Moehring Sept Update

Only two months left. . . 🙂

I had a checkup today, I’m up 24 lbs. All my routine blood tests came back normal. Starting to get more tired toward the end of the day again. Our volleyball league is starting back up and I’m pretty sad that I don’t get to play this season. I’ve been going to the gym for some cardio and light lifting, just to keep my tone, hopefully that keeps me from going too crazy.

My neighbors convinced me that I should have a baby shower, but our theme is diapers. I think one of them just wanted an excuse to make cupcakes. 🙂 I don’t really need anything in particular since we are pretty set from round one with Hannah. For you out-of-towners, if you would like to participate, I’d welcome any prayers/words of inspiration/words of wisdom to put into the baby book. Yes, I do find time to work on scrapbooks, it just might take longer with two kiddos instead of one.
I’m looking at doing some maternity photos toward the end of the month, so will be able to send those out in our next update.

In other news, we have started an interview process to try to find a nanny. We looked at the costs for two kids in part-time daycare and realized we ought to be able to find a part-time in-home nanny for the same amount. Less germs, more personal attention. We’re not worried about our children not having any social skills as we find lots of opportunities for them to play with the neighbors and drag them with us to our stuff. We think this will be a fun new venture, as we will have to register for an employer ID with the IRS and have a whole extra schedule of forms to fill out come tax season. While I wouldn’t necessarily say we are business owners, we definitely have a lot to learn and do with the rental house and now an employee. 😉

We’re taking advantage of our last weeks of freedom before my doctor wants us within an hour’s drive of the hospital by taking a trip to see Nate’s brother’s family who just moved to Idaho. Should be a bit cooler than here and since the grandparents will be visiting at the same time, we hope to have a little babymoon without Hannah!
