1st Birthday, Moving, and 29-week-update!

Hello everyone, it has been a couple of months since I have been able to make a blog, and SO MUCH has happened. First of all, we were able to buy a house! We closed on August 7th, which was awesome. Then we spent about 3 weeks "remodeling" things, which was really just cleaning, painting, re-doing floors, hardware, doorknobs, etc. The house is really coming together. We have most everything done now and most everything moved in as well. Haven't really gotten to decorating yet, but that is not something we HAVE to get done immediately. :) At the end of August we went back to Wichita, where we stayed for a week before Stephen left on his deployment. On Labor Day, Stephen left. It was pretty hard for me and Evelynn coming home but I knew we would press on, and we have. She was really attached to her daddy so it has not been easy, but the time is almost over now! We came back home, got a lot more unpacking done, waited to get our new screen door put in and our new furniture (we got a new bedroom set, mattress, computer desk, etc.) And then once we got everything done we had to and we got Evelynn's birthday stuff in the mail, we headed back to see our family. We stayed with my grandma for 3 weeks! That really made the time go a lot faster. :) Then, on October 6th we had a big birthday party for Evelynn!!! It was soo much fun. We did ladybug theme, and had a great turn-out of people so I was super happy. Evelynn knew the day was all about her and really enjoyed herself. :) Now we have came home and I am going through the process of trying to find a midwife. It is such a big pain! We have had issues with my OB in Wichita sending over my records and it has caused all kinds of problems. I FINALLY got an appointment with a midwife, which will be on Tuesday. This is the first I appointment I have had in 3 months, my last one was July 30th. Stephen gets home soon. We have a couple more weeks here that I am trying to get stuff done, and then we will go back to Wichita to pick him up and we will still have to stay there for another week. When he comes back he will be going back to work at QuikTrip, and just be reserves again. It will be a lot of adjusting, and we will need to get ready for baby. Josiah will be here in about 2-2.5 months! It is sooo crazy. So everything is coming up pretty fast. I am 29 weeks pregnant now and We have SOO much to keep us busy. We are excited to welcome our baby boy into the world and hope that everything goes smoothly. Wish I could go into some more detail at this point, but I cannot. I will add on some pictures for your enjoyment. :)
