Life

well as we go along our little journey of doing all major life changes in the same 4 months we took a moment to pause and be thankful for what we do have. I admit I was become a negative nelly and was getting really annoyed that we have not sold our house yet and the clock is ticking on when Jackson is going to make his big debut. but this weekend while I was having a slight breakdown about wanting a bigger apartment for the time being and needing my own stuff we realized that we are really lucky that we are able to make all of these adjustments in our life and they are more of an inconvenience and annoyance than a tragic event. really this whole process is a good thing. we got to move back home at a time when we really want our family and friends to be close, we both got to keep our jobs and other than a few bumps along the way things have gone rather smoothly.
usually with big changes I find all of the reasons "why not" "or "cant because" first knowing full well all the positives that are out there. Adam, luckily, is the other half of this equation. "big change??Okay!! everything is sunshine and roses so lets do it!" so on some level we get each other to the middle ground of " this is the sucky stuff but here is how we can fix that and get to the fun stuff"
anyway my whole point is that change is kind of like a pair of jeans. You have to have them, sometimes you go through some uncomfortable ones that you swore were going to change your life for the better in every way but you were in one of those stores with the damned skinny circus mirrors, but other times you're not sure about it in the beginning but you buy it anyway and it turns into one of your favorite pairs.
I love bringing things back to shopping!!

Baby Update:
I am currently in my 32nd week and for those who have not been around pregnant people or are not doctors that means I have 8 weeks to go! Ekk!! Starting to freak out a bit but it is a good freakout.we are just excited to meet this little person we have been talking about and to for the past 7 months. We had another ultrasound last week to check and see how big he was because I am measuring a couple weeks bigger than I should but he is right where he should be at about 3lbs 3oz. I just have a short torso apparently. we also wanted them just to double check that he was a boy just in case the first one was incorrect but no worries he is DEFINITELY a boy. I even could tell and i am not a professional. Adam was very proud:-)
we have a few pics that we will scan and post soon. there are a couple that are so cute he had one little hand on his belly the whole time and the other scrunched up under his chubby little cheek. Yes he does have chubby cheeks already! so cute!! there is also a pic of his giant foot preparing to kick me right in the side! he is so grounded for that when he comes out. other than that news there is nothing else happening just a lot a prep and me folding and refolding his clothes.

Over it...

Can I just say that I am over pretty much everything right now. Here is a list of things I am sick of:
living in this apartment
of owning a home that I dont live in anymore and cant sell
politicians and the constant stream of BS
my bra digging into the top of my ever expanding belly
rain
the smoker downstairs
people parking in your parking spot
relocation companies
contractors who cant type up a simple document
finding out that I am anemic (no biggy just have to take an extra iron supplement but still annoying)

I think that might be all the things that are getting on my nerves today. these blogs are great for venting!!
Hopefully tomorrow I will be a little more pleasant, i figured I can have one or two rant days.
