Has it Been Long Enough?

Life has been a whirlwind in the past 4 months. Last I wrote, we were still in Texas for the summer, and were getting ready to move back to Utah.

 Well, here's a condensed version of what we've been up to. We moved to Utah and stayed with my Grandpa for a few weeks while looking for a place. I was so excited when we found a cute townhouse in Draper, it was perfect! We moved in at the beginning of September. Soon after I found out we were expecting baby #2 - yay! 

We celebrated my birthday, hung out with family and tried to fit our things into our new home. Two weeks after we moved in we got an offer we couldn't refuse from Dan's friend/ boss Dave. He offered Dan a branch managing position for the company he'd been doing sales for, assisting us in getting out of our lease, which was surprisingly easy, and taking care of the full move. We just couldn't refuse this offer, so here we are, back in Texas. We traveled around 1600 (give or take) miles to move a 1/2 a mile. Oh well, we de-junked so that was good.

On a side note, I have to say that a "full move" is the way to go. It's expensive, but it was so nice! They literally pack and carefully wrap everything, even the crappy furniture that would probably be improved if it were scratched up!

Here we are in Texas. It's been nice, the weather has been around the 50's and mostly sunny. It's nice to be out of snow for now.

I'm getting bigger every day. The other day I was trying to suck in and thinking to myself, dang, I'm getting chunky! Then I reminded myself, no, you're pregnant!

I was reading a pregnancy book last night while Bridgette sat next to me and I showed her the drawing that most maternity books have, the profile of an expectant woman with the picture of the baby in her uterus. Bridgette looked shocked, and said "SHE ATE THE BABY!"  Sweet girl! I explained that babies grow in mommies tummy until they're healthy enough to come out. Then I told her we have a baby in my tummy. She was pretty fascinated and looked at the pictures in the book for the next while, saying "wow, baby!" I think it's sinking in...

Other than that, we've just been hanging out, visiting new places and getting settled in. If any of you want to visit Dallas, just let us know : )

And Merry Christmas!!!
