The last two weeks...

Well we are now here in Utah and still getting settled in. Here are a few things we have been up to since we've been here:
1. Parks, pools, playtime: I have been trying to spend a little of each day entertaining H since she we are in such a transitional spot right now. She loves the park across the street from Grandma's and the baby pool out back. Her aunts and uncles provide great playtime for her when they are home and I am exhausted!
2. Our new house: Our house is under some serious renovations right now so we are still at P's parents house but we are having a great time here and it is fun to have people to talk to throughout the day and meals and fun with the family. We are priming, painting, recarpeting, got new appliances, getting new hardware for the kitchen, refinishing a wood floor, and a few other projects and THEN we will start unpacking!! I will post pictures when we get a few more things done. Then we will move in probably around next week.
3. Sick: I sadly got the stomach flu last Saturday night and spent the next two days in bed trying to get enough fluids in me so that I wouldn't end up dehydrated and in the hospital. I was successful in that but it was still miserable. Crossing my fingers that H and P don't get it.
4. Growing a baby: The baby is doing well. Moving a lot and I think getting big! I have my next Dr. apt next Wed. and I am excited to meet the new doctors. I will probably get a good tour of the hospital since my sister in law looks as if she will be having her baby anyday now (actually as I was typing this I found out she is having it right now!!
5. Looking ahead: I am trying to do a little ahead planning now to prepare for P starting school on the 18th, H's birthday, and baby coming. All exciting things but lots to do.

So that is all for now. I will update more and post pictures soon. We miss all our friends in NY and hope everyone is doing well there. We are anxious to go to our new ward (since last Sunday I was sick) and get settled into our house soon!

I'm glad to hear that you made it to Utah safe and sound. I hope the renovations go quickly that way you can get settled in ASAP! I know this is easier said than done, but take it easy! Hugs!

I'm so glad you made it safe and sound. We miss you already back here in NY! I'm so sorry you got sick. I hate the stomach flu. And I can't imagine being sick like that with a pregnant belly. Poor you! Keep the updates coming. I'm going to add you to my blog list.

Rotten luck getting so sick! I got food poisoning when pregnant when I was about seven months pregnant with A. It was rough. A found a birthday present that for H this week. I'm not sure where he came up with the idea for the thing he found. But well send it closer to birthday time. Will you send an email out with your new address? Thanks! We sure miss you guys.
