It kind of feels weird this time, since we can't get his room ready yet at all. We only have three bedrooms, and we need the "guest" room for Jeff's parents since they are coming out to stay with us to help out. Not to mention Finn is still in the crib, and we are not buying another, so baby will just have to wait to sleep in it! I think we will still plan everything out so we can finish it once the grandparents leave. Still not sure what we are doing with the queen bed that is in there now...hmmm....
Finn started school twice a week last week, and since he went there part of the summer, he is an old pro. No tears, no crying- I feel like a proud mama. I think he really likes it now. It's nice too, that they have less of an age gap during the school year in his class. I think it is easier to get along with kids that are his age. It's amazing what a few months can do. It's only two days a week, but it's nice to have those days to get things done. Finn loves to "help" so it's hard to do it when he is around. I'm a lot slower doing stuff with a belly.
We are waiting for the weather to cool off to do some stuff to the back yard. We are having a pergola put in for some extra shade, and then we will put a patio down for furniture. Jeff has always wanted a fire pit, so I am sure that will be another thing that will go in the backyard. He has also promised to make me some beds for planting veggies; I have been dying to start a garden. Now that we don't eat meat, it will be nice to have out own supply of food from OUR garden!
No more trips really for the rest of the year. Jeff's parents come out for one more visit next month before the big one in December. We will go for a short trip to San Antonio or Austin for our anniversary. I'm glad Jeff and I will get a short time for just us before the next kiddo arrives. I'm sure we are in for a big change :)
