25 weeks

This past week has been pretty busy, but not nearly as eventful as the upcoming week will be. Mike graduates on Friday and his parents fly into Ann Arbor on Wednesday. Oh and let's not forget that someone, who is proudly wearing her big sister tank, is turning 5 that day. This past week Mike has been busy studying for finals in between pub crawls, trivia night, happy hour, and attending the Spring Gala. It seems surreal that this has been our last weekend filled with Mike having to study. It will be so nice to have him back on the weekends. It will also be so nice to have a house husband for the next 2 months. I've already started my list for him!
Another very exciting event was that we are now an Aunt and Uncle! My brother Mark and his wife Susan had a beautiful little boy named Ben. We are so excited to meet him in a little over a week when we embark on our whirlwind house hunting trip on the east side of Seattle. I have loved the daily updates I've gotten from my besotted parents and from Mark. The new parents seem incredibly at ease and are taking their new role, diaper explosions and all, in stride. I'm glad we'll have experts on hand when it is our turn.
So now I'm gearing up for another week of school, which luckily will only be a four day week since I'm taking Friday off to watch Mike graduate. I'm really looking forward to celebrating his graduation with his parents and a lot of extended Sprunger family. I'm sure there will be at least one ice cream expedition included!
This picture was taken of me before we attended the spring gala which was an MBA Graduate dance. We didn't actually dance, but we did enjoy the nachos!

Week 22-24

Okay, so I totally fell off the blog bandwagon in a big way. Sorry! But if it is any excuse the last two weekends I spent with my parents in Kirkland Washington and was out of my weekend blogging routine. Anyway, as I mentioned I just had my Spring break which I spent happily back in the pacific northwest. My mom and I found some great deals on baby things and managed to whittle down our list of nursery items. In a matter of days we bought the stroller, car seat, bouncer seat, crib, mattress, and bedding items.

It may seem that I went a little crazy buying things, but I think it is my way of making a little bit of order in our otherwise swiftly changing life. I never imagined that we would have so much going on at one time . One would think that having a child would create enough upheavel, but add to that wrapping up a school year, graduation, new job for Mike, moving across the country, and buying a new house, and all of a sudden life can seem very overwhelming. I really can't complain though, as all of the things that are simultaneously occurring are exciting and positive.

As far as baby Sprunger, she seems to be growing stronger and moving more each day. She definitely has opinions already. She enjoys the Beatles and anything sweet, but she does not enjoy being squished or poked. Oh and apparently 3 in the morning is a good time to have a dance party! I'm sure she will also enjoy being at her father's graduation in 2 weeks and being able to hear President Obama speak, though her memory of the occasion will most likely be a little fuzzy.

That is about all for now. And hopefully I'll be more diligent about keeping this thing updated.
