and things keep moving
June 25, 2010UO is well over 8 weeks pregnant now. Our first OB intake is next Wednesday. I’m nervous. I’m sure everything is fine. She feels like shit. Nausea all the time. Headachy. Heartburn. Cramping. She’s irritated with everyone and everything but still (mostly) likes me.
The fact that every day that passes this becomes more and more real is crazytalk. We talk about names. We pray together every night. We’re so scared/hopeful/amazed. Probably will be…forever.
Thinking about where we want to be. We looked at a house in our budget that needed way more work than we could ever afford to do in the time we needed to do it in in order to be settled by the time the babe is here.
So we’re gonna stay here for a while and keep our dreams of state south of here been put on the backburner. But as much as I love our apt – we don’t have a washer and dryer. We don’t have a yard. We don’t have a lot of things that having a house would afford. So. Yeah. Married. Baby. New house – all within months of each other.
Ambition.
If we moved with a newborn, I’m sure you’ll pull it off (BEFORE the newborn). all so exciting!!!
I moved into first house 7 months pregnant with Bliss and moved country and into second home 8 months pregnant with Soul. Soooo excited for you all!!
My two absolute requirements for new baby– washing machine and dryer located no more than 1 floor away (and even that kind of sucks) and a bathroom w/shower on the same floor. Lived without a shower (except in the basement) for roughly 3 months after S was born, and holy hell it sucks to drag a newborn and her accoutrements down a flight of stairs every time you want/need a shower. Then again, I was living alone so there was no one to watch the baby upstairs for me while I did it.
Good luck in your search!
i’m so glad you are back writing and am so excited for all this wonderfulness (even if that isnt a real word) in your life!
