Major update

It's terrible that I haven't blogged in so long! It always makes me sad when I read a blog that hasn't been updated in months, even if it isn't a regular blogger friend. But here I am doing the same thing. I've thought about it off and on, wondering if I should officially quit blogging, but I think for now I'm going to hold on to it and do it when I can.

Anyway, the biggest update of all - I'm having another BOY!!!!!!! We're so excited to be expecting another boy on May 14. We've picked out the name Levi, but aren't publicly sharing it yet. It's not that it's a secret, we tell people if they ask, but for some reason I'm not ready to officially announce it to friends and family, put it on facebook, etc.

The pregnancy has been going fairly well. It's not as easy as it was with Evan though. I've struggled with depression and anxiety. I went off the meds around New Year's. Part of me is thinking about going on them again, even though it's the 3rd trimester. It's hard to explain to someone who hasn't been there, but I feel that emotionally I'm not doing very well. But enough about that! I don't want my first post in 4 months to be about depression!

We've decided on a rocket ship/outer space theme for Levi's nursery. I haven't started decorating yet. We've decided Levi will share a room with the office, not with Evan. But I still want to decorate it. Of course, he'll sleep with us for the first 4 months so it doesn't HAVE to be done when he's born, but I'd like it to be. We don't co-sleep in the bed, but he will sleep right next to my side of the bed in a bassinet. That's what we did with Evan and I really liked it.

Right now a friend is living with us and is staying in the office on an air mattress. She's been visiting her boyfriend the past few days so I had a chance to get in there and start some deep cleaning and organizing. When she moves out I'll start the decorating.

I will try my hardest to start posting more regularly now. And I will definitely announce when Levi arrives (hopefully as early as big brother Evan did!).
