HOW has it been so long since I've updated? I had so wanted to have this blog to keep a record of the boy's growth and the funny things they do and say and just our life in general. That doesn't so much happen when you blog once every three months and hardly even take pictures to share!

The big news here is that we're expecting Baby Shirey #3 in June! We were able to tell Johnny's family in early November and then my family at Thanksgiving time. We let Corban tell Nanny during Thanksgiving Eve at her apartment. He told her that "Mommy has a baby in her belly." But Nanny couldn't hear and kept asking over and over what he was saying. Finally he said, "Do you hear what I'm telling ya! Mommy has a baby in her belly!" Yeah, we got a good laugh out of that!

As far as how I'm feeling with this pregnancy I felt horrible for the first 13 weeks. I never was really sick, just felt like I could be sick ALL of the time. Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas I started to feel better. I've been feeling the baby move some, that's still not too consistent. We're hoping for a girl this time, but of course we'll be thrilled no matter what God decides to bless us with! We got February 7th for an ultrasound.

Christmas was good. We went to Johnny's parent's on Christmas Day after church and stayed until Saturday. It was a good week, but I am beginning to think more and more about not traveling over the holidays. We ended up only having one day at home for the boys to play with their new toys and then it was back to school and our regular routine.

Our regular routine is something I need to work on. We get up and go to school every day and I usually do errands during that time since I only have one of the boys. Then we come home and have lunch, a show, and quiet time/nap time. I always have great plans of getting lots accomplished during nap time and that never seems to happen and then I never seem to get around to much after they get up either. I need to work out a schedule of house cleaning, errands, projects with kids, and working with Corban on his letters. Any great ideas?
