Moving in.....

What a relief it is for us to be all moved in on base. Its like our own little community of people who are going through the same exact things (somewhat) we are. The house is amazing, only 2yrs old....2 stories (not so easy with Dreycin but we have 3 baby gates, and more doorknob things than I can count) 3bedroom, 2 car garage, and tons of storage and space. Im not gonna lie, I was so nervous to move so close to due date.....but if anything I guess I can consider this my daily workout, organizing the entire house, going up and down stairs, doing tons and tons of laundry since the baby Bronson is coming plus we didnt have washer and dryer hooked up until yesterday and all of our clothes had stacked up on me. Its not really considered nesting in my eyes because I have to do it (type A personality) but oh well. Got my maternity bag packed, and Bronson's room somewhat done. Today I went and did a one stop shop for diapers, wipes, baby laundry detergent,  teething tablets, paper towels, anything that we needed to get us through for a while....and then grocery shopping, did I mention it was just me and Dreycin! He was so good for me today, one woman even commented that he was being so good just sitting in the basket with his feet propped up! He was relaxed, that could have had something to do with the small frosty we shared in between the two stops. I dont think I have mentioned this, but our toilet  training has taken a back seat I still take him to the toilet but being in a new house and all these changes that are happening he stopped telling me when he had to go pee or poopie. But we still do say bye bye to the poopies in the big toilet. This week Bronson and I have our 36wk u/s, NST, and OB check to see how big  he has gotten, I actually still weigh 196 so I havent gained any (yayyy). That puts me at 23lbs weight gain. And at this time with Dreycin I was already pushing 204. My goal from here to delivery is to walk at least 20min every day, although I know im doing alot more already with moving, etc. Im really hoping that miraculously at 38wks or so my body will do what it is suppose to do, and I wont have to do the induction on August 31st!
