We're Back!

Travis and Me on moving day...

Okay so the move is done, family visits are over, and life is starting to get back to normal. We've had some exciting firsts happen over the past six weeks and I am going to post all about them... So here you go:

(Written on 6 July)

We’ve finally gotten into the new house! All of our things have been delivered and I am steadily unpacking them. I’ve actually gotten two out of three floors completed, save for the office. The issue with unpacking this house is that it is a traditional German home and has zero closets. That’s right, not a single damn space to shove things out of sight when the neighbors drop by… So I have invested in a shit ton of baskets. I will have to give the “tour” once the house is completely put together but for now here is a peak at what we are dealing with:

The kitchen before unpacking

Dining room

Foyer

Living room

Because we don’t have closets and the ARMY has a back log on the furniture that they are allowing people to borrow I have had to turn our guest bedroom into a closet for Travis and me to use. I can’t say that I am too upset about this because I really like to be able to walk into a room and see all of my clothes. I just wish that I had drawers to use. I'll show you photos soon...

1000 Cranes

I finally finished all 1000 cranes. It took me 40 hours to fold all of them. It took an hour for just 25, what a time consuming project... I then strung them up on thread and hung them like a curtain in Clark's room. I think they turned out wonderfully. However, by looking at them it doesn't seem as though there are actually 1000. Trust me there are, I've counted them over and over again to make sure.

As we wait for Clark to make his arrival I find that we are filling our time with movies and laughter. I am torn between wanting this little boy out and in my arms, not only because I can't wait to snuggle him but also because I am tired of contractions that lead to nothing, and wanting to keep him locked away in my belly forever. I absolutely love being pregnant, this little boy has changed my life forever and he isn't even here yet. I have never know such a love, and it is for a person I've never even met yet. Right now he is all mine. I don't have to share him with anyone if I don't want to, his kicks and flips are confined to my belly, like a secret conversation between just the two of us.

Anyway, I hope that you are having a great day!
