We had a very busy, overwhelming day! I go back to work in two days, so today we visited another daycare and met with our lender to start the paperwork process. We both really liked this daycare, and they actually have two openings for Brenden's age group, unlike the others we've contacted. We had a good feeling about it and I feel a lot better knowing that there are cameras in all of the rooms. I certainly hope I never feel like I need to review the footage, but I like that the teachers know someone is watching.
Meeting with the lender was totally overwhelming. I went alone (Adam hasn't found a job yet so the lender wants to put it in my name only) and I felt like I was flying blind. We've heard great things about the mortgage company and I feel confident this guy knows his stuff, but I felt so nervous with all the numbers and paperwork he threw at me. I have a bunch of documents to pull together for him and it's all very nerve-wracking. I'll be very glad when we close and this process is finished. I'm so nervous something is going to fall through. But on the bright side, we're getting a great rate for a great house.
Brenden's first birthday is tomorrow! One year ago I was sitting in a hospital bed waiting for the inducement to take effect. I remember how when the contractions started up I thought, "this is no big deal, what is the big fuss about?" Then I woke up the next morning to the real gut-wrenching contractions, and the big adventure started there. It's still hard to believe sometimes that we're parents! Our whole lives have changed so much so quickly, it's like a whirlwind.
We're looking forward to taking Brenden to the zoo tomorrow as a birthday treat. Happy Birthday to our little miracle!
