we’re moving….eventually.

Okay, so I’m pregnant. Yes, you know this. You should also know that pregnant women can jump to extreme measures and overreact. So, I’d like to reinstate the fact, I’m pregnant.

Yesterday we were moving in 30 days, yet today we are staying put for the moment. Once we put our crazy toddler to bed, and I instructed Jimmy to start praying, only then did we sit and really chat about the reality of our situation.

We love this house. It’s home to us, and our neighbors can never ever be replaced. When Peggy, our elderly but well informed on all things E.B. (our street) related, came out last evening to see if Taylor had decided to wear shoes in the car today…I almost cried. She knows about Taylor and his no shoes in the car thing!!!! I mean, you don’t find that just anywhere. And then Rick, our kitty calling yodeler, opened his garage and Taylor ran over to sit on one of his two motorcycles so he could honk the horn. I think then I really felt the tears welling up. But the real kicker was when our sweet neighbor Rachel abandoned her screaming 6 month old to her husband at a moments notice to come and watch our screaming toddler, just so we could drive down the street to look at a new rental. (Yes, that was a long sentence. I know.) I mean, who would do that? Leave their crying baby? To their husband? Especially someone who is a stay at home mom…you know, that just NEVER happens.

Anyway, all this made me pause and think. Is it really necessary to move right now? Realistically, our landlord isn’t going to raise it until December, and maybe, just maybe we can even ask for one more month so that I’ll at least be back to work to help the extra costs. And even then, who knows if a winning lottery ticket could come our way…and we could actually afford to stay here forever. Well not forever really, but remember I’m pregnant. I overreact. Worst comes to worst, (or is it worse comes to worse…I never know.), we can suck up the high rent for a couple months and move late winter or early spring. Or whatever season it is that this baby will start sleeping through the night.

So, there. We told her we will stay through the new year and then hopefully try to work something out. So I’m back to eating chocolate and counting down the days….

OH!

Speaking of the countdown, I had my lovely doctors appt today, and we scheduled my induction day! (Yes, I said Induction. So, I’m putting in a Judging Pause for those who need it….)

I will be heading into the hospital on October 16th early in the morning, should the kung fu ninjaette not make her way before then.

There’s our drama for today. I’m sure there will be more tomorrow.
