Where did September come from!?

Hello everybody!

It is a beautiful day in Myrtle Beach and I could not be happier!  It has been great to see some old friends and just relax in this gorgeous sunshine.

I am feeling so blessed to be on this SC vacation.  Brandon and I took a trip to Chesterfield for a few days to see Elizabeth off it Italy and then celebrate Joshua turning 2 years old.  It was such a nice time.  One of the days we were shopping I bought a pair of sketchers Go Walk's.  I am obsessed.  They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned.  To me they are absolutely the epitome of "mom shoes" and as a huge shoe enthusiast, I told myself I would NEVER... but then I tried them on and changed my mind.  Probably forever.  Everyone should at least try a pair on - even though they aren't necessarily the cutest shoes you'll ever see.  Gimme every color ;)

So Brandon has started selling things on EBay!  He's already sold something I think and it was literally only one day!  I think he is really glad and hopefully he can get some other things sold.  I know he has a few more ideas of things to sell but just hasn't been able to list them yet.  You can check out his listings by going to ebay.com and search for the user jbdougla92

I started Grad School with UKY about two weeks ago.  I've got to say, grad school is NO JOKE.  I have never once has so many assignments at once.  I am only enrolled in two classes and I have more homework than when I had over 20 credits in my undergrad.  I really do enjoy my classes though and the material is very interesting.  It's still almost impossible to believe that I will have a masters at the end of this program and have an almost two year old.  Please let me be a little kid again?  Just kidding - I am so excited and feel so lucky :)

I do not have a new baby bump picture for this post, but I am constantly growing.  Little One has definitely found his way to moving his little toes in between my ribs.  That is not the most comfortable thing I can assure you of that.  My worst symptom has been heartburn.  It is pretty much an every night thing now.  Sometimes I even have to wake up in the middle of the night for another tums.  I am not the biggest fan of that but I'm just trying to take it with a grain of salt.  My craving is still root beer.  I literally want it all the time.  I am doing pretty well avoiding sodas though.  I hope my will power will be as strong when I don't have this little baby and I try to get back to my pre-baby weight!

As our count down keeps getting smaller, my excitement is growing.  I can't believe there is only 71 days left until the due date.  And now it's less than a month till my baby shower!

I am planning on making a picture post after we get back from vacation with a few of things we did.  Hope everyone has fantastic week.

P.S.  Have these past few months been flying by or is that just me?!
