For Me For Life

Ok, so I realize it’s been forever, but I have to say, there is so much going on.  Here are some updates:

1)  We sold our house and bought a house!  We close on our current house on June 30 and close on the new house July 1.  WOW!  It all happened very quick and this particular market, that’s a lot to be grateful for!  I’m SO EXCITED about our new house.  It’s bigger (as it should be for our growing family) in an amazing neighborhood, has a swingset in the backyard…I’m just so excited!  It took awhile to find the house we wanted and we had to compromise on some things we were looking for, but I think we made a great choice!

2)  Our son was in the hospital for febrile seizures.  He had 4 in two weeks…3 of them within 24 hours.  It was absolutely horrible and something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.  My hubby and I are working very hard on our fear and worry…something that is just so hard.  Our kid is amazing.  You wouldn’t even believe he’s been through what he’s been through.  He had a final test yesterday and we’re assuming it’s just fever seizures…and we are learning how to work with them…and at this point, he may never have one again!  Whatever!

3)  I have gained an enormous amount of weight with this pregnancy and continue to work on not stressing out about it.  I feel ok, but I’m really exhausted.  I wanted to cry all day today, but managed to come home and make a super healthy dinner.  The weight will come off…and I can hardly wait to be done being pregnant…not to mention meeting this new baby!  Having an addition to our little family is totally worth it all!

4)  I love my hubby more than anything. He’s kind, supportive, and just generally amazing.  The man is in the middle of writing his dissertation and you wouldn’t even know it.  He’d do anything for me and I could not be luckier.

5) I’ve made an incredible contact with a potentially amazing job where we are moving.  I had a great first phone interview and I’m expecting to do a face to face next week sometime.  It’ll mean going back to work pretty soon after the baby is born, but it’ll be worth it.  We’ll have family around and my hubby is a huge contributor to this all, so while it’ll be hard, in the end, it’ll be great.  But who knows?  Maybe the job won’t work out and then it just wasn’t meant to be.

6)  When my doctor found out we were moving June 30, she said we could induce early June.  She said we’d talk about it as we got closer.  I was induced with DS due to preeclampsia and would rather not A) have that again and really B) be induced again.  BUT, if it gave me a couple of extra weeks that would be GREAT.  Things are going well with the pregnancy, so we’ll see….maybe baby 2 will just come on her own early!  That would be even GREATER!

So that’s it.  LOTS has happened, but generally I think I’m hanging in there.  I’m not sure what Roni is doing with the blogs and I’m wondering if I’m going to lose everything…but between the baby, the move, the new house and the new job, I’m not sure how much I’m going to be able to be here.  BUT I’LL BE BACK!!!  And I am still reading..and responding here and there!   Cheers to you all and I’ll keep you posted on all that’s new because it certainly stays interesting around here!
