We’re Baaaaa-aaacck….

Ok, so we’ve been horrible blog posters and haven’t updated in almost 2 months… between Jordin in Kindergarten and homework and soccer and work and prepping for the arrival of Max, we haven’t had much time to update our little corner of the blogosphere…

So this one is a bit of a catch-up post, and we’ll follow it up with some pics…

We’re really gearing up for the arrival of baby Max.  We’ve installed hardwoods downstairs, along with bookshelves in the dining area – that allowed us to get rid of the big shelf system in our room. We also broke down the big computer desk and just kept one small size.  That’ll allow us to scoot our stuff over to one side and have plenty of room for the nursery.  We’re going to start the repainting this week.

Jordin is doing great in Kindergarten.  He has tons of friends and is really popular – every day when I pick him up a bunch of different kids always tell him goodbye, and when I ask who they are, he always says “I don’t know them” – his teacher adores him and he’s really loving homework – most of the time we do all of his homework for the week in one day…

Ashley is doing really well – getting bigger by the day.  Little Max is really active, except for when I touch her belly.  It’s pretty funny actually – he’ll be kicking away, but as soon as I put my hand on her tummy to feel, he stops – then as soon as I take my hand away, he goes to town again.

We’re three weeks in to our Bradley Method classes… for those of you who don’t know (which is probably everyone, as it’s not that well known), it’s a natural childbirth method.  We’ve decided that we are going to try for a completely natural child birth (yep, no epidural).  The classes are teaching us relaxation methods and different ways to handle the labor without drug intervention.  We’re also hoping to have a water birth, as we feel that it’s one of the best ways to bring little Max into this world.

Greg’s doing well with his job – he’s really enjoying his new position as Director of Media and Marketing.  His company is really flexible on the hours he works, allowing him to come in at 6:30 am and leave at 2:30 – so he still gets his 40 hours in, but he gets to pick Jordin up from school every day.

That’s about it for the broad-view catch up post – next up, some fun pics…
