It's been so long and so much has happened since my last post. We got to see baby bean again and he's doing so perfect. My OB actually said it was a perfect pregnancy which was so great to hear a couple of very frustrating appointments and a worrisome mama. By the end of this month we'll be able to see him another two times, once for a standard appointment and another for my anatomy scan at the perinatologists. Of course with every new appointment comes the added stress that they'll find something wrong followed by the relief that all is okay. I'm trying to take one appointment at a time and relish in the fact that I have a healthy baby growing inside of me that will join us in just 5 months time.
Aside from baby we've been incredibly busy now that we're new home owners again! Our houses closed on the 25th and 26th and we were finally able to move on the 3rd. Thankfully Babe was understanding enough with both our health that we hired movers making it the most boring moving day ever. I'm so not used to that. But 10 hours later and Babe and I were on, unpacking boxes and making this new home ours. It's been 5 days and we're doing pretty well with the transition. Babe by the way is a rockstar when it comes to home maintenance and I never know why I'm so surprised. It also bugs him that I am, sorry Babe, I don't mean to have little faith. It's just, that man can locate just about any problem, pick up a tool and with only a handful of curse words and a trip or two to Home Depot have it fixed in no time. He's definitely taking on the lion-share of housework/unpacking without one complaint after I ended up with swollen ankles and belly pain over the weekend.
And now that we've completed that hurdle, I've been taken off of the baby related purchase ban. Babe actually started it off by suggesting we stop off at the bookstore on the way home one day. He said he needed a how-to book for the house and suggested I look around for a new read for myself. Instead I walked to the very back of the bookstore to the children's section and set out to look for "My I Love You". Five seconds later E strolls to the same section to look for the exact same book, the real reason he wanted to stop. Of course I always ruin surprises and this was no different. Except that both baby beans mommy and daddy had the same idea for his first baby item and it was still such a sweet surprise.
With that I'll leave you with two of my favorite pictures from this weekend. The first is our new killer view from the back of the house and the second is the master bedroom accent wall which just happened to match my nail polish. I swear it wasn't planned.
