Big News

I am fully aware of the fact that my blogging this spring has declined.  Initially it was because I was studying for the Bar exam, but then we had some other life-altering things going on in our lives.  So today, I'm finally going to share my big news with everyone.

For starters, the Texas Board of Law Examiners posted their pass list yesterday.  By the grace of God, my name was on the list.  It turned out that this must have been one of the more difficult exams, because the pass rate was only 65% as compared to other recent exams with pass rates in the high 70's or 80's.  But at least it's over.  I plan on attending the Dallas swearing-in ceremony on May 30, and then I can officially adopt the credentials of Esquire (although I prefer the sound of Nurse Attorney).  So officially, as of today, my 6 year trek of trying to become a licensed attorney is essentially over.  And my law license will forever hold today's date.  Talk about a weight off of my shoulders.

Now I can focus on my other life-altering news--the future birth of my 3rd child!  That's right, we're expecting baby #3 to join us in November.  And based on the way I feel right now, November can't come soon enough. 

My blogging, housekeeping, work, and every other thing in my life has pretty much been on hold as a result of my morning sickness and constant nausea.  I've spent the better part of the last few weeks in my bed praying that time would fly.  But as much as a I want to complain, I really can't.  I'm actually looking forward to a new baby, and I'm thoroughly enjoying letting my little toddlers take care of their mommy.  (My 3 year old actually mopped the floor for me today!) 

I will warn you that I'm not really into pregnancy photos, so don't expect a photo diary of my weekly progress.  Just know that I'm gaining weight, will probably start swelling as a result of the Texas heat in a few months, and am already looking forward to the day in December when I'll be able to slip into my pre-baby jeans!  And yes, later this summer we will be finding out the gender of our little one.  So stay tuned...  It looks like our little family is on a new adventure this year!  I look forward to sharing it with you.
