the big move
Description
ok, so maybe it wasnt a BIG move, but it certainly felt that way to me! yesterday we moved downstairs. we were all sleeping in 1 room upstairs but with 3nut on the way, the new family bathroom, and the need for space, we all moved onto the middle level. This may not sound too bad, BUT it also meant that Jessie would be in her own room, sleeping in her bed on her OWN for the first time ever!
the move itself went pretty well. my mom, brothers and jade came by to help move the bigger stuff and to help sort out everything, moving makes one realise how much stuff we have! sheesh, we have heaps of toys that id forgotten about. so we sorted through those, made piles to keep, give-away and throw away. B moved his office upstairs to what was our bedroom, and jessie is in what was the office. her room definitely needs some girly sprucing, but we can do that as we go.
her first night went great! B read her a story while i tried to get jack down, then he said good night. she walked through to me and we chatted for a while before she asked me to lie with her. so i took jack with me and sat on her bed until she slept. she slept all night and is still sleeping. It was so strange to not have her with me last night. (yup i cried a little) i really missed her and waking up and not seeing her just doesnt feel right! but im sure that in time it will all be ok (for me) and that everything will adjust. I did get up and check on her during the night, and before B left for training, he checked on her.
we need to find decent curtains, so that will be my week’s mission. we got quoted, but it was pretty pricey, so im looking for curtains in shops. mmm, maybe a trip to canal walk is in order?

im feeling quite worried about 3nut again. im not experiencing any symptoms, and will be 9 weeks tomorrow. i have a scan next friday (the 18th) and am praying hard that all is well. im so excited (even though its ages away) about bringing 3nut into the world. i cant wait to hold my newborn, smell them, feel their softness, marvel at how tiny and amazing they are! i cant wait to watch 3nut develop as a little person, watch the sibling interaction, and just love them! its such an awesome experience, one that i treasure.
i just wish i could relax and trust my body to do its thing.
