As of today we no longer own our house. And luckily we can rent it through the month of December. In a collapsed real estate market, I feel fortunate to be in this position. We hope to close on our new place on Tuesday, which will give us time to do some much-needed work on the house before we move in.
And speaking of moving, little Olive seems to be dropping. My doctor took me off restricted activity, which doesn't mean I can play hockey, but does mean she's comfortable with me delivering anytime now.
With a due date of December 15th, I'll be term on Monday at 37 weeks.
As the mother of a micro-preemie, I'm beyond words on this one.
And speaking of my little man, Elias came home from school yesterday with a note that read: "Gym teacher said Elias was his best student!"
That's my boy.
Happy happy Friday!!!
Kvelling in Delaware for you! :-)

Wow, do you have so much on your plate but I think you thrive on that. So excited about all of your changes- I think you will get past Thanksgiving- Olive is in tune with this- but not much more then that. Wow- you have made it so far but you have got to put the brakes on about moving- deep breath- relax- please. You guys are totally on overload. I am just so thrilled that you 3 have made it so far. Change of topic. I am so thrilled that my Nick and his wife are planning to move to Seattle. Sad for me that they will no longer be on my time zone and you know how hard that is. But my Nick is totally following in your father's footsteps.
Long story but we will get there soon.
I am just so tired from my day of taking care of a wonderful autistic child but he is so sweet.
love you always

Congrats. Isn't the new house thing crazy. We are closing on one in December and my head, although we can't move until April, I need to finish my student teaching and all I want to do is go and visit the new house. Have you driven by your new house yet?

And how exciting for Olive to be dropping and for you to be off of restricted activity for the holiday.

Thank you all for your love and support!!!!!
Virginia, yes, I drive by the house every time I'm in that part of town and am not in a rush. Cant wait till I can drive there and go inside and start really making it our home.
Noel, would love to hear more about Nick's move to Seattle. Andrew will be a great contact for them!
