These last few weeks have been a bit of a blur, but outside of a few errands and repacking my suitcases, I think we checked everything off of our lists and are as prepared as we're ever going to be (and, yes, I did just knock on wood!) :)
Looking back, it wasn't SO bad since Bond has "been there, done that" more times that he'd like to count, but the hardest part was trying to figure out what we'd need for our baby girl, research everything and then hurry up and buy everything so it could be delivered on-time for our sea shipment. It was so overwhelming at first, but then we realized we'd be home at Christmas time and we really just needed to think about what we needed to keep her alive for the first 3 months...everything else we'd deal with when we came home! :) Much easier to handle!
We are officially homeless as all of our stuff is packed up and on it's way "down South!" I am at my mom's for the week and Bond took his one-way trip to Brazil yesterday (!) and thought he'd have to work "remotely" from his hotel for a few days since he's coming from an infected area due to the swine flu, but alas, he's back at the office and preparing for a big meeting next week. I'll be joining him next Tuesday after one last trip to see my mom's family in the mid-west over Mother's Day!
I'm off to run those last-minute errands and then promise to update more on the house, exciting news, the bebe (of course!) and our appointments last week, but not to worry, she's perfectly healthy as far as we can tell at 21 weeks (!) and growing right on track!
Yea! You'll be here in no time now!
ReplyDeleteAnd holy cow - can't believe you're already 21 weeks!!! Your menina will be arriving before we know it. Well, it will drag on a bit for you - but for the rest of us . . . ;)
(Oh, and thanks for the congratulatory shout out too!)
