Still Crazy!

Still running around like a chicken with our head cut off over here - but getting stuff done little by little. But why does the list constantly feel like it is growing?

I am about to enter into my 28th week of pregnancy - loving it all! Had our appointment Wednesday and I am all good and healthy! Glucose fine, no anemia, only gained 2.5 pounds last month, uterus is the right size. Yay! So little Tucker will get a doctor's note that says Momma can fly in February and he will be born in England. Whew!

Looks like our travel date will be February 10th - ish. That puts me at the end of 31 weeks and enough time to get settles into a place in London and be prepped for baby to arrive. Andrew and I are very excited about this opportunity - very overwhelmed - but very excited. So much to do in 3 and a half weeks!

I am trying to take time out now and then and see friends and have lunch/coffee/etc. I don't want to get so wrapped up int he next few weeks that I have lost all touch with everyone and then miss them even more than I already am when we leave. I know we will be back. I know I am coming back in August. But I love it here in Black Mountain. I love my friends. My support system of other Mom's that I was so excited to have on call if I had questions once Tucker arrived. I know I can still call from London - thanks Skype! But it isn't the same as having someone over so I can shower or talk or cry! We can do it though. Andrew is going to be a great Daddy and this whole pregnancy has made me love him even more every day. And I cannot wait to look into Tucker's eyes for the first time and hold my sweet baby boy.

So that is the chaos going on here. My sweet friends are throwing me a baby shower next Friday with the knowledge that I don't really want to ship a bunch of stuff to London. But I really just want to celebrate Tucker with them and get this ritual as a first time Mom. That is more important to me - the celebration, not the gifts. I have such amazing Mom friends and have learned, and will continue to learn, so much from them.

Love you all!

London Bound?!?!?

Well, so Andrew was offered a position with the 2012 London Olympics and they want him to start in February. What?!?!?! Yup, we are moving to England for 18 months. It has been a crazy last month or so getting stuff sorted out, and it still isn't sorted out 100%. But he did finally accept the position today and the will be sending him his package of more detailed information tomorrow.

Well that sounded calm and wonderful. Don't get me wrong - it is wonderful and exciting and a great opportunity! It is also scary and overwhelming - especially being 26 weeks pregnant. So, there will be much more detail to come and I am SO THANKFUL for my friends who have offered support and help and love and friendship. Without you all I might just start drinking! ;)
