Mi Casa, We Casa

When you are pregnant, people have a different way to greeting you. Instead of the usual, "Hi, How are you?" you get, "Hi, how are you? When are you due?" My belly is protruding much quicker than it did with Connor, so when I tell the person asking, "September" their response is, "WOW! You're so BIG!" This is not what the pregnant lady wants to hear. Another common question that follows the due date query is, "Is this your first?". Now that I have Connor in tow most of the time, I don't get this question, but I got it alot when we were in California. It's mostly people that have children that ask this type of question and when you answer, yes, it's our first, they just smile and nod and get that knowing look behind their eyes. I never knew what that look meant, until I found myself asking another preggo, if the baby was to be her first. When she said yes, I just smiled and nodded... That knowing look, actually means, HA! Aren't you in for a suprise. You have no idea how this is going to change your life. Enjoy that Starbucks now sweetie, because after the next year, you'll never be able to even go to the bathroom alone again.

I haven't been blogging much because we've been busy with the new house we are purchasing. There's a ton of red tape that has to be written up, signed and filled out. There are five million people to call and scheduling those five million to call the other five million so that when you are ready to write up, fill out and sign all of the official stuff, everyone is in communicado. It's alot. I didn't bring up the house, because I didn't want to jinx it, but it appears that everything is going smoothly and we are set to close the first week of May. Moving is going to suck as usual, but hopefully, we can find enough strapping, young lads to donate their time that it won't just be my husband and his pregnant wife that is only able to lift 25 lbs or less. If you feel like doing some community service, just let us know... we've got some good karma just waiting for you. Good karma... and maybe some beer.
