So...it's been about 3 weeks since we've known, but we've been busy, so this is my official post.
We all went into the room and the kids were both very curious.
Ultrasound tech to Spiderman after rolling over the genitals: How would you feel about a sister?
Spiderman, kinda disappointed, says what we rehearsed a thousand times: Well, I'll be the only boy. Ultrasound tech: How would you feel about a brother? Because that's what you're having!
Spiderman: YAY! I will share my middle name with him, let's name him (THOR)!
Baby doesn't have a name yet!
Batman likes Tristan Elijah
I like Liam Aaron
We are considering Aaron Elijah
We have a few more months to figure it out!
Spring break was two week ago and it really gave me the pause I needed to get a routine going. I've resisted creating a routine for so long because I dread doing the same things over and over again. But I came to terms with it and remind myself daily that nothing will get done if I don't do the routines. Thanks to a schedule, laundry hasn't piled up, not one dish has been in the sink, and we've been getting our homeschool goals met for the past two weeks.

The only thing that can stop this newfound freedom is really my own energy. I'm in pain. My pelvis limits me and now I have a pain in the middle of my back under my shoulder blades. I imagine my aches and pains will get more intense the bigger I get, but I'm taking it a day at time.
My mother and brother are coming on my birthday! My brother is staying the weekend, but my mother will stay with me for 3 weeks to help out. Can't wait. It's been difficult with the heart issues and pelvic pain and trying to keep up with two kids.
I will try to update more often since I have more valuable time on my hands. I finally feel caught up and on top of things. It's very satisfying!
