Happy February!! Cannot believe we're already into the second month of 2012. Where does the time go??
Well this month is going to be a bit crazy for us due to a mid-month move and Shane's transition into the Reserves. We recently found a cozy, but spacious home in northwest Sacramento that will meet our changing needs. Although we're extremely sad to leave our quaint city of Benicia that has truly become "home" for us, we're looking forward to our many new beginnings.
Starting February 15th, our new address will be 3191 Doroteo Way Sacramento, CA 95833
In other news, we finally starting purchasing baby items for Baby Evans. Shane's grandma was out for a visit and introduced us to her former employer, Kids and Cribs. We found a lovely convertible crib and three drawer dresser, as well as decided on a jungle theme for the room.
The crib converts to a twin-size bed, so this was a long-term investment.
Gifts that inspired the jungle theme.
Funny tidbit, but I received a giraffe stuffed animal (Georgie) from a dear friend of mine about 20 years ago. Georgie is still in great condition and sleeps with my 27-year-old-self every night. He has even lived abroad, as he came with me during my time in South Korea. Shane constantly asks when I'm going to "grow up" and not sleep with him, and I used to say when the baby arrived because I'd pass it on to him or her. However, for Christmas my mom sent a new giraffe, who she called Georgie, Jr. as a gift for Baby Evans. So what does this mean for my overgrown childhood habit? It will continue on and I get to keep Georgie, Sr. as my own :)
Georgie, Sr.
Hmm... what else to share? Perhaps that the doctor told me today at our appointment that Baby Evans and I are doing great! We're at 25 weeks (and a few days), and everything is as it should be. However, I am being referred to a physical therapist to help treat my flares of sciatica. I've experienced issues with my sciatic nerve prior to pregnancy, but lately as my tummy grows, the battles have become more frequent and severe. Thankfully I have such a loving man by my side to give me back rubs and to tend to household chores I can't do these days.
Last week (start of 25 weeks)
Today at 25.5 weeks. Can't believe the third trimester is right around the corner!?!
Finally, we've nearly pinned down baby names. If it is a girl, we will call her Kylie Rose, and if it is a boy, we've decided on Aaron (Lee). The middle name for a boy is still in the works, especially since Shane is determined to pick boy names that create fun initials (A.L.E sounds about right for us, huh?!?).
Well that's all the news I have for now. Hope you all are doing well and enjoying these winter months. Please feel free to shoot me an email with an update of your world. And know you are all greatly loved and missed by the Evans household.
Take care,
The Expanding Evans
You better start buying extra Georgie's on ebay because once the kid gets older, they will start getting lost. I think we are on B.B. number 6 for Brooke. It is a little pink bear she got when she was born. At one point we had three of them because we actually found a couple she had lost! Had to always keep two of them hidden.
