6 months and counting

So we've hit 6 months already and it feels like time is simply flying!! We have our first baby shower this weekend and I am super excited to get to see everyone!! I always have a hard time with these kinds of things though-those who know me well enough know I don't like to be the center of attention. I am so happy though because I found out a few weeks ago that my grandpa from Florida will be coming for a visit this weekend and his traveling companion, who I just love, is coming to the shower!! So fun!! It will be interesting to see how long the guys stay for ;-) though I am completely good with them going and doing their own thing, my mom (with good intentions to want to see her dad as much as she can) would like for them to stay. Let you know how it goes *wink wink*

Lizzie's doing great still. We had a check up last week and she was just movin' and grovin'. It's those long legs I think! When I asked the dr about her moving around a lot, she said something about how I probably wasn't feeling like a punching bag yet. Though true to it's fullest extent, I don't think she anticipated how strong Liz is right now for when she listened to the heartbeat, Liz kicked the mic and my doc laughed and said "oh! I see what you're talking about!" 

We can't wait to meet this little girl. She is already so precious to us, I can't imagine what it will be like to finally get to see what God's been up to. 

I do have an official mommy-mobile now. We weren't even looking for a new car since both of ours are doing just fine (Dave-ramsey-ing it as we call it). It was a total God thing though because on a Monday we found out about a van and decided to look at it the next evening but it sold before we could get there. We figured it just wasn't meant to be, plus we didn't really need it anyway.  We thought we ought to pay attention a bit more when another popped into our radar not 5 day later!! lol we checked it out and decided it was too good to pass up!! I'll post a pic later.

Other than that, life is pretty much "normal" (whatever that means)...
