Move Successful!

Wheww!! it has been a rough couple weeks but we are officially residents of Oregon again. Well minus the changing of the drivers licenses, car tabs, and voting registration, physically we are residents of Oregon. I must say it is much easier to move back to a city that you have already lived in, I already know where all the good bars are! Even though I cant get anything fun and alcoholic at them! I have become a great fan of virgin Mojitos though.

we are settling into our apartment, well I am settling in to the apartment and kind of taking over the bachelor pad that it has been for the past month and a half. I have taken over the dining room table as my office and the living room couch has become the dining area, so it just feels like we are back in college a little bit. but i don't think that Adam or Nala mind much

It is amazing the things that you miss when all of your stuff is in storage. All I want right now is my stoneware cookie sheet. I never knew you could live a piece of cookware but i love my cookie sheet. you can cook anything you like on it and it always makes things nice and brown and crispy. so frustrating!! the idea of a fully furnished apartment obviously does not take into account someone who likes to cook. i know requesting a kitchen aid mixer might be a bit much but at least give me a decent chefs knife!

as far as the move goes we have done as much as we can, now it is a waiting game to see when our house sells. it is a constant ticking clock in my head because I would love to be in a new house by thanksgiving but at this rate just a bigger apartment would do! But there is no sense in worrying about it because it does nothing to help the situation. That has been my mantra over the past couple weeks and so far it has kept me from having a complete meltdown.

Baby update!
Jackson is right on schedule and my belly is steadily getting bigger. It feels like every morning there is more of it and it is a little shocking. Sitting up in a chair is starting to become difficult and uncomfortable for long periods of time so there has been lots of pacing around the apartment or going for walks. Adam has caught me in some strange positions on the floor over the past couple days and I tell him that sometimes you just have to spread out on the floor in order to get comfortable. I am totally lucking that it is football season so it is not too strange for me to be laying on the couch all day with food balancing on my belly. i can blame it on the football not being unable to sit up straight:-)

but we are about 11 weeks from go time. I know, it is starting to go crazy fast. I helps that I have been distracted by the move the past month or so but now everything is going to start happening really fast now. we have our first baby class in a few weeks and then it is getting everything prepared. i have heard stories about babies being a month early and after I past the 25th week my friend told me that at this point he could come at any time and be okay. I promptly told Jackson that his mother is very calendar oriented and I have things planned around his arrival of 12/12/08. now I understand that some things happen and he may have to change his plans for a few weeks before or after but to come any sooner than that is just not good manners and it is never to early to practice good manners. so hopefully we have come to an agreement that he wont try to surprise me.
