Our New Home a.k.a The U-Haul...

Guess what we did last weekend? C'mon, just guess. Need a hint?


Notice the size of that thing? Apparently they did not have the size we ordered available so they upgraded us to ... humungo [what? that is so a word.]


Jake and I decided we would just forgo our new home and live in the U-haul instead. It was definitely big enough. 

We are now busy unpacking, redecorating, and updating. And trying our darndest to make our lovely front yard resemble grass. We have given up hope on the backyard for now. 

A special shout out goes to Spencer, Brynlee, Jace and Jake's best buddy Ben for assisting in the move. Thanks bunches!

In other news, Little Baby S is making its Mama sick again. Silly little thing. I can't complain too much because I have had a pretty easy pregnancy for the most part. But the timing for the sickness/exhaustion to kick back in is not the best. 

And how come no one mentioned how pregnancy really does a number on your hair? Gosh... it got pretty disgustingly dry there for a while. So...I chopped it. Really I did! I took 7 inches off today. 7 whole inches. Jake says he didn't even notice the change. We may need to look into getting his eyes checked. Did I mention 7 inches?

Baby S loves fruit -- bananas and strawberries in particular. Especially dipped in Nutella. MMM...Nutella.  And Popsicles. Oh goodness, she/he loves them some popsicles. But hamburger? Gag. Steak? Gag. Pretty much any meat in particular? Gag. 

After a lovely day of making me sick, Baby S decided to showcase its new talent of kicking two days ago; well, more like doing gymnastics. It kinda feels like the little thing is twirling and doing somersaults in my belly. I guess there really is something growing inside of me! 

We will find out if it is a Jake Jr. or a Kate Jr. [these are so the official names] in a week and a half. My mother's intuition is kicking in and I am pretty positive we have a Jake Jr. in our future. 

Our new home still does not have internet [or kitchen appliances for that matter], so I will update again when I can hijack internet from work. Shh...

Until then...

Sorry your sick! Ugh...I hate pregnancy sickness!! Hope you get you a little Katie Jr. because otherwise you will ruin the tradition of the firstborn girl! :)

I think it's a boy too, but I'm with Jami we need it to be a girl so we can have the the big girls, the little girls, the boys, and the three little, little girls. Two little, little girls and a little, little boy just doesn't sound right. :)

That's unless Jami, Jessica or Jaelynn step it up and have another boy in the next year...then it would all work out okay.

Your pregnancy cravings sound just like mine! Sorry you're not feeling well... but take the time to relax! You probably need it after going a million miles an hour with the move!
