After 3 1/2 years of staying in the same house (I know; a record for a Nickle) we're moving. Just ten minutes south. And I think I'm FINALLY starting to feel alright about it. It's taken quite a long time. We will be living in one of our fourplexes. We have a nice, good-sized apartment to move into. Downfall: no dishwasher. NOT COOL!!!!! When we can, we WILL be changing that. But, good things: floor plan. It sure beats the one our house has. One floor: this is good. I don't have to huff and puff while climbing stairs at seven months pregnant. Close-knit neighborhood: don't have to worry about people knocking at my door at 4 AM so hard that it about puts me through the ceiling from shock (yes, that did happen here). It's not too far from the hospital. Maybe a little farther from the other direction, but not too bad. That'll be handy come about December 17th. We will only be ten minutes away from friends and the totally awesome tenth ward. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ward I'm leaving and I have to say that it has been REALLY hard to leave them! And there are many other good things about where we're going. I'm FINALLY starting to look forward to this move. And we're moving tomorrow. So, it's a good thing that I'm feeling better now. I hope everyone keeps in touch and I'll try and keep in touch too. I am hoping our phone number will stay the same. I must say that moving while this pregnant proves to be quite the challenge. Jared and the guys (whomever happens to be here helping at the time) have moved everything. I haven't lifted a thing. A miscarriage will do that to you. Don't want to do anything wrong.
Our good friend, Stephen, is visiting us right now. Bummer that Sarah, his wife, couldn't come with him. But, it's nice to see him. He has helped out a ton ton ton today. We've sure missed him. Sarah, my kids are dying to meet you! We'll have to see how we can meet up again. Stephen has packed a ton of boxes and we took two van loads out today. Tomorrow, we have a few people showing up with trailers and we'll take all the big stuff. Thank you to EVERYONE for helping us! It'll be really nice to be moved in and have life somewhat settled. Stephen's parents, Martin and Cindy, will be here tomorrow night. (Here meaning ten minutes south.) It'll be really nice. I'm excited for a weekend away from life. I am hoping that it'll be that way this weekend. And if it's not, at least we have good friends with us to share it with so it's not so stressful.
I got my swine flu shot yesterday. I decided it would be not so smart to not have one in my system while pregnant. So, I went to my ob and got one. It has a ten day gestation period (does that make sense). I'll be good on Halloween night.:) BTW, does anyone have a purple or orange sweat pants set that I could borrow? Might as well take advantage of the large stomach for Halloween while I have it.:) I could be a really cute plum or pumpkin this year.:)
Better run. I need to get to bed. I've been BUSHED today! It's amazing the energy it takes to move and just survive while pregnant with so many things going on. I seriously haven't been this tired in a long time..... Later!
I was thinking last night that I needed to add you to my friends list on my blog and then I checked my e-mail this morning and I saw I got a comment from you! I wished that I could have come to, but my boss wasn't going to be here this week so I had to stay. Tell Stephen and the girls I said HI!!
ReplyDeleteWhat? You're moving? Where? Oh man, the 10th ward is going to miss you guys! Good luck with the new ward and stuff! Are your girls going to a new school?
ReplyDeleteMoving is hard. Being pregnant and moving is even harder. It was really hard for me. I hope everything all goes well. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything. I hope it goes well for you. Love you guys!
