yay, we didn't get flooded. (thanks for the concern, you!) apparently the storm just fizzled when it hit land and we were on the lucky end. i know lots of people did get flooded, and having been through that i can only say that it sucks and i feel for them. my house got some new guttering last week and that seems to have solved the problem of water getting into the front bedroom, which is great news.
i have so much unpacked now that it actually feels like i'll soon be home again. of course i've still got a ways to go, but comparatively, things are moving right along.
... morei went to the container store last week and bought a bunch of crap that will hopefully make my life easier since i'm such a pack rat. that's probably the best thing about my being forced to pack up, move out and then move back in - i'm getting rid of a ton of stuff that i don't need.
when i started moving everything back into my house, i was just kind of piling it anywhere. i filled up both of the extra bedrooms with boxes and bags. the past week, my main goal has been to get that middle bedroom cleaned out for ms. zoe. i'm almost there. we haven't bought any baby furniture yet, but i'd much rather have it all cleaned out and ready to go once we do.
sarah's been giving me baby clothes every so often as ms. lily outgrows them. i've also gone crazy with the buying of baby clothes myself. it's like i can't help myself. if i'm in any store that has baby stuff, i have to go look. when i pass something on sale that's too cute, it has to come home with me. just last week i bought two way-too-pink outfits. pink! i don't know what's wrong with me.
i assume ms. zoe is doing just fine as she seems to be having a grand old time kicking and punching me. one night i was sitting around watching vh1 classic and i was singing along to some good 80's music and she really went to town. i'm not sure if she liked it, or if she was just saying "mom, please shut up!" i go back for my monthly checkup this thursday, and then rob & i start childbirth classes on sunday night. i'm really started to get worried about labor & all that. i guess up 'til now it's been pretty easy for me to not think about it. as it gets closer and closer, i'm so afraid i'm going to flip out.
it's been a long summer. hockey starts in about a month. i can't wait to go to hockey even though i'm going to be all big and waddling around. it's not even fully expanded yet and i still keep freaking out on the belly. rob has fun calling me 'tubby'. i bet though, as huge as it is, that my hockey jersey will still fit over my big pregnant belly.
