Thank you everyone for the warm welcome of Miss Sophie....She's peeking in to say hi!!!
It always amazes me how quickly you forget what life was like before a new baby in the family arrives. Things are going so smoothly here despite the chaos of a move 3 days away. And Sophie is the most perfect little sweetie pie, I feel so incredibly blessed to be her mommy. The kids are doing so well adjusting to her as well. I expected a bit of lashing out from Shay but he is even surprising me. I give all the credit to Sophie though because I believe if she was high maintenance Shay would have more of an issue with her. But her laid back attitude gives Shay enough time to still be attached to me. So she is already a pro at keeping the peace it seems :)....
As far as our move...The container just showed up yesterday and the next few days will be full of packing and loading it up. Monday they will come pick it up and haul it toward our destination. And we will begin our cross country trip on Tuesday. Planning a stop in Texas for Scott's family to see the baby. And then continue on our journey west. It's so exciting and stressful at the same time....
For those who are curious, yes the Army will move you but we have had quite an experience with damage and losing things from the companies the Army uses. So to save ourself the hassle we opted to do it ourselves. It's definitely more work but knowing our stuff is safe and making a little extra money for the hard work, is worth the hassle in our opinion. Hopefully it continues to be a better choice as we go along..
I am just super anxious to get to California and hopefully get into a new place very soon so I can feel settled and secure. For now it's crazy town :)
