Remodel is Under Way!!

I have no idea how so much time has gone by since we last posted! My morning sickness has decreased a LOT in the past few days and we started remodeling our condo. Almost all the cupboards have been torn out and the bids are starting to come in to remodel our place! I am feeling well enough I'm attempting to get a little temp job and I think I have a job offer pending (they called and left me a message this afternoon but I got it after they closed). Ben is doing a great job balancing school, work and the remodel and I'm so proud of him. My belly is a tiny bit bigger, but still nothing anybody besides me would notice. Ben's parents are helping us a TON with our remodel and have even been letting us stay at their house. We are so grateful. I can hardly wait until the remodel is done so we can decorate the nursery!

We have the BIG ultrasound where we find out what the baby will be in two weeks! Oh I can hardly wait. I still do not feel pregnant and I sometimes wonder if there's really a baby in my tummy or if an evil virus has just taken over my body. Some people who know we're pregnant refer to us having more, and more babies after this one. All I've gotta say is slow down speed racer. I start hyperventilating when I think about just having one baby! Ben's mom was taking care of our cute little nephew the other night who's only 2.5 months old. He is a good baby, yet even he likes to cry, and cry, and cry - and did I mention he cries? Seeing as how the small amount of noise from the downtown concerts that comes through our condo windows drives me insane I have no idea how I'm going to  react to a crying baby 24/7. Blame it on my refusal to baby-sit much or my inability to understand anything little ones are saying but I don't consider myself a kid person. I fooled myself into thinking I am when we were trying to get pregnant, but now I'm wondering what crazy Leslie impersonator took over my thoughts at that time. Does the man upstairs realize how self-involved and high-maintenance I am? Because if he did I'm sure he wouldn't have allowed me to get pregnant. Sometimes I'm sure some information slipped through the cracks up there when the whole "should we allow that crazy Leslie girl to get pregnant" question came up. However, at the end of the day in spite of my lack of experience with children and my aversion to any noise I don't control I have to say we're SO excited to have a baby. It's scary, mind-boggling, and overwhelming but what an amazing opportunity. We love the babies!!
