Apartment...

We are turning in an application for an apartment much closer to Matthew's work. It seems to make the most sense right now, even if it is VERY expensive. Less expensive than getting into a mortgage, though, and right now, we need to sit back and chill before we lose our freaking minds. Too late!

Ha!

Election...

Hey someone let me know who wins, alright? I'll be sleeping..
just kidding, I'll check my email and find out in the morning who won. Don't tell me, because by then I'll already know ;-)

Yikes...

First day alone with the munchkin. So far, she's eaten and is trying to sleep. I managed to pump, stuff in some toast and check my email. I am going to try and sleep again while she is, I just need to check on her really quickly here. Anyone else remember their first day of staying alone with the baby? Scary. Shiver.

no luck...

We looked at a house for rent but it wasn't even 'finished' on the inside yet. Matthew said the corners weren't done or something. It was pretty tiny and in another town we know nothing about. So that's out.

We may just rent an apartment really close to his work for 6 months and see how that goes, and where we are by then.

We just dont want to buy a house we won't love. I wasn't able to make any kind of rational decision at 9 months pregnant and I dont think the house we're staying in (and not buying) is as good as we thought it was. Not by a long shot. All the windows and doors need replaced, and that's the minimum. We can't do that and take care of her. No way, not before winter comes. We just don't have it in us. So we're taking the next train to splitsville and revoking our offer. It will mean moving and a big pain in that way, but otherwise will be okay. We will make it, we will. Someone please pray for us.

Umm you know that weight I was worried about?

It's all gone. Plus a few pounds. Of course that means all my muscle is gone as well. Dangit. But... I must say, the little bit of roll that's left looks kind of pathetic compared to the nice healthy belly I had before...just a little weird.

But hey, guess that means I was meant to grow babies.. not birth them very well, but grow them, yup, I'm good at it!

Umm hi...

Be sure to check out just how big I was over at the meeces blog. http://lil-meeces.blogspot.com/
There's pic of me holding my friend Trish's baby Ben. My belly is WAY out under him.

Can you imagine how big she would have been if she'd have been full term? My guess is about 10 lbs. Just a guess. Anyway, I will try and continue to update this blog (since I started blog 365 I intend to finish it)..

But I will also post a lot over at the meeces since my life literally is revolving around the littlest mouse right now..

oh and by the way, she squeaks...how's that for a mouse... so go see the meeces page for pictures and more!

I will update, I will...

3 living, breathing, eating, pooping, sleeping bodies still alive. more later.
hugs to everyone!
