Son of a...

Has it really been almost 6 months since I posted last??! Yikes. I'm lame. I've had so much to share and write about too. There is really no excuse. Well, I have them but who really cares. Right? I want to blog and (hopefully) you want me to blog it.

Let me tell you the biggest news and we can go from there.

First off, Hubbs and I finally have a piece of the American Pie (Dream, whatever) and have purchased our very own house. :) Yipee! It seems almost surreal that we actually did it after all these years of wanting to be homeowners. I had honestly given up thinking it could happen for us. I am happy to have been wrong about that.

Now, don't get me wrong. Our little piece of pie is no mansion. It's a small abode with potential for the future. We can put some elbow grease in to it and hopefully use it as a stepping stone to becoming further in debt for a bigger house a few years down the road. ;) For now, I'll work on making this house a home for us.

So, our little casa has 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, a cute little brick walkway in the front, and a could-be-decent-someday backyard. It also has a 2 (very small car) garage and a semi covered patio with ceiling fans outside. Now that my computer is working at home, I can upload some pictures to share with you all. (Yeah, all 3 of you who are still reading my posts. Ha!) Until then you'll just have to imagine what it looks like.

What to do with all those rooms?? Don't be fooled. Old houses do not have ample closet space or large rooms. This house was built in '62 and has a host of spacing problems. Mostly the lack of, but that is OK. It is still bigger than our apartment was. :) We'll have to do some maneuvering to make it comfortable, but we'll do our best. We definitely have had one of the rooms decided for us, however.

It's going to be a NURSERY!! That's right my blogging buddies. The R household will be welcoming a new little nugget in to the world. We are definitely happy about it (now that some of the shock has worn off a bit). :) I'll attempt to answer the usual questions up front:

-I'm due in June. June 23rd if you ask the sonogram technician and June 19th if you ask the nurse practitioner. I'm going with the 6/23 date since the sonogram tech was able to see our nugget and measure it. Wednesday will be 12 weeks for those who are counting.

-I'm feeling pretty good over all. I have not puked and, thankfully, any nausea I experience is usually in the afternoon or evening.

-Lil Man is pretty excited to be a big brother. He's been asking me for a little brother or sister since he was about 3 or 4 years old. He's 13 now. Better late than never?

-Yes, we are going to find out what it is. Hubbs can't wait. Since this is his first time, I defer to him for this. :)

-We were kind of planning it, but then not at all. Things happen when you least expect it.

-I don't care if I have a boy or a girl. Either way I'll be happy as long as it doesn't look like this dude from Yo Gabba Gabba. (And I promise not to bowl cut the kid like Dora either). Hubbs says he wants a girl because he would love to have a little me running around the house. I say he has no idea what he's asking for and he's foolishly in love to make that comment. :) Lil Man has requested a brother. We'll see who gets what they want. They've got a 50/50 shot. :)

I think that's all I've got for now. If you've got more questions for me, feel free to ask away. I'll be happy to answer what I can.

For those of you who will actually read this post, thanks for sticking with me. I know this was a long post but hopefully it was worth a little of the wait. I will do better and I will post more updates. I will also, eventually, read to catch up on my favorite bloggers. I missed you!!
