I can't believe how much has happened since the last post! We were still in the midst of the craziest week ever when I last wrote. Somehow, we got out of our apartment, ran all of our errands and got all (well, most) of our stuff (and ourselves) to California. Plus, Matt managed to line up our fall sublet before we got out of there, which still amazes me, considering all he had to do that week. It is stressing me out just thinking about those last few days in NYC, so let's just move on from there.
We got here and the weather alone was enough to make us happy. We went from sweltering humidity to beautiful cool weather. Our sublet turned out to be really nice (including a little backyard and jacuzzi), and Lizzie and Wahoo have been really happy here. On the downside, I realized that we didn't get here with almost all of my maternity pants and several shirts...I am still not sure whether I left them at the cleaners or if I accidentally sent them to storage. I guess I will find out soon enough. On the brightside, I had the perfect excuse to get some new things.
That first weekend we were so ready to get out and just be outside! We got coffee and some breakfast and walked over to Golden Gate park and were just in heaven. It was so beautiful outside and so nice to let Liz and Wahoo run crazy for a bit. The next day, we drove out to Stanford to just check it out and saw lots of cute neighborhoods that could be fun to live in IF we were to choose to go there and IF they choose us. Palo Alto has a Wahoo's so OF COURSE we ate there. Polished off the day with some In-n-out and we were already sold on NorCal.
Okay, this post is already getting really long and possibly boring, so I am switching to a list format. If something doesn't make sense, you have the perfect excuse to email me and comfort me in my impending depression.

And now it is all over. Boohoo. Oh, and Matt really enjoyed UCSF. So...still not sure what that means as far as building our rank list, but now we now that we could be happy here if that were to work out.
And, of course, this whole time Addie has been growing bigger and stronger and I am getting to the point where I am excited for her to come out! I am trying not to think about it too much because I still have 10 weeks to go, which is so close, yet really so far. It is a good thing, though, because we haven't gotten ANYTHING to prepare for this one. We don't need much, but we do need a few things. It is really unbelievable to think that we will have another one. Crazy. Well, the laundry buzzer just went off, reminding me that I have a lot to get done tonight. Well, 2 months until Addie (pray for Halloween!) and 4 months left in NYC! Crazy, crazy.
They loved the backyard, even though it was mostly overgrown plants and uneven pavement.
