May 1, 2010 by Adrienne

Happy May! It always seemed, growing up, like spring had arrived once May rolled around. Here, spring has arrived, say, the middle of March. I’ll take it.

Everything is going well as far as the house goes. No big surprises; we’re actually ready to close. Inspections done, appraisal’s done, roof is re-shingled, financing is cleared. So cool! Close date is still May 20, but that might get moved up. Very cool. Then the work begins! Blaine has plans to bomb it with bug bombs, then gut the laundry room where the roof had been leaking, re-sheetrock it, clean the whole house (fairly certain Blaine does not plan on that one, he plans on me cleaning…) and then we can start moving stuff. We have to search for a stove right away, and a dishwasher and a freezer, eventually. So much to do!

The girls started the next grade this last week. Eden’s in 1st, Liberty’s in 2nd. So far, we’re in that easy-peasy stage that the books begin with, covering a review of last year’s material, so the girls were loving it. We’ll not work too hard through the summer, but hard enough to be ahead a bit and not lose ground over the summer.

Other than that – I’ve got nothing. Life continues to be busy, and we are looking forward to moving – and then not moving again for a very, very long time. My pregnancy has been uneventful, although this one has me sick still, just a bit now. Blaine admitted to me that with the size of my belly, he’s still thinking twins. Ultrasound’s in a week and a half; then he can see for himself. It’s not.

    Thanks!I think a big baby is less scary than twins! Liberty was 7 lbs 7 oz, Eden was 8 lbs 3 oz, Sterling was 9lbs 2 oz and Ruby was 9lbs 1 oz. A big baby would follow the trend… 🙂 No 11lbs 12 oz, like Blaine though – please?! 😛
