I really do mean to blog more :)

Seriously, I do mean to blog more, I can't believe it's been over a month since I've blogged. So sorry! So updates:

Brandon started his new job and is really excited about the new opportunities and challenges in getting back into engineering. He definitely likes the people which is a definite positive. We will still have some adjusting to do when he starts traveling, but I think we have some good ideas about scheduling that.

BJ continues to grow- amazing, I know. He's actually growing out of his winter clothes, but we just keep putting him in them since the season is almost over. He's doing really well with potty training- rare accidents! He's scheduled for our 2nd try at a food challenge next week- hoping to clear him to eat baked goods with eggs and milk! Last time we weren't able to do the challenge due to his asthma wheezing at the time. Hoping he can be healthy by then (he has a cold now) so we can do the challenge. It was such a bummer to have to tell him we had to go bye-bye last time and couldn't stay to have "muppins with the special doctor, Dr. Dan."

My mom came out a couple weeks ago and spent the week helping us out- she basically single-handedly painted BJ's big boy room (Husker red with white and a black stripe)- and it looks really nice! Plus, it gave BJ and she more time to hang out- which I think they both loved. Plus, Brandon and I were able to sneak out for a night out- even overnight at a hotel while she was here- it was so refreshing- sleeping in (at least as much as we can now that we're old and parents!)

As far as pregnancy goes, BJ is going to have a baby sister! We're still working on names, but do have one we both like- amazingly. We're just letting it simmer for now :) I'm 24 weeks along- which is a nice place to reach- the age of viability (basically, if she was born now, she could survive- although we'd rather she cook for at least 13 more weeks :))

Here are some quick pics- we have officially lost our camera- so until we get a new one, you get cell phone pics, sorry!

The boys playing in a fort today:
