He is almost here!!! Today I was complimented for being a very thin person to be expecting a baby.  I took it with a huge smile, glass half full people!  More like, my cup runneth over...life is so good right now.  And it will get even more exciting with our babe making his debut soon.  Jaylene sent us pictures of her "huge" belly, so cute.  She seems to still be feeling well at this stage, although she says her ankles have disappeared.   Each day we learn more and more what a GEM she really is, truly.  Yesterday she was making bathing mitts for us.  Okay, some of that was in procrastination of writing a paper but mostly it was self-less.  The other fantastic event that will be happening is that we are now able to move forward in adopting our 3 year old we have been fostering!  YaaaaY!  He is slowly starting to understand that a new baby will be joining us and that he will be a BIG brother!  Today at our church meeting there was a baby girl blessed and he kept wanting to leave our bench to go see the "white baby".  No reference to race here, just her dress : )

In more news, our ward boundaries changed today.  The Stake President created a new ward which affected all the old family wards except one.  It will be fun for me, many of my family members are within our new ward boundaries.  I don't know how the new people will feel about having many more extended members of the same family...we should build a complex or form our own township or something!  So, as of now, we are supposed to function in our old callings until April 10th.  After that we are released from them but could get a phone call in the meantime about something new. 

The basement progress - drywall mudding and texture is finished.  Tomorrow I will order some doors (amazing how many - 11 single and 1 double) so that Jared can experience the massive frustrating of hanging them.  It shouldn't be that bad, and we can always call an expert too.  If you've never tried it, I'm telling ya, it takes some kind of voodoo magic to do it well.  Then there's priming which isn't bad at all, we should be able to borrow an airless sprayer to make it go fast.  This will be ONE HAPPY WIFE if we get that far before D-Day.  Then we can slow down, do the trim work ourselves, paint rooms we want to use.  As if that isn't enough, it's nearly SPRING!  I am gushing here, don't know how I could be any happier and looking forward to what is ahead of us.  Yes, I know there will be some long nights and tiring days but that too will change before we know it.  So I'm just gonna enjoy the ride.
