Tomorrow's the Big Day!

Tomorrow is moving day! And here I am, writing a blog instead of packing. We were so busy with errands and Brenden today, so we barely got anything done.

I'm feeling nervous now. I always look forward to moving, then freak out when it actually happens. When we moved to this house, it was so cold the first night we were here that I had a crying spell because I was worried about "the baby" being cold. Which is one of the reasons we're moving now... But this move has fewer worries: we've lived in the apartment complex before, and we're using the same movers we used last time.

We are mostly nervous about our new neighbors. We did the apartment inspection today, and the neighbors on the other side of our living room wall are a bit rambunctious. It sounded like there were 8 kids over there squealing, but we only actually saw one woman and a toddler. At first we were like, "Oh man, there's kids living over there!" And then we realized, we have a kid now! It won't be long before he's running around squealing and pissing off the neighbors.

Other than that, the apartment is very nice and spacious. Still, I'm sentimental about leaving this crappy rental house. It's the house where we lived for a good part of the pregnancy and the home we brought Brenden home too. I took him around the house this morning and told him about my memories of being pregnant with him... the time I spent staring out the front window at the beginning of my maternity leave, waiting anxiously for him to be born. And the hours I spent washing and folding his clothes perfectly while watching the squirrels play in the backyard. (Now when I do laundry I spend about 30 seconds stashing clothes in and run back out. There could be an elephant in the backyard and I'd have no idea.)

Now we're on to a new place to make lots of great memories. It will feel really weird at first, but home is where my guys are!
