Week 31! Holy moly where is the time going??

Yeah, you read that right. 31 weeks! I remember back when I first found out I was pregnant, anything in the thirties seemed like so far away. But here we are! We are getting so anxious to meet our little boy! But I am getting a little nervous. Not necessarily about being a mom (suprisingly, I am just really excited about that) but more about the birth and making sure we have everything ready and prepared before he gets here!

We have been ridiculously busy the last couple of weeks and I know it is just going to get more crazy around here! So let's get to the good stuff..

Three weekends ago, we celebrated Easter with my parents. They came up to Abilene and it was really awesome having them here and of course having my mom help me decorate the nursery. It is just about done!

On Tuesday of last week.....we found out that SHANE GOT THE JOB WITH THE ABILENE FIRE DEPARTMENT!!! I havn't talked a whole lot about this on here, other them him finishing the Fire Academy last August. But in January, Shane started the application/hiring process to be a Firefighter here in Abilene. It has been a LONG four months waiting to see if he got the job. I really can't put into words how proud and excited I am for Shane. He has found something that he is so passionate about and I love seeing him follow his dreams. Hutton sure has a good daddy to look up to!

Thursday we got a new puppy! I know people probably think we are crazy for getting a puppy two months before having a baby and thats okay. We might be a little crazy! BUT I've been really sad since Frank died and mostly because I feel so bad for Lucy. She has been SO lonley and is craving our attention all the time. So we decided that she needed a friend. We would like to introduce you to you, Miles! Yes he is a pug. Can you imagine me with any other type of dog? Of course not. He is 7 weeks old and just a tiny little thing. He is about 2 lbs and the sweetest little guy. He has being sleeping through the night (hallelujah) and doing really well!

Right after getting Miles we headed to San Antonio and spent Thursday-Monday with my parents. It was so nice getting to spend time with them, my sister Clarissa and getting to watch my nephews play Soccer!

So there is the last couple of weeks in a nut shell. Now you know why I havn't updated this in so long! Now, here are the latest stats!

Anything making you queasy or sick: I have been SO lucky to really have nothing make me queasy or sick this whole pregnancy.
