Five years of moving every 4 months while we were at University has put me off packing forever. I could go on and on about how much I hate packing. It feels like we packed all weekend - oh wait we did! Our bedroom, the girls room, my half of the bathroom and the kitchen are done. The only things that are left is the computer, our cutlery drawer (we got the paper plates and plastic cups), and all the other stuff we still need.
We did take an hour today to go visit Amelia, Alicia and Jeff. They got discharged from the hospital yesterday and their first night at home went very well. Amelia is a very peaceful little baby. She is very cute and was very good at being passed around. I did bring the camera and I did take some good pictures but John has packed away the cord for the camera (and I also hate unpacking!). I will not forget to post a picture of her.
This morning John was packing while I was feeding the girls their lunch when he commented on how much more fun they are now. They are starting to get alot more interactive. At lunch they were copying each other…Emma would blow a raspberry…Leah would blow a raspberry…then they would both giggle. It was pretty funny. They are also both really good about entertaining themselves. The follow each other around and get into all sorts of things (like bubblewrap) but they aren’t whining for attention all day long.
We have changed up their schedule a bit in the last few days. I’ve been noticing more and more that they don’t seem to need their afternoon nap anymore. If I lay them in their crib they’ll have a nap but they don’t seem to need it. Two nights in a row last week, Leah woke up in the middle of the night and acted like it was time to get up. We had a very hard time getting her back to bed so the next day I didn’t put her down for her nap. She slept right through that night but Emma woke up. Starting that day neither one of them got a nap. Since then they have both slept through the night without a peep AND they are getting up at 9am rather than 7am!!! I am really, really hoping this isn’t just a phase!
So that’s all the news. We have a busy week ahead of us. Tomorrow we have to meet with the lawyer to get the closing documents signed for the house and the condo. We also have our pre delivery house inspection in the afternoon and I have bookclub tomorrow night. Wednesday we close the house, Thursday we move and Friday we close the condo. It’s hard to believe that this time next week I just might be enjoying my new bathtub!
