Well, it has been a few days and I guess I have alot to update...We moved, the boxes are here and most are opened and some are unpacked but some are going to probably stay in boxes and stay in the back room...really do I need to unpack the decorative stuff for just a year only to put it back into the box in a few months...well 11 or so???
So this is the part I hate and wish firends were closer to help me...how do I set up the rooms to maximize space yet maintain child friendly and child safety??? So I have re-arranged and moved things over and over...so no gym membership yet b/c who needs it when you are constantly hauling stuff up 3 flights of stairs (yeah, silently hating my Hubby as I bring car seat, kid, and dog constantly up and down those stairs) hauling boxes around the apartment (so thats my weight-lifting workout) and rearranging furniture (more weight-work)...and when you want to do trash you have to hike it to the dumpster which is down then up a hill...so really, who needs a gym right? Anyway, I did work on my Aerobic resume so I can hopefully find a group exercise teaching position at one of the gyms nearby to get back into the swing of working out and get some excuse to get out of the house and meet people.
Got the car registered and all that stuff. Spent a while at the DMV waiting, of course Matthew slept the whole 40-50 minutes in the waiting room to wake up as I am trying to do the paperwork with the DMV lady...she is pretty nice considering I did most of the forms wrong and having to correct things and holding a screaming hungry baby. Luckily I got her at 915am, would hate to have put her through it that afternoon after a day of dealing with people all day.
The other big story is we got the high chair, we got it at Target b/c there is really no close Baby's R Us. I put it together and put Matthew in it and it seems to be ok. We also bought the first box of Rice Cereal today and put just a tad into his night feeding to see how he tolerates it. Hopefully this will help us with the sleeping through the night thing as it might help us get him to sleep longer than the 4-5 hrs we currently are going. One can only hope. I switched to the 3+ nipples to help with the feeding as well b/c lately he seems to want his milk faster than the nipple allows out and now with cereal it thickens the liquid up just a tad...it seems to work for our first try so I am hopeful this is the beginning of great things to come.
We are back to G-vegas Sunday to clean the duplex and get it Show-ready, now if someone would just come by and give us an offer...I say that (well type it actually) yet it is our storage site for some of our stuff so I guess I don't want it to sell in the next 2 weeks b/c I am out of town and would like some time to gradually move up the rest of our stuff over the course of a few more weeks as we will most likely make a few more trips there to visit folks and take care of other business.
Well, my goal on this blog was to update things, report on my running, yoga and other adventures...I hope so far I have stayed true to that...and in and effort to keep these like e-mails, Short and to the point, I am going to stop here.
I'll try to get pictures of our new place soon and post to FB.
