Nearing the end

We are starting to feel really settled in our new house. I love it. I couldn't be happier with the nice quiet neighborhood, the great wee parks that are so close by, and I really love our new ward too. I can't believe how friendly everyone has been to us. We've made some friends that have young kids too and spent memorial day with them enjoying a BBQ. Followed by another BBQ at Ryan's parents house in Salem. It was a very busy, but enjoyable day.
We bought some new furniture that should be arriving tomorrow morning. We bought a bedroom set and a sofa, love seat, ottoman set. I'll post some pics soon.

On Tuesday I had an appointment with my new OBGYN. I liked him even better than my previous doctor. He is such an easy going guy and made me feel very comfortable. Turns out that he has delivered tons of girls babies from my new ward. The hospital here in Newberg is only 3 years old and every room has a jacuzzi ... nice. Ryan seemed really excited when I told him, but who said anything about him using it!
The one downer is that they don't have a nursery. I loved that about Utah Valley Hospital. I could press a wee button when I wanted Jack taken away so I could sleep and then buzz it again when I wanted him back for a cuddle and feeding. This time the new wee guy will be right there all the time..hopefully he sleeps really well so we can both get some rest before heading home.
At my appointment I had dilated to a 2. I was surprised to have dilated at all, but I don't want to get my hopes up and think that that means he's coming early as my friend, Karen, was stuck at a 3 for like 3 weeks or something! So, I might have a while to go yet. I did finally pack a bag last night though and wash all of Jack's old newborn clothes. I can't believe how tiny they are. I am sure Jack is going to look massive next to the new wee guy.

Sounds great! I'm excited to see your new place all put together AND to see the new baby . . . I'm just wondering which pictures I will see first! Good Luck :)
