It's official! Bill and I are homeowners! We moved in this weekend thanks to the help of our awesome friends Stephanie, Todd, Careyanne, Katie, and Belcher. Also, thanks to the help of our awesome families Jonna, Daddy, Linda, Momma, Nancy and Billy. Stephanie also was a big help with the painting. The Johnsons also pitched in painting the bebe's room and Andy was quite handy with the little fixes we had to get done. We couldn't have done it with out you all! Can you imagine...Bill would have to have done everything pretty much since I'm 7 months pregnant and have to take a break every 10 minutes. Yeah, that would have been a mess.
Our house is beautiful! Our rooms are blue, green and yellow. Nice and bright and welcoming! Franky and Lil' E are already right at home. They were a little nervous at first, but once they realized all of our stuff came with us, I guess they realized we'd be here a while. We have our living room, kitchen, and bedroom all set up. The other rooms still have boxes to be unpacked, but we're doing pretty good for just having moved in. Most of the boxes are filled with our library of books. We are doing that last for obvious reasons. There's no just putting them up on the shelf in this house...they HAVE to be organized. There are so many of them! I mean, hello, a women's studies and a history major! Can we say reading intensive?
This weekend I hope to get the beds and desk for the guest room. I can't wait to get it all settled and have folks over! Partay! We'll have to get the hot tub going too. I can't get in it until after bebe, but that doesn't mean our team of movers/painters/friends can't enjoy it! Today was the first day I made the commute from here to work. It wasn't all that bad. I just listened to the radio and relaxed. It took me about 30 minutes there and 38 minutes back. Not too bad.
Bebe is doing well! My belly is already in the way. I have to learn my limitations and take breaks when needed. We went to the doc last Wednesday and I had more blood work done. This time it was to check for gestational diabetes. Bill came with me to help distract me while they drew blood. I thought it would just be 1 vial....wrong...it was 3! She got me on the first stick which was amazing. However, I started to notice that I had been sitting there for a little longer than expected. When the spots came I realized it was more than one vial that she was taking. Bill just kinda smiled at me and then it was all over. I didn't pass out or get hot/cold so it was successful. That's probably the last time they have to draw blood, but the nurse did say I would probably have to get an IV when I go into labor. I want to avoid that if possible. I'm getting to the point where I can tolerate the blood work now, but having something hanging out of my vein, not cool. Maybe I can get around that.
Anyway, that's the latest update. Maybe now that we're all moved in to the house I will be able to make more frequent updates. Like,new pictures would be nice, right?
