our house is finally coming together...little by little, bit by bit. it's been a wild and crazy ride, but things are starting to settle down and become more normal, whatever that may be.
our apartment is mostly complete except for our shipment from cambodia which hopefully will arrive closer to the end of march. we also still need art work up on the walls, but some of that is in our shipment and a few pieces are in houston. the most important members of our family, the cats, are still in houston visiting with nana (my mom). they should arrive via friends late next week. i cannot wait. i miss them a lot, but i know that nana has enjoyed their company and crazy ways.
paul is settling into his job and finding ways to make it exciting for himself. he enjoys the folks he works with and seems to enjoy walking to work. it's been so nice to close to his work. he has a few projects that he is working on for otterball stuff, but that is winding down. he might do a bit here and there, but nothing too time consuming or stressful.
i am adjusting to being at home. it's been weird, but good. i feel so blessed to have a husband that supports my staying home. there are days when i don't do much and i feel guilty, but there is really nothing to do. i have cleaned, finished laundry and the dishes are all put away. i have been doing some reading, although the book i am reading is not gripping me at the moment. i have been working on crochet projects (read baby blankets) some as well. i go the chiropractor once a week which is in cool springs area (about 20 minutes from our house south on I65). on those days i also make a trip to target since there is a nice one on the way. i also like the tj maxx down there too. depending on errands i need to run, i usually organize them by area of town and make a larger trip of it. finding things/shops to check out in the area while i am out.
baby is doing well, as far as i know. i feel good. i need to do some walking on the treadmill in our fitness center to help with my lower back pain. the adjustments at the chiro have been helping manage my pain too. my sacrum likes to get out of line and than cause soreness. it's all that relaxin my body is producing to loosen things up, but it's starts so early that adjustments don't hold as long as they should. it's a bummer, but i am managing. lots of flutters and movement happening inside. it's a nice affirmation that our baby is well and moving. i go back to the midwives on march 28th and i will be 28 weeks then. not sure what's on the docket to happen at this appointment, but i am sure it will all be well. at the moment, we are trying to figure out a birthing class to take so we can learn about all the ins and outs of what we will happen or could happen. they aren't the cheapest in the world, so i have been doing some research to find a deal.
i am going to houston mid april for a visit. there will be a baby shower which will be exciting and my brother has a birthday to celebrate too. i cannot wait to see family and friends one last time before the baby arrives. we were able to use miles and get a deal on a plane ticket. this will most likely be my last flight before birth. crazy to think about that.
there are pictures up on my flickr site of our new place...i am working on catching up on getting more photos up. click here to see photos of our new place in nashville.
