Things have been a bit cray cray....

And this is my first deep breath in about a month!

Mostly because of work.  We won a huge contract that is going to double the size of our company, it is total insanity trying to get everything up and running.  My team has grown as well and is working their little toushes off trying to get everyone hired, on board, and to be happy campers- not an easy job in the least, but luckily I have the best team!  Conveniently the contract is slated to begin July 20th, my due date ha!  So I am skipping out just in time but I know they will hold down the fort and do a fabulous job getting the new contract in tip top condition!

We have a date, July 16th at 7:30 am, we should meet Emily by 9ish??  Of course, today I hit 37 weeks, so anytime Emily is ready to come out and play I would be more than happy to get on with it.  She is super low, I pee constantly, and it is painful when I try going for a walk, chasing Ryan, or "nest" which there is a ton of nesting to be done since we moved into our new house 2 weeks ago!  Emily's room is, well, good to go??  Ryan LOVES all her stuff, especially throwing all her clothes on the floor, sitting in her car seat, and jumping in her bed haha.  He runs into her room and says "sistur," I totally thought he was too young to notice anything except not getting all the attention but I think he might actually kinda understand this whole thing.  My mom and Gma came in the first day in the house and painted, how cool is that her gma and great gma painted her room for her awwww.  Last week mom and Mike picked up the furniture we had bought and brought it over and got it all set up for us.  Emily's purple palace is what I would call done because I have nothing on the walls, not even sure what I plan to put there, but it's adorable!  My work threw me a shower and I got a new baby bag that I am obsessed with!!!
Ryan is awesome!  He is just sooooo funny.  He has been so wonderful and flexible through living in 3 different places, having a different cousin babysitting every week which by the way he is obsessed with cousins, and learning how to sleep and be comfortable in his new room and house.  It can't possibly be that hard since their are toys literally everywhere!!  We started little gym which he loves!   I mean who wouldn't it is a big huge rubber room with apparatuses, bubbles, balls, and little friends, he has a blast every Saturday morning.   I am thinking of signing him up for another weekday session when I am home for 3 months!  He knows so many words, like a ton, says everything, is obsessed with Mickey Mouse club house, and loves using his Elmo spoon and fork to eat, especially his cereal in the morning.  We would live outside if he could, the water park on the deck is turning out to be the greatest purchase of all time.  I feel bad I can't walk with him etc, but the cousins and Eric are really picking up the slack!

Notice the rest of the kids sitting around the circle with their parents....not our little center of attention haha
Climbing with his friends Maddie and Ginny!!
 New House is getting there, are you ever really finished?!?!  The main stuff is unpacked, the rooms are put together, the tv works, Mike is building shelves tomorrow to help organize all the large plastic objects in the garage.  We are making progress but I don't really see an end in sight where everything has a home, oh well!  I did take out all the baby stuff and cleaned that, whooo hooo!  We love love love our house and are so happy!  We haven't really met a ton of the neighbors yet but we got invited to the block party tomorrow night so hopefully we can mosey down there and say hello!!  Most important neighbor that we DID meet is our 14 year old, very mature, starting high school, girl next door...ummmm perfect babysitter!!

We aren't the only ones with a new house.  The Totten's moved to Richmond which is so sad and we miss them dearly but are glad they can be around family.  We did make it down there to see them and their house on our day trip to Richmond!  Congrats to the Tottens on their beautiful new home!

We then went to Jimmy and Crystals for Sam's 50th birthday!!  We love big family get togethers!!!

And now we wait!!  Just waiting for our little girl to make her arrival and not venture too far from the hospital.  I hope everyone has a fantastic 4th and a great summer!!
