Just an update

I really like Brigham City so far. We have some really awesome neighbors and friends who have been so helpful with the whole moving process. So far we have installed a new fridge, 2 window ac units, a kitchen faucet and a washing machine. I accidentally helped Jared break our other washer, its what happens when your running on little sleep and you don't think things through like you should. But hey its really cool to have a new washer, we were given one from his brother when we first moved into our Ogden home and I'm unsure how long they had owned the washer but it was well loved. I'm hoping we can slow down the spending this coming week. We have yet to get a garbage can, which makes us look like the Klampets. Hopefully on Monday we will finally get our can. Its so nice they have a green waste garbage can, and I definitely know how to fill up a green waste can, and its only $4 something extra a month. We moved in on Tuesday and have been busy taking care of everything since. Today is founders day and I finally put on some makeup for the first time this week, I have been meeting all my new neighbors looking like a giant pregnant slob. My ankles look like tree trunks, which is depressing, I wish I could wear long pants to hide them but then I would melt with the heat. I just have a couple more weeks left in this pregnancy and my belly is slowing me down or maybe just making everything more difficult. When we finally get the Internet at our place I'll post the progress of the place!

I can taste it!

After literally a month and a half extention on closing we are finally closed on our Ogden home, and actually we are closed on our Brigham City home too. The catch is we have to wait till funding to move in but that will be on monday. In the mean time we have moved just about everything out of the Ogden home and put what was left in my parents garage... my mom is going to die when she comes home and sees what a crapload of crap is in her garage... and house.... but she wont have to live with it for long because we will be getting our carpets cleaned on monday and begin the moving in process monday night and tuesday. We got back yesterday from a family vacation to West Yellowstone and really had a nice time. It has been at least 3 years since Jareds been able to come up with us to the cabin so it was really nice to have him with us on vacation. When I get the energy I'll plug in my camera and share the photos of the trip, but right now I'm just not interested.
Today was an all out crazy day, Jared had expected to work and so we woke up early to go to our house and mow the lawn and finish cleaning out our stuff for the buyers final walk thru. Then i took jared to work at 9:30, only to pick him up at 10:30 because they had scheduled him off for the wrong day and there was no changing it. So we were able to get more done on the house and he was able to watch the kids while I went to my drs appointment at 12:30, then we had a bite to eat at zuccas, and were back at the house cleaning until it sparkled. I don't know that we have had a moments rest until now since we came back yesterday, and it is such a load off to finally have the house closed. Its really nice to know that I wont be moving all of our stuff back in there, that would have killed me.
The baby is doing good, he is somewhere around 4lbs 6 oz, at this point and if I have my way I'll try to be induced around the 31st of July. I have gained so much weight with this pregnancy and I'm concerned. I wish I had been better with exercising, I definitely move around alot but not like I should. I'm happy I'm not having my first because the hospitals around here have changed their rules for elective inductions for first time mothers to only be performed at 41 weeks. It sounds pretty cruel to me, but since i've had a couple babies I can be induced at 39 weeks. I remember being so jealous of moms who went into labor on their own at 38 weeks or so. There is no rush this time around, I've got alot of work to do.
