News, news, and more news

I guess I'll start with the biggest news first. I'm pregnant! I tested on March 11, so I am
8 weeks, 1 day today. My first doctor's appointment is tomorrow afternoon, and I am hoping that we see the heartbeat. I've been much more queasy this time around than I was with Ethan, and much more tired since I can't just come home from work and crash. Based on my calculations, my due date is November 18, but that may change after tomorrow's ultrasound.

Joe and I have decided to keep the sex a surprise again this time around. It was so exciting not knowing the entire time and picking out a boy's name and a girl's name. When I ask Ethan if he wants a baby brother or a baby sister, he tells me "Baby Sister" every single time!

Big News #2: We are going to be putting our house on the market and looking for someplace bigger. We live in a 3-bedroom townhome, and although we have room for 2 children, we would like a yard where our kids can run and play, where I can put a sandbox and a swingset, where they can play ball and run around with our dogs. My neighborhood is also an older community, so we would like to find somewhere a bit "younger", with kids for Ethan to play with. Plus, we'd like to move out of the school district we are in. We've looked at many houses in our price range already, and we put an offer on one, but it was not accepted. The sellers had received another offer the same day, and that offer was not contingent on the sale of a house. So we'll keep looking; we know the perfect house is out there somewhere.

Big News #3: We celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary in Atlantic City on March 1. We had a really nice time away, just the two of us. It's amazing to me that we have been married for 10 years and together for about 15.

Big News #4: Okay, this probably isn't big news, but I'M excited about it! We are getting new bedroom furniture tomorrow! After 10 years of living with crappy, cheap stuff, we are finally getting a new bedroom set!!! WOO HOO!!!

When I get a few minutes, I'll post some recent pics of Ethan. He's getting to be such a big boy now, and I just can't wait to see what a great big brother he's going to be.
