Pregnancy - Holy Moly!
As most of you probably know by now, I'm pregnant! Just over 4 months which puts me with a due date of December 1st!
HAHAHAHA Right?! I know that's what you're more than likely thinking, because that's exactly what I thought.
August is still pretty much our busiest month: Alex (Sullivan), Drew (Sullivan) AND Chris' birthdays. Not to mention, Chris and I's anniversary, the start of school and a host of good friend's birthdays and special days! NOW December is trying to vie for that spotlight - as it's likely going to be when this kiddo is born. [At least he/she will never be able to use the "You don't know what it's like to have a winter birthday and compete with Christmas!" - Been there and done that ;)]
SO in any case, a few more details for anyone who cares to know:
*When we found out (and consequently when we told our parents) = April Fools Day...
which also happened to be just before Chris began Finals. (Like he wasn't already stressing!)
*How Chris' mom reacted = she GUESSED!! Kinda took the wind out of Chris' sails for a minute, but he recovered. ;)
*The "Uncles" have already started campaigning for "Best/Coolest Uncle" to which Chris told them, it's probably going to end up being the youngest Sullivan, Alex, due to his being the closest in age and doing all the things this little person wishes they could... (Who knows though right?)
*I've been blessedly relaxed about the whole thing so far. A little nausea, a few cravings (but nothing crazy), nothing to worry about really. The BIGGEST thing was I was SUPER-DUPER-RIDICULOUS kind of tired. Like Chris got a good amount of x-box live time in while I slept in the evenings. It was not unknown for me to get home from work, eat and then fall asleep on the couch or futon by 7 or 8 and sleep for several hours, only to wake up around 11pm or midnight and fall back asleep within the hour.
* My supervisor at work is hilarious. We moved our offices to a smaller unit in the same building and she would not let me do much at all. I went to pick up one of those folding tables from like Costco or something (you know, the long ones??) with the help of another girl in our office and Brenda almost took my end of the table from me. When I told her not to bother that I had it and we were almost done, she just gave me this glare. :) It made me laugh. Plus she's super excited about me being pregnant. When we got the first ultrasound done, I brought in the pictures because I thought she might want to see and she clapped and drew enough attention to bring Eric - the attorney - into her office.
For now, Life is GREAT! Been super busy, but it's working itself out. Chris has a paid internship at the law office I work in now. He's finished his first year of Law School!!!! I've got a job with a great supervisor and employer who seem to like having me around and sound like they want me back as soon as I want to come back after having the baby. :) I've got AMAZING FAMILY who are super supportive about everything! Plus friends all over who make life so fun! AND Chris and I found an apartment in a complex within our current ward boundaries (and closer to the Feldmann's) and with several couples we already hang out with currently. Pictures with the growing baby belly to come...
