Post of Updates

My house has finally settled into a routine of lovely anarchy. We recently acquired a kitten to add to our family's ranks. You know...because a newborn this September just won't be enough.

Meet Todd. He loves Zeeke and Zeeke loves him. These two will play together all day every day. Tucker loves Todd and Zeeke and Todd tolerates Tucker snuggling him, but Zeeke will still move away every time the poor kid is in the vicinity. The one and only reason Zeeke has to get close to Tucker is to steal food.

As for everything else, I've decided to answer a few common questions and make an announcement or two.

"How are you feeling?" 

I feel smaller with this kid than with Tucker. I'll post some maternity pictures in a few weeks for comparison. I can't do any dishes over my sink or else my back will go out and I'm unable to walk (since my belly makes me hunker over like Quasimodo). 

"Are you excited?"

This accident baby is still as unexpected to me as he was on day one of me discovering I'm pregnant. I don't think it'll really hit me until he's here. My mind hasn't grasped that it's real, so I'm not quite excited yet, but I'm starting to get a bit anxious. 

"Do you want anything?"

A bigger stroller. Otherwise, I'm set.

"Are you worried about Tucker with another baby?"

Nope! He's a mellow kid and may act up to get attention, but we'll just have to see how it goes. 

"Are you worried about Tucker and the baby sharing a room?"

Not one bit. Which brings me to my next announcement. 

Currently, David, Zeeke, Tuck, Todd and I are all squished together in a two bedroom apartment. Just a few days ago our apartment manager told me there's an opening in the three bedroom apartments just a hundred feet away from me and asked me if I'd like to fill the vacancy. The family that has been living there has been there for five years straight, so maintenance is going to have to get into the dwelling first and potentially fix a few things up, but we're looking at a rough move in date between late August to early September. During my summer seven week break (that's what we call the break between Spring and Fall semesters at BYU-Idaho) I get to go to Priest Lake, move and have a baby. So far I'm not stressed about anything but the baby.
