House!

So we did get our house! Signed and everything. James has been working his ass off for the past few weeks getting it ready for us to move in. There is still a few weeks left of work but he is plugging away, as we speak. He is so amazing, such a hard working man! We are so excited to move in we can hardly contain ourselves. Korbin too :) Jersey, not so much. She's been over a few times while James is working and all she can seem to do is whine about it. Silly dog, she just doesn't realize that there is going to be carpet for her to lay on! I can't wait to put pictures of the final product on here. Soon....

Here are some newer pictures of Korbin, he's growing so fast! Of course, I know I was warned but you can't prepare for this sort of thing!

About the House

We are still going for the same house... just a different route. Things are looking good this time around though, we should be closing the deal by October 8th! Then we can start cleaning and remodeling! I can't wait to have a carpeted floor to put Korbin down on, he is going to love it. And Jersey too, being able to lay down anywhere and be comfortable. Right now, if you don't know, we live in an old milk barn with all concrete floors. There is some carpet in our room, but not the kind that you put your baby on. We already have new appliances bought and ready to put in as well, a dishwasher among them! Woo hoo! Korbin will have his own room too... not that he will be in there by himself for awhile anyway, but it will be his space. I am just so excited but I can't be yet... not until everything is signed and we can really call it Ours.

Labor Day

Labor day was just that, my labor day. Korbin James Aaseby was born September 7th 2009! My water broke at 5:30 in the morning and he was born at 9:31. Not the planned birth, of course. He was breech so I had a cesarian section. I got to 4 cm dialated though! He is so amazing, it really doesn't matter how he came into this world, just that he's here. He is a sweet sweet baby, my little champ. He was 19 1/2 inches, 7lbs 10 1/2 ounces, he scored a 9 on his apgar and wrapped his mom and dad around his finger with one look. I never knew how easy motherhood would be for me, but it feels great, and James of course we had no doubt how he would be as a father. It's like we've known him our whole lives. He just fits.

The Waiting Game

We are now playing the waiting game... waiting for our house to either come up as a bunk deal (if we find foundation problems) or to finally come to a close and we can move in! I am also at the 37 week mark, so we are waiting for Korbin to decide that he is ready to see us! I won't mind if he waits till September 18th! Just because I really want to move in to our (possible) house. Also I've heard the longer the justational period the less often a baby spits up.... just what I've heard but that sounds good to me! Tomorrow is our last Lamaze class, thankful for that. It has been such a big help though, I feel ten times more relaxed going in to these last few weeks knowing what we learned from it. I know James feels better about everything too. Our bags are packed for the hospital, our house is sparkling clean with all his clothes washed and put away, and we are ready to wait :)

Camping

James and I were able to go camping these past few weekends! The weather has been perfect for it. We went to Dworshak both times, actually we just left our tent up and cooking totes there with James' parents while we went home for the week, and were able to come back on the second weekend ready to camp! Somewhat cheap, yes. Jersey of course had a blast. There are a few people that we tend to see quite a bit, Tina and Allen and their dog Tuff, Jersey's mother Moe as well as the biggest goofiest dog I've met named Sid with their owners Tammy and her daughter Ashton, Dori and Tony of course with IB, and you get the picture. Eight more adults, three more kids and at least four more dogs, lots of fun for everyone. James sang and played his guitar most nights we were there, by request every time.... he really is amazing and its so fun to hear a whole campground tell him. He was very entertaining but we saw no fireworks. Bastards. I got a fairly good tan, burnt my belly a little bit, but I was excited for the color. Everything is so stretched out it looks transparent sometimes! But no more. I love camping. I love swimming. I love camping with James. Its so relaxing and comfortable. We have quite a bit of gear with what we individually had put together. We make a good team. Its exciting that we will have a 10 month old or so for the next fourth of July! I hope that he likes camping with us, well I guess he is ours so he has to right? No, but I will still hope. Two months and he is here! Holy moly.

First of, I hope, many

This is the first blog by Whitney Aaseby, wife of James Aaseby :) We have been enjoying life together for over two years now and things just keep getting better! We recently had the wedding of my dreams, April 25th. Not a thing went wrong and let me tell you, the pictures are perfect, just like it was. We are having a son and naming him Korbin James. I am 7 months along now so just a few more and we will see his beautiful little face! I will put a picture up on our new blog. We have recently found a house for us to live in and are in the midst of signing the paperwork. Hopefully we can call it ours before the end of July. Our house. Oh, that will be a day! I'll blog about it ;) That is all for now. I hope to have pictures up and to make this as fancy and entertaining as my sister Jaime has made hers. Hers is the inspiration for starting one of my own up. She has an amazing family as well and I love to hear about all the fun and crazy things that happen so far away from myself. It really is a way to stay close. So heres to you sister! Keep me on top of this!
