Lurkers--I miss you--please tell me what's the latest with your life--you guys tell me what you've read on my site, but I don't know how YOU'RE doing!!
Fellow bloggers--I feel really bad that I'm not able to absorb any information right now--I am sorry :(--I promise to read your blogs after this is all resolved. I will have time after June 10th :)
Mr. P came over the other night and asked 1,000,000 detailed questions. He then told me he was going to make an offer yesterday. Yesterday came and went. Today came and went. I'm hoping because he's a lawyer that he's just being extra cautious and thorough and just getting himself together. He said he would tell me regardless of what he decided, and I thought "I'm making an offer tomorrow" meant he was making an offer! What up?!!
We rented a temporary apartment today and arranged to have one of our cars shipped for when Dave gets to DC. Dave will get to experience our new neighborhood first hand while we wait for our actual house to be built. More importantly, he'll experience the commute before we're totally financially bound to buy the new house. Check it out!
In pregnancy news, I have invested in more maternity clothes. Dave went with me, and he was teasing me that the sizes I was picking (medium) would be too small now. We were like "Ha, ha" until I got them home, and he was right. I was very sad, shocked really, and demoralized to be in "large" maternity clothes--you're supposed to keep your same size in the maternity versions of clothes.
I used to wonder why older people wanted the seats of their cars and couches to be super soft. It seemed like the cushions offered no support. Sadly, I now understand. In the last few weeks it's seemed like any surface I've come in contact with is uncomfortable--couch, car, bed. Now I know the secret. Fluffy, squishy marshmallow pillows are beyond wonderful--like the seats in Grampa's Oldsmobile. When you are just in continuous physical discomfort, pillows everywhere are a godsend.
I felt like I was becoming the Wicked Witch of the West--I may have mentioned my weird muscle spasms and cramps in my hands and forearms. Today my doctor said to eat more SALT! How weird is that!? I can do that. What a relief!
In moving news it seems like from the moment I wake up (easy when you can't sleep anyway!) to like now--11:48 pm, I have a constant stream of time-sensitive things that have to happen for the move. I can't imagine trying to do this and work at the same time. It would get done very badly. Before when I worked, I just felt like everything was TOO-MUCH-NESS all the time. Too demanding of the amount of energy I actually had. It's totally OK now that I don't work. It's still alot, but it's manageable now.
In Dave news, he is much happier than he has been in the last few weeks. He likes to know the plan and to have stability and a solid routine. The idea of getting to DC and leaving things up in the air is not really his style. He's very grateful that I've arranged everything for us. And, he's very excited to start his new job. I can't believe it will be just 9 short days until he leaves. He comes back on May 31st and we begin our cross-country trek on June 1st.
Here are some actual photos of the new home site with other people's homes that are already built. I promise to put the rest on the shutterfly site. More about that soon!
