one month later…

and my life has changed…or at least to the outside world it has changed. I’ve known that I was pregnant for months…or so it seems. I didn’t really want to talk about it or think too much about it until the doctor confirmed it. Even after he confirmed it I wasn’t incredibly eager to discuss it. I’m not exactly sure why…maybe because I have months and months to live with it and then my entire lifetime to parent it. I’m not sure that’s all of my reasoning or any of it. It was nice to just to be me, or Jimmy’s wife, someone’s friend, Allee’s mom…I know that will all too soon be my life again and am trying to just enjoy this…as much as you can enjoy an ever-expanding waistline.

Other news has consumed our lives too…we’ve found a seller for our house and a house to purchase. As long as the hurricanes continue to spare us, we should be in our new house on the last day of the month. It’s been a whirlwind of phone calls–inspectors, mortgage calls, insurance calls, movers, a/c people, etc… I’ve also started thinking of all the wonderful things I want to add to or change about the house…dreamed of the family gatherings we’ll have and the pool we may put in when we’ve saved enough money…

It just struck me that the new baby will never know the house I live in now…will only know the new house. hmmm.

Last week we lived through Hurricane Gustav. We were without power for days…it got hot and a little uncomfortable, but we made it. Allee was a champ–she never whined and just treated the entire thing like an adventure. I could seriously take a few pages out of her book. Luckily, we emptied our fridge and freezer prior to the loss of power so we didn’t have to deal with the funk. Luckily, trees did not fall on either house. Luckily, my family and friends seem to have made it through the storm with little damage.

I’m ready for a little normalcy.

I seriously need to hit the gym

I very seriously hate pregnancy-induced heartburn.
