Setling in....

First of all, I would like to thank Kelley for the facebook message. It lit a fire under my butt to write this blog tonight. I have been meaning to write for the last couple of weeks....but time has been getting away from me. Work has been crazy, that is an understatement, and I am still getting used to the new schedule with commuting, unpacking, etc.

Murphy getting settled in! Life is so rough.

We are getting settled into our new place....we spent nearly the whole weekend looking for a kitchen table, chairs, and two swivel chairs for the family room. Todd would like to have the back of the chairs to the couch, stadium seating style. I talked him into swivel chairs instead. That way we can actually talk to our guests. A weekend like this makes me think of the movie 'Old School'. Will Ferrel says "Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're um, we're gonna go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed Bath And Beyond, I don't know. I Don't know if we'll have enough time." Let me tell you guys....we had a big weekend! We ended up finding a kitchen table and chairs, two swivel chairs, and a crib. Very productive, we barely had time for it all. We even hung some pictures. Hanging pictures is the hallmark of getting settled into a new place. So, even though we will not have our new furniture yet....I think the house will be ready to make its debut this weekend. Please stay tuned for pics....

Another, getting settled in moment. Todd and I were exhausted from our big weekend furniture shopping and hanging pictures and sat down on Sunday night to watch a movie. Todd suggested that we have a fire....he also said, we need to get the fireplace cleaned, but one fire should be fine. Well, about 15 minutes later, the house was filled with smoke 2-3 smoke alarms were beeping and my eyes were burning. Something was not quite right with the flu...I guess we need to get it serviced before we try another fire! oops! Basically our house still smells like campfire. It's kind of nice, if you like that stuff.

Baby update....I had a fetal echocardiogram (sp?) and everything looked great! No heart defects. I had to have my blood glucose test done last week....although my practitioner did not warn me. And, of course a drug rep brought in donuts! Needless to say, I ate a donut at about 9am and then figured I deserved 1/2 of another as something sweet after lunch. Then I proceeded down to the lab only to find out that I had to drink that syrupy, sugar water and then come back in an hour to have my blood drawn. Hopefully, I did not screw up the test. There has been no word yet, so I am assuming that is good news. I will keep you posted! The baby is moving more and more all of the time and my belly button is getting really deformed. Expect some belly pics in the next couple of days (not of the belly button, I will not gross you out with that).

It may be a record more than one post in a week......let's see if I can live up to the challenge!

That's all for now.
