I'm back...

I'm back, but I don't know for how long.  I love blogging, but I just end up getting so busy I stop.

Well here goes nothing....

Since my last blog, SO much has happened!  So this is just a little something to bring you up to speed on what's going on with the Nelsons....

We moved to back to Illinois.  It's almost been a year since we moved!  I know, long time since the last post.  We stayed with my mom and dad while we worked on fixing up our house.  My dad did most of the work, but we were all working hard on it.  Just a few of our projects were restoring the wood floors, remodeling a bathroom, and painting everything.  It took about a month, and we were finally able to move in.

Kyle started school again in January, and I went back to substitute teaching at Delavan.  We stayed busy taking care of our house, going to work, and adjusting to our new life in Illinois.  Kyle still goes back to Raymore for drill once a month, and he is able to see his parents monthly.

We stayed busy in the spring going to graduations and seeing family.  We also found out at the end of May that we were expecting! (Due February 1st!!!)  We could not have been happier, but I could not have been sicker.  It was tough, to say the least. In July we moved into a new house, yes only a few months after moving into our other house.  We plan on staying in this house longer!  Hooray for not moving anytime soon!  I hate moving!

Kyle went to army training over the summer for 2 weeks.  We also went to Springfield, Missouri for a karate tournament and Kyle, Cole, and Kevin all did great!  It was tough to travel being sick, but I had meds from my doc that helped some.  Other than that, we did not do a lot of traveling this summer.  Being sick made it hard to do much of anything.  Finally, around 20 weeks I felt better!  I am so thankful!  We also found out we are having a sweet baby boy!  Kyle, my mom, and I went to the doctor and he was hiding for a while, but eventually the tech was able to see that IT'S A BOY!

This fall, Kyle went back to school and is still working, and I have been subbing more.  Baby boy has been moving like crazy for weeks now!  It is so weird, but he is getting stronger and it hurts sometimes!

The doctor says I need more rest, so I am doing my best to do so.  Hopefully getting back into the blog world will help me to relax/ rest more until February.  Mom and I went shopping yesterday and we found the cutest little boy clothes!  I was so excited because I haven't been able to find a lot of cute things for him.  Hopefully, I'll be better about blogging through the rest of my pregnancy!

Cheers!
