Time Flies

Time sure flies when you're moving! As we contend with an April 17th closing date on a house, from 2,600 miles away, the month has sort of snuck up on us. Now I have too much to do and too little time to do it in. I think that every weekend until we drive out of North Carolina is booked, mostly fun stuff with a little work thrown in here and there.

This coming weekend we are off to DC. It will be husband's first visit to our nation's capital and a trip that I feel is absolutely necessary. I am really looking forward to it even though the weather people are forecasting rain. The cherry blossoms should be in full bloom and I think that the National Mall and its surrounding area is one of the most moving and beautiful spaces in the world. I guess that's the patriot in me coming out. Maybe I will actually take and post some pictures.

I will be traveling to Ohio for a long weekend April 25 - 28. So, if you are reading this and are in traveling distance to my hometown, I would love to see you. I think that I am going to have to put in an order for Aunt Louise's pecan pie and strawberry dessert. Local bakery doughnuts and the Pizza Palace are always must eats...hmmm I think it's about dinner time.

On the baby front, all is well. I was just at the doctor today and she said that there was lots of movement and a strong heartbeat. I am slowly but surely coming to terms and prepping myself for all of the changes that are to come. I guess it's the lack of fitting into my pants that it making it the most real. I am still refusing to wear maternity clothes, so my plethora of clothing has slowly dwindled to about five pairs of elastic waist pants and several skirts that I wear "Mama" (as in that all too funny 80's sitcom Mama's Family) style, nestled just below my tatas. Lovely!
