2 weeks until Moving Day!

Oct 2009

We are getting close to Moving Day! This weekend will be our last official packing weekend, so we have a ton to get done! I still feel like our house is way too full of stuff for people who are moving soon! We spent all last weekend packing and cleaning. We went dumpster diving for moving boxes and totally hit the motherload (motherlode?)!

I think we are pretty set on boxes!

We spent all day Saturday cleaning out our spare bedroom, and we are using that room to store all the packed boxes!

Zane decided his time would better be spent doing some modeling rather than helping us pack.

Ian was even so tired of packing he decided to join him!

By the way, I totally underestimated how hard it was going to be for my 8 and a half months pregnant self to pack! It seriously takes me an hour to pack one box, and that is not including at least two breaks. The process goes something like this:

1. Find a Box
2. Place Box on some kind of tall surface (I have trouble bending down too far)
3. Hobble around house finding stuff that is not to heavy. Pick up one thing at a time.
3a. Take Break.
4. Hobble back to box.
5. Place item in box.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until box is filled.
6a. Take Break.
7. Hobble around trying to find the packing tape.
8. Tape Box shut.
9. Hobble around trying to find a marker (Zane keeps stealing my markers and tape…maybe he is making a runway for his modeling…)
10. Label Box.
11. Hobble around trying to find someone to move box from packing area to the spare bedroom.
12. Take Long Break.

I am almost 35 weeks pregnant now and totally feeling it. Rocky has decided to assume the head down position, which is good, but he has placed himself at such an angle that every time I move his head hits something in my pelvic area creating a sharp pang that causes me to cry out in pain. Not so fun. We are so ready. Our countdown calendar tells us that there is 39 days until Rocky’s due date. And only 16 days until we move. There is only 15 days until I am done doing daycare, and I will only have kids here for 9 of them!! Yeah! I am so ready for this new chapter of our lives to begin.
