A lot has happened since June. We discovered Zachary has Type 1 Diabetes, the baby we're expecting in November will be a boy, and I'm razor close to failing my first real college class. JG also has a deployment this winter and I'll be putting on another stripe and assuming more responsibility at work. Life just seems a bit overwhelming at the moment.
But, to mark recent successes, I bought a gigantic can of crushed tomatoes at Costco and didn't get grief for it. Crushed tomatoes = homemade pasta sauce, usually with beef ribs slow cooked for eight hours. Mmmmm. Zachary moved into the basement, Edward inherited Zachary's new furniture we bought last year along with his old room, and the soon-to-be nursery is coming along. Four sleeper sacks, two gowns, baby over-boots, socks, and hooded towel are the only signs in the house we have a baby on the way.
The "flat daddy" of JG (life-sized poster from waist up mounted on foam board) is leaning up against the nursery wall. JG had this made right before he left for Japan earlier this year. Edward left some of his artwork on the walls for his little brother - though I think he forgot about his hot wheels holder that's mounted to the back of his door.
We toured the hospital where I'm going to deliver. I can't believe in just three short months we're going to have a baby in the house!
