Truman likes to spend a lot of time on the computer playing letter-learning games and watching Thomas the Tank Engine/Bob the Builder/this crazy penguin named Pingu. This means I spend a lot of time with a second browser window open checking blogs and looking for decorating ideas, and even I'm getting sick of looking at my last post.
I'm restless lately. I feel like I should be getting ready to move, but I have nowhere to put packed boxes unless I want to squeeze around them for the next five weeks. I'm feeling anxious about the month of July, for a few reasons: one, it sounds hard trying to pack and move and be fixing up a house amid four reunions; two, because Truman has been waking up anywhere between 4:20 and 5:40 am (never later, mind you), ready for the day. It's one thing to plop him in front of a movie with some Cheerios at my own house, but when you're traveling and staying with someone else, you have fewer options. I may be spending a lot of early mornings outside...
My mom says I'm an "anticipator," as in I'm always expecting the worst. I like to think it's being prepared, but maybe I'm just being a sourpuss.

Best birthday ever...and ultrasound results
I really ought to go into more detail about the amazing day I had yesterday, but this little summary will have to suffice:
Matt got up with Truman at 5:30 am and announced that he wasn't going to work; instead he had arranged for a sitter (thanks, Amy!) so we could go to the Salt Lake Temple. My first time. What a glorious way to spend a birthday morning. Then I had a gyro for lunch. How could the day get any better, right? Like this:
During dessert that night, we got a call from our realtor. The counteroffer on the house we love (and put an offer on last Friday) was just what we'd hoped for, so for my birthday we...BOUGHT A HOUSE. Matt says he never has to get me another birthday gift since this one was so expensive.
Today, in what I consider an extension of birthday festivities, we had our 20-week ultrasound. The baby was very active the whole time, and the tech told us again and again how beautiful and well-formed the brain, heart, spine, legs...wait, what's that? That's definitely a BOY. I was shocked, and still am, but thrilled that Truman will be getting a little brother. We got a great shot of him sucking his fingers, and I'm already in love.
But I guess that purple nursery in the new house will have to go.
