26 Weeks and the "New Casa"

We are officially in our third trimester! Yeah and scary. I can't believe how fast it has gone so far. I'm not sure I'll feel the same way once the typical Paso Robles summer hits and we have a week or two of 105 degree days.

I am growing a lot...as you can tell by the photo below. Little Dub is a moving machine and is really making himself known. We actually saw him move this week versus just feeling him. It was pretty crazy because it looked like he was trying to punch his way into the world.

Jill: Kona, Where is baby?

Kona: Silly Mom, Baby is in your belly!

We have been in the Crazy Horse house (yes, that is the name of our new street) for a couple of weeks now. We are settling in, but the place is still pretty much a mess. We are currently working on cleaning it up and choosing what we want to put on the walls. Tim took so many amazing pictures on our South Pacific trip that I think many of them will become our decor, but choosing is a challenge.

No progress on the baby's room. Tim insists on setting up the rest of the home before embarking on painting the room, etc. I am trying to agree:)

Here are a few pics of the new place. Please hold your judgment on the general disarray of everything.

Kicker

I cannot believe it has almost been one month since our last post. In some ways I am not suprised considering the fact that so much has happened in just a few weeks.

First of all, this kid is a kicker. Every week I feel like he moves and grooves more and more. I have lately found myself suprised at the randomness of his movements. I'll be sitting at my desk at work or even better yet be on the phone and he'll do a jig or some kind of karate chop and I'll lurch or lose track of what I'm saying. It is a bit comical and makes me laugh. I love it.

After we found out that Baby Dub is in fact Baby Boy Dub, we hit the ground running...on everything but Baby stuff. We are so excited and are starting to talk more seriously about names and the like. By the way, naming someone is a really big deal. I am a bit overwhelmed at the thought of it. I'm not sure that we'll settle on anything until after we meet him. We're actually thinking about not naming him until he is three or four so that we can get to know him and name him appropriately...JUST KIDDING! Are you crazy? Yeah right, I could have the patience to wait for anything for three years...except for Tim to propose, of course:)

Seriously though, we closed on a house in Paso Robles and proceeded to paint it and move in within one week. It was crazy, exhausting, and stupid, but we're glad it is "over". We had good friends and family helping us and that made a huge difference. I'll get some photos up here soon, but in the meantime, I just wanted to say that we are alive. We are still blogging. God is good.
