The Storm Cloud has Lifted!

My super sucky cold/fluishness is finally gone! I woke up on Saturday with little to no voice and have just went downhill since then! I had to close the daycare yesterday and today so I could get some rest, gotta protect the little one in my belly! Today I am finally feeling so much better! Not only are my symptoms pretty much gone but I am also feeling a whole sense of relief. This moving thing is really feeling like the right thing. I talked to our landlords today and they were so sweet and supportive and basically told us that we have been the best tenants ever and they are so happy for us. I have really been amazed at the amount of people coming out and showing support for us and our decision and it means the world to me. It helps to know that we have so many people who love us and care for us and think that we are doing the right thing. Thank You.

On a BIG positive note, we found an apartment! Once Ian and I decide to do something, we just go for it! We got an idea of apartment price ranges and areas and found one that we thought would be perfect. It seems quiet, away from all the college kids, has a playground, pool and basketball court, and most importantly, is about 2/3rds what we pay now! It is small, of course, but I think it will be perfect! I am getting so excited about being home with Zane and Rocky without all the stress of the daycare! I never in a million years thought I was going to be able to take more than 2 weeks for maternity leave, and now I can take as long as I want!! I am so happy!

More Good News! I found out today that my Mom and Sister are throwing me a baby shower!! I was really not expecting to have one this time, but after some convincing I realized that I could really use a day to just celebrated and be excited for this baby’s arrival! With Zane it felt like all I had to do was sit around and be excited, but this time there is so much going on sometimes I have to remind myself that I am having a BABY in less than 8 weeks!! That is pretty exciting! Speaking of Rocky, we are so unprepared for his arrival it is not even funny! Remember when I posted over a month ago about buying him a few outfits? Well that is all I have done!! Still no crib, burp clothes, diapers, nothing! I have got to get on it! I was really really hoping to cloth diaper this time around, so I have got to get all that figured out! (Not to mention convince Ian..)

We are starting the process of getting rid of a TON of stuff this weekend! We are downsizing from a large 3 bedroom house with a 2 car garage to a tiny 2 bedroom apartment with no storage space! We have so much to get rid of! We are having a garage sale this weekend, but we will probably end up having one more before we leave (in 5 weeks). We are also putting a ton of stuff on Craigslist, and I am sure we will end up giving a bunch of stuff away as well! There is a lot to do!

Did I mention I am super Happy? I am SUPER HAPPY!
