The Evendens

Let's see, what's been going on around here?  

Well, we finally got the baby furniture all in the house.  We were so surprised by how NICE it is.  It's nicer than any furniture we have, we even thought about stealing it from the little guy.  Here are a few pictures, though pictures honestly don't do it justice.

We also got our stroller and our car seat, but I didn't take pictures of that.  We have also been throwing around names and this has been the most frustrating part of this whole thing.  We had a list going of all the names we liked, ya know just a short list of 30 names!  So the other night we played a game, Joe got to cross of a name, then I got to cross off a name, and so on.  We did this until there was only one name left.  That name was Cole.  I'm not sure how I'm feeling about it.  I need some comments, tell us what you think.

We've been taking the wild pup Bruiser to obedience school for the last six weeks and it's been really fun.  He's learned a lot of stuff and is better behaved though still the wildest in his class, tonight is his graduation and they have warned us to bring cameras because he will get his picture taken in a little cap.  I'll be sure to post.  Here a few random Bruiser pictures though.

As always this is the most frustrating part of our lives.  We found out that the house indeed is in foreclosure.  After things are finalized on Nov. 3rd I think they only have to give us 7 days notice to be out of the house...BOOO!  So, needless to say we have been hunting for a place to live AGAIN.  We have some options are are going to look at a another rental house tonight.  We have an apartment secured if we decided we want that, but are not sure we want to do the apartment living thing.  So, we keep looking.  We are however a little smarter this time around and are not looking to rent through a private owner.  The one we are looking at tonight could be a real possibility as it's in a nice neighborhood, the price is right, and there is an option to buy down the road.  We'll see.  We are planning on starting our move on November 1st.  So, we're so glad we took the time to paint the babies room and all of that.  

All is still well on this front.  Last time I was at the doctor she said I have LOST 17lbs!  I've really just changed up the way I eat and had cut out all sugar for awhile.  The doctor is not concerned at all because the baby is still measuring fine, right where he should be.  My sugars still continue to be normal as well which is great.  I am officially 28 weeks and I can tell that things are moving a bit fast now.  I can tell that I am bigger this week than I was last week, and I'm just starting to get more and more uncomfortable.  The only real issue I've been having is a lot of low back pain but I guess that's to be expected.

I'm leaving tomorrow to back to Michigan for a week.  This is the last I'll be able to travel before the baby is born so I'm living it up while I can.  Plus, it's the New Kids on the Block concert and I CAN'T miss that!  If you have no clue what I'm talking about click here.  There is also going to be a baby shower while I'm home and I'm very excited for that.  I'm excited for that because I'm not sure I would have been able to see everyone I wanted to while I was home otherwise.  Joe is a little jealous because he's staying here in SC and I will get to see all of his family at the shower.  He's also a little frustrated at me...something about mixing up flight times and booking a 5am flight rather than an 8am flight.  Ooops.  Yes, I did do that.  So we have to be up at 3am tomorrow to leave the house by 4am.  He then has a full work day.  Sorry husband!
