Delay

Well I haven't posted in a while. Sorry! I have a lot to write about! I'm at work so I dont have any pics on me. Facebook has some and maybe I'll post some later on.

I turned in my two weeks notice last Thursday. My last day of work will be April 29th. I am very excited about this. It is also kinda scary to not have 2 incomes. It was a leap of faith for sure. My company is great and I feel really bad about getting pregnant and moving within 8 months of being employed here. It never ceases to amaze me how distraught people are when I leave a job. They think the place will burn to the ground if I'm not here.

I scheduled the movers! They are coming May 5th. I hope they get here early b/c when they leave Ray and I will be loading up and driving us to Plano. I'm hoping to leave as early as possible to beat rush hour. I hope the vet will give me some drugs for Raider. He's gotten so much better in the car but a 4 hour trip will be hard on him and I'm scared to stop places by myself. I've also changed our address on nearly everything (I hope!). I sent a mass email, if you didn't get it let me know. (no creepers!)

Our house isn't sold btw. We dropped the price on April 10th. We were hoping people would capitalize on the $8,000 govt rebate for signing a contract by April 30th. So far, no offers. Lots of lookers though. Which is a huge pain but one of them will be THE one so I deal with it.
I decided I need to move after talking to my doctor on the 14th. Luckily I got in with a new doctor and I'll see her starting May 11th. She delivers at 3 different hospitals, so I will have to tour them and see which one I like best. I'm pretty excited to have choices. Two of them I know are within 15 minutes of our apartment.

I went to IL for a baby shower April 9-11th. It was good to see everyone and eat Avantis, Grady's and Monical's. And I FINALLY met Katie's husband! He does exist and his accent isnt quite as Canadian as I imagined. hehe
The shower was the 10th. I got a nice amount of things, my mom & dad only had to ship one box to me. The rest was money or giftcards which will be coming in handy very very soon. My aunt hand crocheted me a blanket for the baby, which I LOVE. She made my brother and I baby blankets and my parents have afghans for their recliners she made years ago. I am so excited my baby has one from her too. I think her technique has improved over the years, its really thick. My mom also had a comforter custom made for me by a parent at her school. She took my bedding pattern/colors and its kinda quilted together out of super soft felty material. I'll probably not even get the bedding I wanted b/c I can just get sheets to match this comforter. Oh, and she made a bear to match! Its so cute and has a pocket in the back for the tooth fairy when its time for all of that. I also got several books which I am happy about. Those are things I dont think of but definitely want/need. It was a really great shower!

My brother-in-law Randel fixed up my car while I was in IL. He gave it a major tune-up (I'm just about to hit 70k miles) and finally got some air in my tires. I'm so glad he has all of the car knowledge he does. I hope one day I can repay him for what we truly owe him for everything he has done.

My Houston shower is coming up May 1st. My mom is flying in for it. She'll be sleeping on an air mattress and sharing our bathroom cause the guest room furniture and bathroom accessories are in Plano now. Oops. We are expecting a good crowd at this shower as well. Melissa is even flying in from LA for it!!! It will be kinda sad though, it will be the last time I see most of my friends before I move. I know, I know we'll see them again. They all better be planning road trips!

Raider had dental surgery Tuesday. I wanted to get the last of the broken teeth out before the move. Turns out there were more problems than we could see with the eye. It was an extensive surgery and he was really out of it. It kinda freaked me out cause I was home alone with him. I had to pick him up to get him out of the car. He could barely stand to pee his legs were so shaky. He was swerving trying to walk thru the yard. (that part was kinda funny) He is great now though, just wants to play and I cant let him have his toys for at least a week. I tried to explain that I paid a lot of money for those stitches to be there and I wasnt about to let him rip them out. He doesnt seem to grasp that quite yet. He's doing good though and I'm glad the teeth are out. The vet had never seen anything like it. I think he should have paid me for the learning experience but whatcha gonna do? haha

Seems like I have more to tell you but that's all I can think of right now. Is that enough? Again, sorry for the lack of pics. I wanted to get this all out though. :)
