We had an ultrasound last week that revealed we're having a boy! I think we were both in shock at first, but now it's finally hitting us. Addison is excited to be a big sister. (At least she thinks so right now.) She has her own ultrasound picture that she walks around with letting us know it's a picture of her brother. She talks to my stomach all the time. Too cute!!
She continues to be the party of our household. Everyday she comes up with something new and funny. She and I are both excited her hair is finally getting longer. She definitely has an opinion as to how she wants to wear it each and every day. Boy, are we in trouble!
And, she always wants to be in the garage when Daddy's doing something cool, well cooler than mommy anyway.
We're all ready for the rain to stop. Addy stands on her bed and looks outside her window after nap time to see if it's raining or not. If not, she says, "I need a walk!"
Will is on the backside of his FTO (field training something with an 'O'). Even though he's certified in every which way possible, Portland requires their own training as well to ensure he knows their protocol. This last little bit seems to not stress him out at all.
He is also going to do a Portland to Coast bike race, I think at the beginning of the summer. It's about a 100-mile race. He's excited he now has the time to be getting back into his exercise excursions. One of the excursions he's signed up for is to climb to the top of Mt. Hood. I know he's always wanted to; but with regularly occurring news of climbers getting lost on Mt. Hood, the ole' wifey would like him to wait until well after the baby comes before embarking on that adventure.
As for me, well same ole', same ole'. I'm finally getting curtains up in the house and trying to sort the spare bedrooms and find a place for everything since moving, almost a year ago! Go me! I'm also starting to show just a bit. Not enough for pictures yet.
We've joined and helped form a Life Group with young families from our church that meets in homes in our area on a weekly basis. It is such a blessing to be a part of this group, and we look forward to the growth!
We are looking forward to a little traveling this month. This weekend we'll go to Idaho to see Will's grandparents for a few days. At the end of the month, we'll take a trip to NM to see the family one last time before the little arrival.
Hope this finds everyone well! Love to all!
P.S. We're also excited to be an uncle and aunt again. Will's brother, who live in the area, had a baby boy last week. These boys will grow up together! Will's other brother, well his wife, is expecting six weeks after we are. Lots of Schwisow additions in 2010!
