so i'm not a great blogger

Somehow I just knew that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the whole blog thing. Most of the time I don't remember to do it and if I do remember I'm too stinkin tired from work. But all excuses aside, here I am now giving an update.
We had another ultrasound on the 24th and it was the big one. Our baby looks healthy and everything is going well. We found out after some pretending to be modest that we're having a girl. My father in law says it's going to be a girl because he didn't like the name we had picked out for a boy. So anyway.... our little girl, Lillian Hazel Fulop is still set to arrive January 16, 2010. I feel like the date can't come fast enough even though so many people tell me to just enjoy the ride I'm on now.
I have very little patience for things that I get excited about. We've been registering for baby goods and my 3 shower dates are planned. That's right, 3. I get one October 17th for the Fulop family in Toledo, one October 24th for the Fish family in Chesaning and then one November 1st for all my peeps in Kalamazoo. We've registered at Babies R Us, Burlington Coat Factory and Walmart. Most of our items are registered at Babies R Us. The registry ladies keep telling us that we haven't registered for nearly enough stuff. It's not all that easy to register. I don't want to seem greedy but wow, this baby is going to need a lot of stuff.
On another note, we have another nephew. Jakob was born last tuesday afternoon. I'll look forward to meeting him when my parents and Emmy and Jake come down here for a couple days in a couple of weeks. At least he'll be about 3 weeks old when I see him and not 3 months like it was when I had to meet the twins (Jack and Miranda.) I just got to meet them a week ago for their baptism. They were wonderful. I have great nieces and nephews... all 6 of them. We've got Connor who just started first grade, Grace who turns 4 in 2 weeks, Emily who just turned 3 and is learning about the adventures of being a big sister, Jack and Miranda who just turned 4 months, then Jake at 1 week. Pretty exciting that the next baby will be Lily.
Adam has been great. I'm only half way done with the pregnancy, but it's exhausting working 45-50 hours a week (i just finished a 7 day stretch and have a 9 day one coming up) and being a baby making factory. I'm very lucky to have a husband who is understanding and picks up some slack for me. He's been working on finishing up the room in the basement for the new office so our upstairs office can be turned into the baby's room. I'm very proud of him.
That's my news for now. Overall, not too much happening yet. I'll try to do a better job of blog updating.
