The vacay was awesome. We spent a lot of time with family and it was just great. My dad had a little get together at his house in NH so our whole family could come and see us. And we picked fresh blackberries from his yard in the morning, the weather was amazing, we shopped at farmer's markets...ah, it was great. Then we took the armoire (which was AMAZING) back down to Jersey with us.
In Jersey, his parents threw us a baby shower for all of us his family and friends, which was so awesome. His mom decorated and they got this amazing cake, and even his uncle came!
I applied for a full-time Army position as a Public Affairs Specialist for the Florida National Guard. It makes like 60k and comes with great benefits, but it also comes with a 2 hour drive. Ugh! But it might be worth it. The announcement closes tomorrow, so I am still really hopeful. Joe and I have even talked about moving further north if I get it so my drive will be a little less. Cross your fingers!!
And finally, we made some insane process on the nursery! We put in wood flooring, painted the walls, finished refinishing the dresser and nightstand, painted half the mural (waiting on a name choice to finish the rest), put all the furniture in there and together, and went on a shopping trip to Ikea. I want to wait until the whole room is together to put up a cohesive picture, but I will post some individual shots and info on how we did it in the following blogs. Here's a tidbit!

ReplyDeleteI'm so mad...I wrote this long comment on your TMI post and there was some error when I submitted and it got erased. Bottom line: too much protein with no real fiber to digest it. Happens to Army guys in the field all the time...they think they can take in tons of protein to lose weight while out there, but protein is actually fairly hard to digest. Unfortunately those fibers pills aren't the best kind of fiber...best is what's in fruits and veggies like apples, carrots, etc... but those are likely a no-no on your plan. Also, drink as much plain water as possible...hard to remember when drinking protein shakes and energy drinks most of the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I live in yoga pants most of the time. I did splurge on one expensive pair of jeans from a Pea in the Pod since I will be REALLY pregnant in December when it's a little cold here.
