24 Weeks, School, and a house

Wow! Sixth months already! I definitely feel (and look) six months pregnant now. The baby is still very active and although I enjoy feeling her movement, she is definitely starting to get a little stronger. The book says that the this month will likely be her most active, while she still has the room, so I think it is going to be a fun month! We started looking at Babies-R-Us last week and are hoping to get our baby registry started soon. I find it completely crazy how much stuff there is out there for babies. Now I think the challenge will be deciding between the "needs" and the "but that is just so cute we have to have it"s.
School is still going- I have a class finishing up next weekend and then one more before taking the summer off. I find my motivation slipping and unless the assignment is very interesting, it is taking a lot of time to get my work done. I am hoping the next class is REALLY interesting because it is going to take some magic to get me through the end of April.
As if preparing for a baby and school wasn't enough, Cory and I are in the process of buying our first home. Things have been moving very quickly and smoothly so please keep your fingers crossed that they stay that way. If all goes as planned, we will be closing March 15th.

Things that make me happy about getting our first house:
* A giant backyard for the dog to run around in
* No more required 5:30am dog walking
* A garage
* No one living on the ceiling anymore
* The walls are not all white
* No more required 11:00pm dog walking
* Not sharing a hallway with stupid people
* The ginormous driveway that puts us back from the neighbors so it is almost like we don't have any
*Being able to open the back door and let the dog out
* Having an amazing deck that will be big enough to have people over and everyone will have a place to sit
* We will be closer to our niece, Cadence, so she can come over more and will be able to play with her new cousin in a few months

While these next few weeks are going to be crazy, I can't wait! Pictures on everything to come in the near future :o)
