Moving, Again

(This is me at 32 weeks)


We are in the middle of our 33rd week, which means we have just over six weeks until our due date. Time is flying! My job has been crazy, but now that one-week of training 75 staff is completed and school has started, my work is hopefully going to slow down.

We started our 6-week childbirth class last week. It definitely makes it feel a bit more real.

After a lot of debating over the last few months, we've decided to move 35 minutes to Reedley, where my job is, and where one of my Michael's offices is. He can work mostly from there, so it ends up being a much better commute for both of us. Reedley is a small, cute town, but it's 35 minutes from Fresno, and we hesitate to move and feel like we're "starting all over" again. We know it's not really starting over, as we will still get to see a lot of our Fresno friends, it will just take a bit more effort. Regardless, we feel at peace about the decision.

For the first time in our marriage we've had to make a decision that affects us as a family, and not just the two of us as a couple. Moving to Reedley means a lot less money on gas, but more importantly, a lot less time in the car with a brand new baby. It means we can save money, and our work time can be a bit more flexible. This also means we won't need nearly as much childcare, if any. We're hoping to make it work so one of us is always home with the baby. That's really the end goal here.

We put in our 30 day notice at our apartment complex, so at this point we have about 3 weeks to find a place in Reedley, pack, and move! We know it's a little crazy with how close we are to our due date, but we're trusting it will all work out. I'm excited to find a rental house and get the baby's room all set up. The nesting instinct has kicked in and I don't have an outlet for it right now!
