Really Bad Blogger

Alright, I know we have been awful at this, and we keep promising to do better. I think the problem was that I have not been taking responsibility for this task! So here I am, blogging.

What is new with the Carmichael's:
Well, as most of you know, we are having a boy! We cheated and found out what we are having. Everything looks healthy. All 10 fingers and all 10 toes! We could not be more thrilled. We have decided on the name Jackson David Carmichael for our little man. I am getting so excited to meet him! I have been feeling great so far. I am still working out, and just trying to adjust to the "extra load" that is only getting bigger as the days go on!
We have had so much fun starting to shop for little Jackson. Jason bought him his first pair of Carhartt overalls and a Patagonia sweater - it is so cute!
I have finally started to feel him move on a regular basis. I have been anticipating it since about week 10, and finally on mothers day I felt it and knew it was him! Jason still hasn't been able to feel him yet, but I am sure it is only a matter of days.

Jason is in full swing at work now. He has his full staff there, and they have already begun to run trips around Alaska. I just got a promotion with Wells Fargo. I am now able to work out of the Palmer branch, which is 5 minutes away from my house (verses 30 minutes), and I am now a business banker. I am excited about the new opportunity and the challenge it will bring. I think it will be just enough to keep me busy so that I am not constantly thinking about when I get to meet Jackson!

This summer promises to bring a lot of adventures, and sounds like a lot of visitors too! We are expecting Jason's grandfather in July, his parents and my sister in August and possibly our friend Greg in September - and then the baby will be here!! This summer is going to fly by... I can feel it already!

I wanted to share a picture of me, by high request,





















and here is the ultrasound picture of Jackson (isn't he cute)
