Where have I been?!

Where have I been? Where have I been! I've been moving into our new house, that's where! And no, I don't have pictures or anything since I've just been trying to simply keep my head above water here. :) But I think, finally, we're settled & getting into the groove of living here, and I hope to start getting some photos taken to share with anyone out there who's interested. (I know, Sooz, I know - they're coming!)

Even though we moved in on the 8th, we got a bit of a late start with things when, shortly following move-in day, my cold turned into a raging sinus infection & I became the lucky owner of not one but TWO pink eyes. Ick & ick. Far FAR worse, however, was the medicine given to me to knock out these infections. 7 days of eye ointment every 4 hours is unpleasant, to say the least; and a 5-day stint on a Z-Pack was enough to make me wanna curl up & die a little. The good news? They both did their jobs extremely well & cleared things up no problem. So, I'll focus on that.

With all the madness I've almost forgotten that I'm pregnant (I said almost...), and suddenly I'm about 6 weeks away from the big event & it still feels like it should be about 6 months away. Time has been passing WAAAAY too fast with this one; a list of things I have ready & things I don't would be horribly unbalanced (as in nothing vs. everything). Not to mention the fact that I'm starting to realize... I don't at all remember how to care for a newborn! This may as well be my first baby for all that I know. Hmm, this should be interesting...

Well I guess this'll be a pretty boring update without something to spice it up - so here's a picture of Emma this morning playing in Daddy's winter boots that she found in the closet.
She's having the time of her life getting to know her new home. Can't say I blame her, we're all in love with it! I think her favorite part is most definitely her new big-girl bed that she slept in for the first time last night - and she actually got to sleep & stayed in bed all night! Anyone who really knows Emma will recognize what an accomplishment that is for her. Tonight went even better; I have very high hopes about this. :)

Loving our new home!!

Oh, you're killing me! I've been checking daily for new posts and my heart leapt to finally see one. I scrolled frantically only to find - no house pictures! Oh, agony. But I did love the cute one of Emma. I can be patient. Trust me, I understand being underwater. Good luck getting settled!

I'm glad that you're so excited about your new home. There's nothing worse than getting ready for a move you think will be awesome to find out that the place was not all you hoped it would be. New homes are so exciting...new babies are so exciting...wow... you have one exciting life...except for the icky pink eye. Glad you're feeling better!

I can't believe when I say you you were like eight months pregnant. I had no idea you were that far along. For what it's worth you looked great! It was fun seeing you. I liked the reunion but I felt like I didn't get to talk to people as along as I wanted to. Good luck with getting settled and having the baby. You will love having two! Ir rocks your world for about two or three months and then it is almost easier. Chaney
