Lots of news

If you haven't heard, we are having a baby! Well, another baby! I am due November 6, which means I am 10 weeks right now. So fun, but I was really sick for a while between morning sickness and the flu. I am doing much better now, but still having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. It is hard to be pregnant when you have a toddler!
So, other news...Matt's parents are moving to Idaho! We are really excited for them, but we have decided to do a farewell tour of OKC instead of going to the Hamptons like we had planned, I am really excited to get out of here for a bit and do suburban stuff. Also, we are going to be spending the month of August in San Francisco to check it out (Matt is doing an away rotation at UCSF). I really wanted to go to CA before then, but we have a lot going on and I am a little nervous about flying without Matt now that I am pregnant again (and can't use our backpack carrier or our backpack carseat bag...getting a 2 year old and all her stuff down the stairs, in the cab, to bag check, through security, and onto a plane by yourself is hard, but doable if you have a system...now my system won't work and I am still formulating a new one). Anyway, we also just decided to go ahead and sell off/give away/throw away most of our stuff and sublet after we return from SF. I am sure most of your would croak at the thought of having a one bedroom for all of us, including the new baby, but living here has taught us how little you actually need and we are really excited to create a fresh start for ourselves next year in California while simultaneously negating the need for excessive storage costs over the next year.
Matt is planning to use April as one of his vacation months next year, which means we will move at the end of March and have less than a year left here. We are just going to fly back for graduation and stay at a hotel. We won't find out where Matt is going to work until the end of March, so we are just planning to go to my mom's for now. We are considering a cross-country drive home, though. Sometimes road trips are just the thing when you need to process a big change like that, but I am still a little nervous about all that car time with two babies! So we will see.
Well, I guess that is it! I wanted to scan the ultrasound pic, but our scanner isn't cooperating. Maybe I will get it figured out when naptime is over and I can make noise. I am also already showing, so I will post pics of the mini-bump soon.
