Week 33

Our apartment flooded on Saturday because some punk kid thought it would be funny to break into Cathy's apartment right after she moved out and turn on her water full blast. Very funny. Water was coming through the light in the hall and there was almost half an inch of water in the bathroom. Books, clothes, everything soaked. Things I had spent months packing, soaked. I have never been so sad and upset. What a hard day. But Cory was awesome about it--came right over and vacuumed up the water and took one of my dresses to be dry cleaned. Now we just have to inventory the other things that were ruined--just a few books, I believe.

But, after that, I needed a treat. A lot of really big treats. And I am still needing them.

It is really hard to be so pregnant and have to clean and wash and re-pack everything. But there are only seven weeks left--can you believe that? I'm getting so excited and so nervous all the time.



Just 49 days! Hooray!

And 45 days until my baby brother's wedding. I hope I can make it. He's only getting married once--I would hate to miss it.

Week 28

Welcome to the 3rd trimester! How exciting is that?

The baby is growing well and he's getting so strong. How cute.



I've slowly packing everything, getting ready for our move. It's nice to know that I have all the time it will take--as I'm really only able to pack about five boxes a week before I feel like I'm going to die, I've been working so hard.
I can't believe we've lived here for 11 months already. It seems like such a short amount of time, but it also seems like much longer.

And, even though I hate it, I'm getting excited to move. And I really do love packing. I love boxes. It's so fun. Even if I'm too huge and tired to do anything very fast.

Curtains...

I've been working on curtains, right? Well, I just realized that it is going to take me months of work to finish them, and I don't have that kind of time. I also need new curtains for our bedroom because, for some reason, the curtains in there now don't cover the entire windows. I really want to make beautiful curtains for the bedroom, but with everything else I have to do (work, make Christmas gifts, etc), making curtains that will take at least seven months is a daunting task. We'll see, I guess.

But right now, all projects are taking a hiatus while we are moving. We are pretty much done now--just a few odds and ends and a touch of cleaning to do at our other apartment, and everything is at the new place. In boxes. Piled up everywhere. Staring me down even when I'm miles away at work.

While we've been moving, sleeping on the floor, packing, and almost unpacking, I've fallen behind in every show I watch with my coworkers. And I haven't watched anything just for me. And I don't really miss it, except for the knitting part. I do miss that. And I love to watch something while I knit. So, soon it will be back to the TV and all of the fun that can be had there! And, someday, I will finish two curtain panels and they will be beautiful and they will hang in my living room for the world to enjoy.
