20.5 weeks! Sorry this has taken so long

I have been a bad blogger lately and have not posted in a while.  I started a new position with the school system that I am loving!  It keeps me very busy!  Morgan has also been training hard for his triathlon.  We have been taking salsa lessons and I have been doing a lot of kickboxing and zumba.  I never thought I would say this, but some days zumba kicks my butt!

BIG NEWS!  Baby William Morgan House III a.k.a Liam will be coming June 15th!  We were very eager to find out if it was a boy or girl.  Last week we decided to do a gender reveal party with our family.  We had the doctor seal the sex of the baby in an envelope and we took it to a bakery.  Secretly they injected the cupcakes with the color that matched the sex of the baby.  Trueloves bakery did a fantastic job!  We could not tell that the icing was blue on the inside.  We all gathered at none other than Mellow Mushroom of course for the big reveal.  As Morgan and I sat surrounded by our loved ones we bit into the delicious cupcakes and saw a blue surprise!  We could not be happier to be having a son.  (Actually he is kicking right now as I type!)

Shout out to my hubby!  Today I have to brag on Morgan who was sweet enough to clean the entire house.  It looks better than they day we moved in!  If you have ever been to our "house" you know it is not a house at all, but a tiny one bedroom apartment.  However, we are closing on our new house on February 14th.

Things I will not miss about living in an apartment:
Smelling last night's dinner for three days straight because the scents get absorbed in the old carpet
Hearing our neighbors conversations at odd hours of the night
Trying to squeeze two full wardrobes into the equivalent of a broom closet
The toilet that always runs and likes to explode at random times

That said, I know that this was a great time for me and Morgan, as we spent our first year of marriage here.  But I am counting down the hours until we move into the new house.

Bump-date:

How far along: 20.5

How are you feeling: Pretty great! I exercise daily and can still do 8 pull ups :)

Stretch marks?:  Not yet!

Weight gain: Normal, on schedule according to doctor

Baby movement: He is very active after I eat and at night, hope that is not an indication of how he will sleep when he is born

Cravings: Not too many, been eating pretty good lately

Mood: Very happy, not too emotional.  Morgan and I are doing great!  Enjoying our new Sunday school class

Looking forward to: birthing classes, shopping for boy stuff, and going swimming in the summer with my belly

Excited about: the fact that my body is not retaining so much fluid.  Check out my pictures from around Christmas time, my face was pretty puffy.  

Thanks for reading! 

- Love Morgan, Emily, and baby Liam!
