Happy Birthday to my Nephew Evan!

So today is my nephew Evan's birthday. I am not the best Aunt as I just remembered yesterday and got his card in the mail today....yep, even my nephews get forgotten so if I have missed your birthday please know it is not personal and you are not alone....sorry again to my brother and sister-in-law....luckily Evan is 2 today so I hope he doesn't notice and I hope to do better in the future!

So Jay had his first day at work yesterday where he actually got to get into his office (which he has to share with his co-worker) and starting to meet the therapist and other staff. He will start getting patients assigned to him over the next few days so by next week he will be full up on his "big-adult" job!

So I know many of my VP family and friends know but my parents are trying to relocate to Vegas and yesterday movers picked up some of the furniture that is my bounty of stuff....the cool thing is I finally get the piano that my mom and aunt learned to play plus both my sister and I  learned on...so the cool thing is my children will of course be forced to take lessons and will learn on...a 3rd generation...I just need to find a good piano tuner as this is like a grand piano it is an old upright so has long strings and somewhat difficult to get to as it is upright so the strings run up/down vs horizontal like a baby grand.

Mom is unloading some of her depression glass and other keepsakes from my grandmothers and great grandmother...she has this display cabinet coming and originally I told her 2 of the 4 shelves she could have to display the stuff she wanted me to have...of course with all the stuff and her treasures...I think she has 3 shelves and maybe even enough stuff for all 4 of the shelves....those of you that know my mom are probably chuckling and not surprised...she does lover her treasures....I think she told me she has at least one shelf is a pink glass shelf and one is a green....so if there is any yellow or blue I am sure that is the third....then add in the cut glass and other stuff and probably all 4 are done....so if you ever come visit, make sure you look at my mom's "treasures" which will be on display for all to see.

In other news, tomorrow is also the day we can go get our new at home spin bike....yeah with the access to a gym being difficult and not really practical for me right now we bought a spin bike and it should be ready tomorrow for us....I am so excited as this way I can start back to working out 10-15 minutes and then post baby really getting back in shape as this move has killed my plan to not gain 50 lbs...I am 28 weeks and already at 30 lbs on weight gain and 12 weeks left...I am worried that I might get up to 200lbs again...oh well, at least this way I have a bike here plus it should be cool by Jan right so I should also be able to start running outside vs right now with our 100+ days of weather.

So, the house is really coming together and really, come visit, anyone, we will have a guest room, 2 single beds plus an air mattress and we allow dogs so really, if you find yourself driving across country and need a place to crash, please let me know!!!
ok, gotta go get my lunch made so I can pick Matt up from daycare and begin another afternoon from hell...so far the move has really changed up his schedule and the afternoons which use to be 2 hrs of sleeping are no longer and with the heat and trapped in this house it just becomes a long and crazy afternoon for a preggers mommy that just wants to take a nap...also a traumatic afternoon for poor Queenie who gets chased, hit and attacked when within arms/hands reach of Matt...time out is not working so well as he thinks it is fun and smiles and spanking hands and butt are not all that effective either...just a few tough months I know...but couldn't the terrible two's wait for him to actually be 2 yrs old?
