I'm not quite sure why we decided to build a house, have a baby, and finish school (for me, Dustin finished a long time ago) all at the same time. All of these come with their own headache.

Sorry these are old. The framing is actually almost done now! And it was really bright outside so I couldn't tell what I was taking a picture of. So I cut off parts of the house in both pictures.

First off, the actual house is going very smoothly. Dustin and a few guys from Carter's did all of the dirt work, the foundation, and the basement walls. Then the plumber was supposed to come and never showed up. So we just got a new one who happened to be better and cheaper, yea! But that did set us back a few days. Then the framer said that he was a week late, and then he called after that week and said that he was another week late. It just so happened that the job Carter's was supposed to be working on that week had some huge issues and it wasn't ready for them yet so they just stayed and started the framing. So that also worked out well and saved us some money. The main headaches come from the bank. Most of the people at the bank are really nice but they kind of act like they have never done this before.

Then, yep! We are going to have a baby in February. I haven't even been close to as sick as I was with Trevin. It has been pretty manageable except for the horrible headaches! I had one last week that lasted for days. I feel like I am living in a really small house and keep hitting my head every time I move. The pressure is unbelievable, so I have to sleep in the recliner to lessen the pressure. But I haven't had one for two days, maybe I'm done with them. Cross your fingers!
.
And finally, school (eww, at least this is my last semester). Everything was going great until school actually started and I found out that my online math class was canceled. So now I have to actually go to a math class everyday! Plus the class is full so if I get there late I have to sit on the floor! I also had to add another hour a week to my schedule for one of my classes that requires that you volunteer for so many hours (which really isn't that bad, but still it is time away from my little guy). It is so hard to leave Trevin everyday for so long. I don't have class until the afternoon on most days but I still hate leaving him even just for the afternoon or an hour in the morning. Luckily my Mom and Dustin's Mom are great about watching him. Trevin heard everyone talking about going to school and all of a sudden realized that he wasn't ready for school to start because he didn't have a backpack. So we hurried to the store and bought him the cutest little Spiderman backpack. We filled it up with books from the Library and a bunch of really cheap school supplies. Now we can't leave the house without it. He keeps saying that he is going to go to the big school with Laura when she starts kindergarten, he is not going to baby school.
.
Apparently all of this going on is is pretty hard on us. Almost every night for the past month Dustin has fallen asleep on the floor before EIGHT. Building a house is hard work! And right now poor Trevin has the stomach flu, for the first time, and has been throwing up all night. Right now he his asleep on a pillow on the floor in nothing but his diaper. Poor kid!
.
P.S. Trevin is the cutest talker ever! He learns new words everyday, and he says the funniest things like, "Oh, my, gosh!" I love it. I can talk to him for hours.
,
P.P.S. We love Popsicles right now. I especially love the big mango-cherry ones. I don't know why but Trevin calls them "Frat-frut." I guess he thinks that is close enough to "Popsicle."
