So much to write and so little time

My dear sweet jellybean.....today marks 8 weeks and 3 days since you joined us. Hmmmm, that means only 31 weeks and 4 days left to go! I'm afraid if I start counting like this the time will never pass! So much has been going on in our lives that I have barely had time to breathe let alone post. For starters we are buying a house, have our current house on the market, your dad wants to buy a different car and of course work is always busy. By the time I get home in the evenings I am exhausted and usually too tired to do much more than put on my pj's and watch tv. Last night I did manage to find the strength to plant some flowers and throw the football around with Nate. Speaking of Nate - he got chosen for the percussion section of the 6th grade band! He is so excited - out of 50 kids that tried out he was picked 7th!!

I had an appointment with Dr. Howell (he will be helping you into the world) last week and he seems very nice. He took time to answer our questions and ask some of his own. He scheduled a sonogram for June 6th so we can see you again! I can't wait to hear your little heart beating - I plan to record it so I can play it for your brother and grandparents. Your Papaw is keeping up with me everyday - sometimes I think he may be more excited than I am - in fact, he is the one who nicknamed you jellybean, so blame him! Granna and Poppa are also busy thinking of things they can do and buy. They have already claimed the right to buy your bed so at least you'll have a soft place to sleep when you get here. Then of course, Grandma and Grandpa are busy building your cradle - well probably Grandpa more than Grandma but I'm sure she is doing a good job of supervising :~)

Other than that - you daddy is a bit disappointed that the Dallas Stars didn't make it to the Stanley Cup but he is really excited about being able to take you to a hockey game next season. Your first outfit is a Dallas Star's outfit - Granna says if you're a girl you are going to look really funny in that green and black! Nate is excited about school almost being over.....boy does the time fly by! Seems like just yesterday we were touring his new school and now they are ready for summer break!

Keep growing strong sweet baby jellybean. I'm counting down the days until I can feel you move around! I already love you so much and I can't wait to meet you!
