I cannot believe this...

B just got off the phone with a representative from the relocation department for his work. Apparently the transfer orders are all signed and everyone who needs to do something with regard to our big move has been notified including the realtor advisors/relocators.

So, B provides all the information required to the representative. She tells him we can put our house on the market today if we want. Ummm, NO! He explains that we are planning to postpone putting it up for sale at least until the end of October since our new baby is due in about 3 weeks...Guess what? We're not allowed to delay it that long. Once they get things started, which they have, we have to list it as soon as they send their appraisers out, and this will happen in the next week or so. Nice!?!

Today, I am two days shy of 37weeks pregnant and this is very unwelcome news. And now it's too late to ask for a deferral because the wheels are already in motion. We thought we'd made it very clear that we could not get things started until early November...I guess no one there cares about that! Nice!?!

Fall is here!

It struck me hard today as I walked through the grocery store how much I love fall. It is my favorite season of all. The brilliant orange pumpkins, the pretty fall flowers and all the spectacularly colourful and delicious veggies that are in season really made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Later in the afternoon as I walked around the yard with my curious little boy I marveled at how quickly the leaves on the trees have gone from lush green to yellow, orange, red and how the grass beneath my feet is now suddenly brown. The snap in the brisk fall air is my most favorite feel and smell...especially on very cool days when you can catch a whif of logs burning in someone's fireplace. I imagine the warmth on my face from the roaring fire.

Fall is when I most love to go on long nature walks. It's so calming to listen to the leaves crunch underfoot and breathe in the freshness of the air as deeply as I can. I couldn't help but think it is very bittersweet since the beautiful fall weather that filled me up inside also made me realize how much I miss my beloved dog...

M, I hope you are rolling in a great big pile of leaves in doggie heaven. xox

I just can't quit.

I deleted my blog a few days ago but have since decided to start it up again. I am a little sad that I lost all my entries from before...ah well, that's life.

30 days left and counting....

I am doing well still. Up until just the last few days I found the time was flying by with this pregnancy but now it is starting to slow down. I guess that's what happens when you get near the end and are ready.

Yep, I am ready...bags are packed, baby gear is clean and ready for use, freezer is full of yummy meals. B goes off work using his vacation time as of Oct 1st! I can't wait to have him around full time to help with J, although part of me wonders if being less busy chasing after J will make time feel like it's dragging even more. B's definitely not worried about this though, he's convinced this baby will arrive early - his prediction is Oct 6th, which is the night of the full moon. J was born almost 3 weeks early on the night of a full moon. Only time will tell :)
