I just finished updating my public blog, that goes to all my in-real-life friends and family about what a whirlwind the last six weeks or so has been with packing, moving, and settling in. It has really been crazy, but in a good way. I didn’t love living with all the boxes in our apartment for four weeks, but that was the only way to do it when you are moving with a little baby. And we did get unpacked and settled in very quickly considering. Mike’s mom has been AMAZING – helping manage Max, bringing us meals and just generally making herself super helpful. My parents were great too, but him mom was incredible. My attitude about her has been totally corrected.
The other new exciting development is that I am starting to fit into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes. I am still about 6 or 7 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight (though we won’t talk about how far over my pre-IVF weight) and I am very happy that I don’t think I’ll need to buy any new pants before we go on our Virginia Beach trip next week. It will be Max’s first airplane ride – I hope he does well. If he does, we might be able to tag along on a couple more of Mike’s trips this fall/winter/spring, which would be nice. With his newest promotion, which happened this week, it looks like he’ll be doing a lot more traveling, so it would be great for us to be able to spend a little more time together that way.
After taking a nice nap on my lap, Max is up so gotta go. I’ll try to do better with my updates as we settle in here and try to construct our new suburban life.
