Well surprise surprise, as soon as we paint her room & assemble the crib and gain a small sense of readiness, BAM we're moving. Granted this was our decision, but the timing could not be crazier. We've decided to move to Danville! Yep, I said it, DANVILLE. Thad says he never thought that he would ever live in a town that ended in "ville" but I also never thought I would have ankles the size of oranges and boobs the size of watermelons....Anyway, when we do things, we do them, so we're moving in less than 2 weeks!
We spent all of last week up in Danville securing our new home while Thad interviewed for new jobs in the city. It was a very productive but exhausting week. I am getting more excited about moving there but at the same time I am very sad about friends I will leave behind here and being completely out of my comfort zone at nearly 6 months pregnant. The positives outweigh the negatives though and being near my family will be both helpful & comforting for us and wonderful for Lily. I am so happy that she will get to spend so much time with the family! I just hope her mama doesn't go insane before her arrival. Can the beach really be replaced with cows, deer & wild turkeys? I don't know...but I do know that life isn't really all about me anymore. Something I also NEVER thought would happen :)
Lily is growing and growing, and kicking and kicking!! She is a very active baby in there. They say she should now be settling into a sleeping schedule of about 12-14 hours per day...please tell me when these hours occur because 30 minutes doesn't pass without a few kicks or jabs to let me know she is there! According to her size at the anomoly scan and the fact that she now grows 1/2 inch per week, she should be about 13.5 inches tall right now! We had a doctors appt yesterday and everything checked out great....except my weight....I won't bore you with those details however, if you find me floating in the bay next to the golden gate bridge, now you know why. Actually, forget floating, at this point I will most definitely SINK.
I am going to get Thad to take some pics of my belly later today and post them for all of you to see....mainly ERIN since she won't stop bugging me to post pics of my belly :)

Wow - I have to say - this is a very insightful posting Mrs. O'Grady. Life isn't about you anymore?? WOW! I'm impressed with your new found level of maturity! =) And speaking from personal experience - there is no way that cows, deer, and wild turkeys replace the beach. It might be a little easier for you since you weren't raised basically in the ocean more than on land but it still will suck I am sure. Being close to your family though will give you much more than the most beautiful beach could ever though. However - if I move home I will have my family and the beach!! Maybe I should move too!!!! haha yeah right - who am I kidding.... Don't tear yourself up over your weight. Just make sure you're eating healthy. I know you will be very dedicated to getting the baby weight off once Lily comes. Don't sweat it my friend!! I will be checking back every 20 minutes or so until you post your pics tonight. LOL jk....maybe.
