Baby shower @ 36 weeks

It's been a little bit since my last post. I hit my 36 weeks mark today so that's good news. I'm hoping that this coming week is the week she'll be ready to come. I have to admit I am getting a little anxious about the whole thing. Not about the delivery or anything..more about WHEN it will be. I am really excited to have her join us and the thought of weeks more is just not working for me.
Anyway, my baby shower was today. It was a lot of fun. There was a really good turn out and lots of fun stuff to open :) Girl stuff is so new to us, it's great. I put everything in organized piles a couple times and then decided I would wash all the clothes to get them ready. I got a couple doubles of things so I went to Target and exchanged those for a few things I neeeded and didn't get. I can't complain one bit, I really made out well :) Well, Aris did ;) It's just a lot of fun opening up all the presents. I really so have some of the greatest friends.
So, in case you weren't aware, the sale of our house was approved by the bank about a week and a half ago. The buyer had their inspection done last week as well and the apraisal so now we just wait for the lender to get everything. We are scheduled to close on May 5th. We'll be moving in with my parents until we know what we are doing. (moving back east or remaining in Tucson) We started packing up stuff yesterday. It's pretty crazy to think of all the changes that are hitting us right now or will in the next coming months. We're having a baby, selling out house & moving in with my parents, flying back east for vacation, hopefully having some interviews and possibly moving back east or atleast moving into a new place here. Justice also starts Kindergarten this coming year. There is just a lot going on. I'm trying not to get too stressed out.
Well, thats the update for now. Hopefully the next one will have pictures of Aris in it :)

Busy week

It's been a busy week so far. I had my appointment on Monday. Everything went well. I didn't get "checked" like I wanted to see how far along I was. Dr. Dunn didn't want to stir anything up. She wants me to get to atleast the 35 week mark, but hopefully 36 or later so she isn't going to check me until after 36 weeks. What a bummer. Oh well, I know it's best for the baby to remain where she is as long as possible, but I'm just not use to waitin, not to mention I am getting bigger by the second. I gained 8 lbs in 2 weeks! I can honestly say it's mostly the baby because I have only gotten bigger in the stomach. This is what always happens. I don't want to deliver a 11 pound baby like my Mom delivered me. Yes, I was 11lbs.
Anyway, enough complaining, bottom line is I'm just ready to have her. Anyway, state survey came into my work on Monday afternoon about 10 minutes before I was about to leave. So instead of taking it easy this week like I was told by Dr. Dunn, I ended up working until 11pm last night and then another 9 hrs today. It's so busy during survey, but I am pretty happy they came in before I went on maternity leave. Hopefully they will exit tomorrow.
The boys are doing good. They are feeling a lot better finally. Greg seems to be feeling better too. He caught what the boys had the end of last week and was sick all weekend :( He is in limbo with work right now. TUSD (school district) issued almost 600 pink slips yesterday to teachers they were letting go after this year. Greg didn't get one, but only because he isn't a contracted employee. He most likely won't have a position next year since the district is on a hiring freeze. I'm not really worried though.I feel like we'll be fine. Something will come up and I am not in jeapordy of losing my job so we have some security there. We are continuing to look back east. It seems like New Hampshire has a lot more job openings so Greg is going to start sending out his resume to those. We'll see what comes of it.
I think thats about it for now. We are just getting ready for the baby. Hope all is well with everyone else.
