Recent Re-acclimation

As of late, Jim and I have recently moved all of our belongings to North Carolina. Jim is assigned to some training here and to last about a year thus, resulting in my need to absorb all of the beach rays I can before then. I’m almost panicked because we haven’t even been there yet...the beach, I mean. We have been ultimately preoccupied unpacking and in-processing however, so it has been a challenge to even find time to shop for groceries. And to further complicate the relocation and adaptation, tack on the struggle of overcoming the need for a nap twice a day due to the arduous task of carrying a baby in my ever-growing belly. Through this, I finally have the house put together (okay, so mostly put together) and Jim is on his way to becoming an SF trained soldier.

Update on the belly: It is growing ever-so-much that it required me to purchase the first two pairs of maternity jeans. I am also now beginning to get that “I feel fat” feeling...although, I think it is just due to bloating which is probably due to drinking so much water. Weigh-in this past Tuesday proved that no weight was gained during my first trimester. This is very good news because a mother is not supposed to gain in the first tri—only the second and third and only so much as 25-30lbs extra.

With this revelation, I feel that I must jump (not literally) on the stationary bike or find myself a treadmill to continue my exercise regimen as before confirmation of my pregnancy. I am beginning to feel like a normal human being however so this should not be difficult. I think I will begin tomorrow.

Additional news to note: we get our new fence installed for Shooter hopefully next week so he will be able to run and play in a nice big backyard rather than being leashed to my side continuously. They are both adjusting well to the new house and LOVING the new carpet. They find it amusing that they can dig their claws into the carpet for additional traction when running through the hallways leading to a faster pace chase than at the old house. This has been a rather exciting new revelation.

Time to turn in. Maybe I’ll post some new décor pictures tomorrow. Geeez, I sure cannot wait to get started on the baby room! Life is changing...always rearranging.
