It's a......BOY!! (and other quick updates)

So to quickly update all of my blog readers (are there even any out there?? lol...no biggie if there isn't...i tend to write for my own enjoyment...readers would be nice...but not a neccessity..lol).

We had our ultrasound yesterday to find out the sex of baby #5. I had in my mind that it was a girl. I mean, what are the chances that we would stick to our pattern of boy, girl, boy, girl...but this baby stuck to our pattern! BOY! I am happy, but just shocked really.

We brought all the kids to our appointment. We decided that it would be enjoyable for them to get to find out what the baby was. They really surprised me at how well they all enjoyed watching the baby on the tv. The baby even sucked on his hand and the kids got a kick out of that. And after we found out it was a boy the boys were cheering and all of a sudden the baby threw his arms up in the air almost as if he was cheering with the rest of his "boy" team! Very cute!

So that is our latest baby update. I've been feeling REALLY well. Definetly feeling the second trimester now as I have more energy and I'm not extrememly huge at the moment so i can still move around quite well.

I'm hoping for a HUGE blog facelift to take place after Christmas. I have new ideas for this blog and hopefully ways to make it more enjoyable for all those that read it. (which very possibly could only be two of you..lol.)I enjoy blogging about as much as I enjoy reading blogs (blogs are one of my favorite things to read--if you could see my whole blog list of the blogs I follow and read..you will see I have TONS of them..i love reading other people thoughts) I have been slacking on blogging a lot lately. I'm blaming it on how tired I was at the beginning of this pregnancy or just the busy that life brings. I'm working on that though. Time management...a goal of mine. I decided I need to get my butt in gear because if I don't think I have time now...what will it be like when #5 arrives??? And I'm not talking about just time to get the neccessities done but also leaving time for some hobbies of mine (blogging, crocheting, crafting etc). But anyways..that is all sounding like a new blog post..so I'll just stop there and say hang on...changes are coming to my blog (good ones I hope!).

Merry Christmas to everyone (as I'm guessing I won't get a new post written between now and christmas). Remember the real meaning of Christmas. Our Savior Jesus Christ. Enjoy time together with family. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas,
Shawna

A VERY quick update

Ah...it's been awhile since i wrote a blog...i've been busy...traveling mostly. We were in WI for a week and then the 2 days it took to pack and the 2 days of driving...so for almost 2 weeks I was very busy with that. We had a great time in WI...it was SO nice seeing my family and friends. I miss them so much. But by the end of the week, as sad as i was to say good-bye, I was ready to head back to my home. Now we are home...everything is unpacked, laundry is caught up and my newest project is organizing the entire house...from the inside out....so I've been cleaning out closets and just getting organized. Oh and we are also getting Jordan ready for school on Monday. Tonight we go and meet his teacher. Then Monday is the big day! WOW..my baby boy is starting kindergarten. Now is when we will actually be in a real routine. I have to actually every day get up (well, i get up every day...but you know how it is when you don't have to actually be anywhere) and get him out the door every weekday morning! I will be driving him to school and the school is about 15 minutes away. So it's going to be an adjustment for all of us. I'm excited because I know he is excited but i'm also nervous. He doesn't seem old enough to be gone to school all day. My little baby, out in the big world without me!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'd better stop before I get teary eyed! Now it's time to get back to organizing...
