The baby will no longer relegated to a playpen…it will have its own room with a crib and everything! Yes, that does mean we’re moving. Though, kind of unfortunately it’s not out of California.  It’s down the street a mile or so, and also unfortunately about 50 feet outside of Beverly Hills. Yep, we’re back to living in Los Angeles, which is definitely not as cool.

Mark found our incredible deal of $1500 for a 2 bed 1 1/2 bath in a decent area. We didn’t really believe it could be that great, but when we went to check it out we were very pleasantly surprised. There is new carpet and paint, a large closet with shelves, a walk-in closet in our bedroom (no more stupid doors) and a balcony. There is no dishwasher, but we have room to put one at least. We were decided as soon as we saw the whole thing. Luckily the manager seemed to like us too and chose us to live there.

We’re really excited…though not totally looking forward to packing and moving. It will be nice to have a few weeks of overlap so we can move slowly in the evenings, and then get our furniture in a truck one day. We’ll definitely post photos when we’re a bit settled.

And, even though I’m excited, I’m a little….um….unsure too. Before, we just had to get the playpen since we didn’t have room for anything else. Now we have a crib, bassinett, dresser, decorations etc. to get and we’ll be here at least another year instead of moving sooner. But, this will be great too, and maybe we’re supposed to stay for a while longer.

I’m pretty sure baby is doing well since I started getting sick again on Saturday. It’s not too fun, but not as bad as last time. I’ve also gained a bit of weight this week. My stomach sticks out pretty far sometimes, but unfortunately it’s not the baby, it’s the rest of my stomach. I can’t say I’ve “popped” yet, though I definitely do look fatter.

We find out on Saturday afternoon if it’s a boy or girl, so it will no longer be “baby.” YAY! It’s also getting bigger–about 5 inches long from head to bum, and weighs 3-4 ounces. I can hardly wait to see it….we might make an unscheduled post just to spread the news.
