I know. I just had to update. We've packed up the movies and what I refer to as "the island of lost toys / appliances" which is all the little gadgety things that we use, but not all the time. Indoor grill, slow cooker, citrus juicer (I just bought that. I've made 2 lemon meringue pies, and it's a pain in the ass to juice those things by hand with my $1.97 plastic juicer. Also, as I mentioned, I plan to make lemon sherbet. That takes 8 lemons.), liquor cabinet, ice cream maker. You get the idea. I also packed up my cookbooks, which is a very full banker box which there is no hope of getting a top on, but I think they're wedged in tightly enough that they won't go anywhere in transit.
Tomorrow we meet with the lawyer to sign some stuff, and then the kids and I are driving to Moncton to pick out some furniture. The man's uncle is manager of a furniture store there, so we'll get a pretty good family discount. I'm excited; the only furniture we've had has been 2nd hand at best, and we haven't really gotten to pick it out. I'm dropping the boy off with my mother in law, and then meeting my mom and doing some furniture shopping. Then she's coming back here to help finish packing and then to paint the bedrooms on Friday and move and stuff. The boy's room will be blue (Behr's "little pond"), not because he's a boy, but because he likes blue. The girl will have a green (Behr's "cabbage green") room, because that's just a nice colour. It also works out that blue is a calming colour, and the green is a brighter colour, which should work well with their personalities. As much as I can tell what kind of personality my 2-month-old has.
Anyway, on to the 2 month old. Poor dear had her checkup and first needles today. I tell ya, there is little so terrible as holding your poor infant still while the nurse jabs 1, 2, 3 needles into her little chubby legs. The man refuses to go to these appointments, and with his distaste (cough, fear, cough) for needles, I doubt it would do anybody any good for him to go. But still. I went through this with the boy. 2, 4, 6, 12, and 18 months. Each with at least 2 needles. Good times. In better news though, she's growing lots. She's up to 12lbs 5oz, which seems pretty impressive, that's 4lbs in 2 months. However, the boy was at 13lbs13oz at 2 months, so I guess he's winning the race so far. The man is pretty sure it's because his head was so big, but I hope that wouldn't account for 1.5lbs...
Off to relax. It's hot here and I packed a box and had a girlie dr appt and a needle baby dr appt, and that is enough for one day. Oh, I did have lunch at Quiznos, one of those sammies...chicken bacon ranch. It was $2, and SUPER delish. Just right for a smallish lunch or solid snack.
That is all.
