A life update...

{26 Week Belly--------->}

So recently we made the decision to move back into my mom's house. She isn't living here so we have the master bedroom and Caden's old room. Her friend does live here so that is taking a little getting used to but we are no strangers from living with people so I'm sure it will all work out fine. The move happened quickly...but took what seemed like forever. We started moving last Wednesday and finally got everything out of the apartment and got it cleaned this past Tuesday. I turned in the keys yesterday and did the walk through. The only thing we'll be charged for are the blinds in the kitchen (thank you FIGERO!) and the screen in Caden's room...which I still don't know what happened there but there were a nice bunch of holes. We have never been charged for anything in our apartments and have always received a full refund of the deposit, but in the case it doesn't matter since we broke the lease anyways, we won't be getting the deposit back. No big deal.

Things actually feel right with this move. All the other times (if you'd like me to catch you up there have been 10 just in the 6 years that Steven and I have been together), anyways, all the other times seemed rushed or wrong and this one feels like we actually might get our life back on track. Our car insurance was already lowered just by switching neighborhoods, our car payments were caught up by the company (thank you God for that one) and we are able to set up payments for breaking the lease instead of having to hand them over the money at the time of move out.

What makes us most happy is that we are no longer in a lease, so once this baby is born, if there is an opportunity to move back to San Diego, we will be able to take it.

Caden has been awesome through all of this. Maybe it's because we have been moving his whole life already...but he adjusts extremely well to change and new routines and I'm thankful for that. It's our goal to be settled into a place before he starts kindy so that we don't have to move him around. I think childhood friends are too important to lose touch with...maybe that's why I still know and talk to all of mine!

As for little Carter, he is growing nicely. I go in for my one hour glucose test next Wednesday to test for gestational diabetes. Let's hope that one is a negative! I have to ask my doctor if she'll be able to deliver me at a different hospital since we no longer live 5 minutes from the one I planned to deliver at. I set up a tour at my original one and plan to set up a tour at the other as well to see which one I like better. There is a 10 minute difference in the drive and I know that when you are in labor 10 minutes is a lot, but it might be worth it to have a better experience since our experience with Caden was absolutely horrid.

Anyways, lots of stuff to do today! Need to be cleaning up this bedroom and washing some of the baby clothes so I can put them away. The weather has been beautiful here so Caden and I have a park date later. Hope everyone is doing well. We miss you guys more than you could ever know...
