Akers

Hiya ladies,
It never seems like too much is happening in my life, but when i look back I realize i have a lot going on and it's all just little stuff.
So I'm almost 32 weeks now, and feeling quite large. Chris and I no longer both fit through the hallway at the same time. I used to squeeze by him without thinking about it. Nobu can't crawl on my lap anymore, he gets frustrated by the lack of space and ends up instead taking his guardian pose right in front of me. It's a challenge to get out of bed, but surprisingly I'm still sleeping really well. I'm still mowing the lawn but have given up on weeding the flowerbeds. They will just be ugly and unkept this year. Joseph's room is almost ready for him. It's amazing how the nursery evolved into a toddler room without me even realizing it. I just have to put Joseph's name on the wall and remove Megumi's. Little boy clothes line the closet and it looks so strange in there without all the pink. I am losing energy FAST. During Megumi's nap time i have also taken up napping. It's nice, except that nothing else gets done.
My hours have lessened at the office (from home, still). So I've taken up helping my mom with her craft business as well. I continue to sing and play keys for the worship team at church, and Chris and I still help out with Jr High ministry.
Megumi is a very social 18 month old! She says "hi" to everyone we meet and loves playing with other kids. Her favorite toys are puzzles, babies, blocks, and books... in that order. She LOVES being outside, and i finally found a little sun hat for her. So we will be spending more and more time outside and in our little kiddie pool. She adores her grandpas and grandmas, and has all 4 of them wrapped around her little finger. This last weekend I was out near Bloomington, IL with my cousin and aunt. Chris had daddy duty. And Megumi got her first stomach bug. I can't believe i wasn't here for that! But, it proved to be really good for Chris and Megumi to bond. They are in-separable now. I feel like chopped liver when daddy is home :)
In 2 weeks we are headed down to Arkansas for Jaren's wedding! I'm really excited, except for the drive...
see, really nothing exciting going on with us!
