Sickness, and catching up some more

Although my mission is to catch up the blog with past events, I thought I'd add one piece of info from the present: I have strep throat. As my one of my blogging comrades would say, WTF! I guess working with kids kinda brings with it the risk of getting sick, but I was awfully proud of myself that I had made it through 28 weeks of pregnancy without a single (non-pregnancy related) illness. So, now I'm basically bedridden (I've slept 6 hours, in two installments, since getting home from the doctor's office at 11am today), and on penicillin, which also wipes me out. I can't find the energy to do ANYTHING, but I guess that's just my body's way of making me take it easy. Lucky for me, I have a wonderful husband who made me tea and soup, and also he just cleaned the kitchen. What a nice man he is.


Anyway, one of the biggest events from the past month is that we MOVED to a new place. As you may remember (see previous posts here and here) there were some issues with the place, but the maintenance department pulled through and we moved in on June 29th! Prior to moving in, we did a little painting.... here are some pics:

Our version of American Gothic... Also, Joe making a hilarious face while I tinker with the camera timer:

Yes, we did paint both the rooms green, but different shades. It's a color that seems to match our taste in decor pretty well!

Can't wait to furnish and set up her room - we had a baby shower this weekend (post coming soon, I hope), and got LOTS of good loot for the little girl! I'll also post some pics of the house all set up, once it's finally all set up... Joe has been working very hard at his MA degree, and we haven't had a ton of time to do finishing touches like hanging artwork and curtains. And being pregnant, I'm not about to climb up on a chair and do it myself, so it will have to happen all in good time. Plus I have strep, so there's that. But I can tell you that we're VERY happy with our new place. It's an adorable spot.
