School, Babies, What Else?

So, my little sister, Caitie, reminded me that I have not done so well in keeping up with my New Year's Resolution. Life has been a little crazy of late. We have two big announcements.
1, my eggo is prego for the 2nd time. It is still early on, but I am not so awesome at keeping things a secret. So, the due date is most likely the end of September. We are pretty excited. Unfortunately for me, the first five months of pregnancy are filled with exhaustion and nausea from am to pm. School has been a bit difficult with this arrangement, but I am hanging on!
2, Matt was accepted to 3 PhD programs in the past 2 weeks: University of Illinois in Champagne, Purdue, and University of Washington. Hooray for my genius of a husband! We are unsure of where we are going at this point, but our top picks are Illinois and Purdue. Matt will have two brothers out in that area, so it makes sense to be close to them. Also, Illinois is ranked #2 in the nation for Civil Engineering and Purdue is #7. Sorry to brag, but I am super proud of Matt.
Big, big, scary changes coming up. We are thrilled and scared! Now we just need to get our basement finished, our house on the market, and off we go in 5 months to the big unknown.
Madden is continuing to be adorable. Poor little guy is getting tubes in his ears on Wednesday. He has had 5 ear infections in the past 4 months. Hopefully we can get him feeling better and hearing better with these tubes.
That's life for us over the past 3 weeks!
