Pregnancy Adventures: Things I did not know about pregnancy before I got pregnant
Just found out today that our friends Nate & Marissa are expecting, due in July—yay! This got me thinking to writing a brief post about things I didn’t know about pregnancy before becoming pregnant…many things I discovered earlier on but couldn’t talk about since I was still in the “non-safety” zone of the first trimester…so hopefully I can jog my memory a bit here. Now, there were a few things I knew about like how you shouldn’t smoke, drink alcohol, etc…and some things I learned through some of the few friends that have had children in the last couple of years…but there are a number of things that I did…

Hello from sunny Florida!
Happy Holidays from Florida! It is so nice to be experiencing some sunshine down here…the weather has floated between the 60’s and 70’s…and will hopefully get warmer when we head down to Key West next week for New Year’s.

Our focus this week: unpack and prep the condo for the new tenant who will move in this weekend. It’s eerie looking at this condo that I’ve lived in for 6 years — my first place — standing so empty the same way it looked…

Can my life be any busier right now?
Sorry I’ve been quiet — it’s just been so darn busy! Well, since my last post, we DID close on the house on time (woo hoo!) although there was drama til the very end. When we went to sign the escrow papers, I signed the first two pages using my regular signature. At that point, the escrow lady said, “You should sign your entire whole name” (including middle name), even though it’s not my real signature. For the rest of the documents, I did…and she didn’t think it was necessary to re-sign the first 2 pages. I should’ve questioned her on that…..because the next day, WHILE we were in Vegas,…
