We have a doctor in our house!!

A doctor of Philosophy that is! I'm very proud to say that Brian had his defense yesterday and received approval from his committee. PhD down, Post Doctoral Fellowship to go. It's been a busy year so far, Brian was preparing for his dissertation, we finished up things around the house so we could put it on the market, and if all goes as planned we'll both be headed to NY. Until the house sells I'll be sticking around Austin, so please pray it sells soon.

In baby news, I can officially feel him moving! It's mostly at night, but I love to lay down and feel him kicking around. I've been told it's not so friendly fire towards the end, so for now I'm going to enjoy it =). Brian actually felt him the other night too. He had his hand on my belly and went, 'Holy crap, son!'. I laughed and said 'Did you feel him move?'. He said 'he didn't move, that was a donkey kick!'. It's nice to be able to share it together!

I'd have a picture to show, but my self-portrait session didn't go so well. It did give me a good laugh though.

While I'm thinking about it, all you moms out there, what are the things you are glad you purchased and what do you wish you skipped out on? I can't promise I will follow everyone's advise, but I will definitely take it to heart. You will know better than I will!!
