We're in Newberg

We were able to close on our new home as scheduled; May 4th. It has been incredibly stressful and tiring on my pregnant self, but all in all totally worth it. I can't say how happy I am to be in the house prior to having this baby. I had been going to an OBGYN in Tualatin (about 10 mins from our apartment), but now the drive is about half an hour from the new house. It's still not bad, but we have a hospital literally 5 mins from our house here in Newberg. I went ahead and switched everything over to their Newberg clinic. People keep telling me that I'm brave changing my doctor this late in the game. But when I had Jack my doctor wasn't even on call, so Jack ended up being delivered by someone I had never met. I SO didn't care though...I was was just happy to have someone experienced deliver my child. And that's kind of how I feel about this delivery too.
I have my next appointment on the 26th of this month and then it's weekly till the due date. I am praying that I will have progressed somewhat by the next visit. I mean honestly, after all the chaos of the move I think I am entitled to another early baby! Plus I'm turning into one of those pregnant women who walk funny because I ache all over and it's just not attractive..ha.

As far as the house goes, we are loving it. Jack runs around like a wee nutter non-stop and loves his new room. We got a toddler bed for him, but haven't actually put it into his room yet... we need to get him out of his cot and into that this weekend. I hope he stays in it!

We painted the kitchen and one of the bathrooms the very night we got the keys to the house. It was a lot of work. The following day I had all the carpets cleaned....it looks great! And then by Wednesday the 6th we were totally moved in. It was fast. I only wanted to put up some pictures of the outside and the colour we painted the kitchen for now as the house is so bare and pathetic looking at this point. We don't have nearly enough furniture yet and the walls are very empty and sad looking. We are going furniture shopping this weekend. I'm sure it will take some time to get the house looking the way we want it though, especially with a new baby coming that will take up a lot of my time. So I'll put some pics of the inside up once it starts taking shape.

I really like our new ward, everyone is so friendly and it's half the size of our last ward. Hopefully we will get to know a lot more people here.
