Getting settled...

We have arrived in Meridian, Mississippi and are all getting settled now. The movers came yesterday and delivered all of our stuff. We're so thrilled to have couches again, and it was wonderful sleeping in our old bed (with our new comforter that actually fits the bed!). Some quick updates...

  • Aidan & Austin are officially sharing a room now. Austin has transitioned extremely well (knocking on wood...) in to his "big boy" bed, and he and Aidan spent their first official night in the same room in their big boy beds last night. Neither of them got out of bed... of course it WAS 10:00 PM by the time we finally got their room all set up, but we were thrilled! :-)
  • Jared has returned to flight school. He is in ground school right now refamiliarinzing himself with the T-45 jet before he officially begins his position as an instructor. He has been told to expect to fly 2-3 times/day once he's back in the cockpit, so he is THRILLED with that news.
  • I am officially approaching the 34 weeks mark on Monday. I have my next dr. appointment on Tuesday to see if my previa has changed. If not, we will be scheduling a c-section for the week of February 10 (only 3 weeks away!). We have gotten closer to picking out a name but are keeping it under wraps until we are for sure.
  • Just in time for Super Bowl, we are now officially flat screen HD television owners. After lots of research, Jared picked out a 52" LCD that is the new centerpiece of our living room. The boys ALL think it's great! :-)
  • We are in the midst of lots of work and renovations at our new house. Jared has been working his way around the house priming & painting, installing new doors, changing out electrical fixtures and switches and ripping out old carpet. Our new carpet arrived and was installed, and the house is already looking SO much better. I took some before pictures, so when we're closer to complete with the "after" pictures, we'll post them.
  • Aidan & Austin (and Jared & I) are all enjoying the fact that we have dedicated an entire bedroom to the boys' toys. The fighting has been intense with them fighting over all of their "new" toys that have been locked in storage for a month. Toys and punches have both been thrown... we're hoping the new-ness of the toys wears off soon, so we can stop refereeing.

Well, that's it for now. We'll update more soon now that we're getting settled and life is slowing down again (oh yeah, until three weeks from now when our little one arrives!). :-)
