We mostly successfully moved into our new home on Sunday. I haven't done much unpacking, primarily because we're still packing/cleaning at the apartment. It will all be done by 2:00 p.m. tomorrow though, when we have our final inspection! It will be so nice to be done with it.
It turns out that the kitchen is a lot smaller than I had originally anticipated. Unfortunately, the market and our desire to find a house before our lease ended didn't leave us with a lot of time to mull over and inspect the potential homes before deciding to purchase. So... I will have to get creative with this kitchen. As it is, I don't really have enough room for all of our kitchen gear, let alone any food...
My thoughts are to buy something similar to the following:
Once we get a bit more settled in, or are at least finished at the apartment, I will post pictures and updates.
Like most people, I struggle to keep my house clean and my workouts regular. This blog will be used to document my efforts in these areas and to get (and give) support and ideas from other people.

16 Weeks
How far along? 16
weeks
Total Weight Gain: This past week 0 lb, Total -2 lbs
Maternity Clothes: Not
yet.
Continuing Symptoms: Body
acne, sore breasts, generally just feeling good. I do have some other symptoms that some
people may not care to read about (various breast changes, or things such as
darkening hair on my stomach.. )
New Symptoms: Veins
on chest are more noticeable.
Sleep: Great! Our first night in the new house it took a
while to fall asleep, only because of the sound of traffic, but by the second
night I was already used to it enough for it not to bother me.
Cravings/Aversions: Nothing
really this week.
Stretch Marks: Too
early for this… Did noticed a small
purple line on a breast… Don’t know if
it’s the beginnings of a stretch mark or a varicose vein or something.
Special Moments: We
moved into our new house! Once we get
unpacked (and find out the gender in 2 weeks) we can start doing some real
nursery planning. J
Miss anything? I
didn’t miss much this week.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or
off? On.
Looking forward to: Finishing
cleaning up our old apartment, then we’ll have a 3 day weekend to relax and
settle into our home!!

little fatigue, body acne, sore breasts

Special Moments: We
got to hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time this week! I wasn’t sure if we’d be able to since the

ultrasound!
Miss anything? I’ve
been really wanting a Smirnoff Ice or something of that nature.
Belly Button in or out? In.

Looking forward to: In

New Developments in the Home and Body
Well, considering that I think the only person who reads this blog (Mom) already knows this stuff I don't really need to state it, but oh well, haha.
New Developments in the Home: We are buying a house! I started packing today and we are moving in a little less than two weeks! I am hoping to resume home blogs once we get internet, etc set up in the house. These blogs will include progress of setting up the house and keeping it clean and organized.
New Developments in the Body: I am housing a baby! So... that's probably why I have let this and my other blog slide. Talking about an energy zapper, haha. Well I finally have some energy back! I am updated my blogs, have been able to resume regular housework, etc. While the recipes won't really be any different, my workouts have been a lot (and I mean a lot) less strenuous. After the move I hope to resume blogging about these things as well! Perhaps I will also use this blog to write pregnancy blogs and updates.
