Half way done!

So I am officially half way done with my pregnancy if I go full term.

It is a great feeling to be where I am in this stage of pregnancy. I feel good most of the time,

people can tell I am pregnant now and not just a little chubby, and I am feeling the little guy move around. No one else has had the priviledge of getting to feel him kicking yet, but I am sure it won't be long. For now, I am just enjoying this amazing time all to myself! The nesting stage has also gotten a hold of me. I have been putting people to work around the house. This weekend we organized and did a makeover on our office/ music room. It has been driving me nuts for quite some time now. I think I might be driving Josh a little nuts though, because I keep adding to the list of things to do in the house before baby boy gets here. I have decided that I want to re- paint my kitchen a different color already. We also need to have both bathrooms painted and the master bedroom and the babies room. We have our work cut out for us, but I have decided if we don't get to all of it before he gets here, its ok I just want to make sure we at least get his room done. We installed double hangers in the closet so I have 2 shelvings and places to hang his clothes. This is a really fun time and I will be sure to keep you updated on the continued progression of me, the house, and baby boy.... Here is a 20 week belly shot, and some before and after shots of our office. P.s. Please excuse the fact that the after pics are before the before pics, I could not figure out how to switch the pics around...

It's A......

BOY!!!!!! Yup, there is a little man in there! We are super excited. We found out on Friday and Saturday we decided to head down to Myrtle Beach outlets to do a little bit of shopping for him.
We got a few outfits, and when we were on our way home decided to hit up a yard sale. We ended up getting a pack n play out of it for a great deal and it looks brand new! Yes we have come up with his name, but we decided to keep it a secret until he comes.
Other news is that Josh was offered a permanent position with the Army Corps of Engineers! The only draw back is that it is about an hour and 20 min away from our house. He will be in Conway, South Carolina. He has quite a commute, but we are hoping he will be able to go for other positions once he starts at Conway, and get in with Wilmington office again. It's too much trouble to sell our house, leave our church, and our friends. So we are going to make due with what the Lord is giving us. Good knowing He never gives us what we can't handle!
Also, we are going on a baby moon... that's right a baby moon. What is this you ask? Well for us its a vacation before the baby comes. One that we might not be able to take after we start having kids, because lets me honest... they are expensive and we might not have the extra money for such things. We leave May 23rd for a 7 day cruise in the Bahamas. We are totally excited about this time to relax. We just found out, that cell phone use on the boat is very expensive, so it will be like a 2nd honeymoon! I am excited to proudly show off my baby bump in a bathing suit and be able to eat whatever I want without feeling guilty! Life is gooooooood!
