Made in Richmond

I haven’t posted in about 4 days which is pretty much unheard of in these parts. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s going on…

-We’re on track to close on this house and the new one on Thursday August 14th. Yes, that’s in 13 days.

-We are now in the process of coordinating the move and final paperwork to make this happen.

-Packing started tonight. And by packing I mean Ross doing stuff and me hobbling around the room trying be helpful but getting pretty frustrated that I can’t do much.

-My mother is coming to help me pack tomorrow because Ross has to go into work.

-My mother-in-law is making all of the phone calls to coordinate PODS and what not. She even emailed us with a list of possible delivery scenarios, complete with pros and cons. I almost cried, it was so thorough.

-The baby kicks all the time. It is also now startled by loud noises which freaks me the eff out.

-I get elbowed (or kicked, or punched, or kneed) at all hours of the day and night. I love it but sometimes it really, really hurts.

-I feel that I am approaching ridiculous-looking status and I still have 14 weeks to go.

-I ONLY HAVE 14 WEEKS TO GO.

-I am constantly praying that the stars continue to align and that all of these carefully balanced elements of my life do not fall apart.

-I have never needed alcohol so much in my life.
