WE MAY have found an apartment!!!!!!
We’ll know more later this week, but if we did, that will remove a LOT of stress.
(And I’m sure it will add other stress…..like moving.)
OH! And Ash has started her last week at work!
(I am VERY excited…..she, not so much.)
She keeps talking about how she has to get things done, how she may need to work late, yada yada yada.
I say just leave it and let them figure it out…….probably why she’s a better worker than I am.
Three weeks to go.
I repeat THREE WEEKS TO GO.
Ash is now full term.
Dubs could, technically, come at any moment.
(Although I don’t think the baby will get here before the 10th.)
So many little things to do, but each of them feels huge.
Pick up the house, clean up Dubs’ room, finish packing the labor and postpartum bags, and tons of other stuff that I am sure I will remember later.
I am pretty confident that we get them all done in time, but let’s just say that the pressure is on.
A very quiet Shabbos. The Packers and Woodalls had dinner with Uncle Larry, Aunt Cindy, Jason and Evan.
And then the Packers and Woodalls had lunch at the Muhlsteins.
I see a pattern forming here.
It’s good to have Aunt Lola and Uncle Daniel nearby.
I’m sure Dubs will love hanging out with them.
Tomorrow is Dubs’ shower. Dubs is very excited about all the cool stuff.
(So am I.)
Now I’ll just have to find a place to put everything.
A new apartment sure would be nice.
First day with the new car.
Wow.
I am so happy with it. I’m pretty sure Ashley is, too.
It’s so nice inside. And that new car smell. Right?
I want to get rubber floor mats (we have the cloth ones now). I think that they will be needed.
Thanks again to our “car guy” Shimon Solomon from Custom Leasing & Sales. He really knocked it out of the park.
Now we have room to store the stroller, pack-and-play, diaper bag, dead bodies, and whatever else.
We had our work baby shower today.
Everyone was so nice and it was very sweet.
We also got a LOT of things!
Biggest on that list was our awesome new carseat!
Ashley and I (and Dubs) are EXTREMELY excited about this carseat and extremely grateful to all the people who got it for us.
Dubs also got some cute bibs, stuffed animals, blankets, onesies…a whole bunch of things.
This kid is already spoiled!
…weeks, that is.
Four weeks from today until Dubs due date.
One more week and Dubs will technically be full term.
I am not yet on high alert (even though it could happen anytime).
Ash hasn’t had any contractions yet so I feel pretty safe.
Over three hours spent driving around the neighborhood today to look for a new apartment and what do I have to show for it?
No apartment. (But I do have a nice tan on my left side.)
Seriously…..how is this so hard?
You’d think for $2000 we’d be able to find SOMETHING that matched what we are looking for.
PLUS, the car guy won’t call me back.
I was hoping to check off one thing today. New apartment or new car.
At least Ash and I (and Dubs) spent the whole day together. I love that.
People ask me “How do you work with your wife?” “Don’t you get sick of each other?”
Actually, I feel I don’t get to see her enough or spend enough time with her.
If it were up to me (and I’m sure Ash is glad it isn’t), we would never leave each other’s side.
She’s my best friend and I love every single second with her.
Gross, I know….but I don’t care.
Spent Shabbat in the valley with the in-laws.
Lauren and Daniel came up too.
(You were missed Jonny.)
It was very nice and relaxing.
Ash got some exercise and also some much needed rest.
We have an apartment viewing tomorrow.
Keep your fingers crossed.
One month to go!!!
(plus or minus a few days…..hopefully plus)
Cannot believe how close we are to meeting Dubs!
Ash is doing really well as she starts her last month.
Let’s hope this continues.
We go to the doctor next week. Let’s see if Dubs cooperates and gives us a good pic.
Ash hasn’t been feeling well.
Stuffed up, sore throat.
Doc said it was ok to take Sudafed, but Ash is trying some natural remedies before she tries the drugs.
Hope she can get some good sleep tonight; she barely slept at all last night.
I’m fine, by the way.
