32 Weeks Along - Off To Manhattan in the Morning

To start off, once this is posted, there won't be another blog update for a week or two, unless I can manage to find a laptop I like and set it up in Gareth's corporate apt. But I'm not holding my breath. So next update is most likely going to be when I return from Manhattan.

Well, the time has finally come for Gareth to get ready to start with his new firm, bright and early Monday morning, right in the heart of Manhattan. Whilst the thought of NYC in general terrifies me, Gareth is excited if not a bit stressed right now at yet another life change. To be honest, we're both pretty stressed at the moment.

We leave early tomorrow morning to head out to the corporate apartment that's been set up for Gareth and will be a temporary home to myself and Gidget as well, for extended periods of time late this winter and early spring. All three of us will be back and forth between the beach here in Maine and NY. Eventually we'll probably settle in the NE part of PA in order for Gareth to still be able to commute into Manhattan.

I'm only staying out there this time, for just under two weeks as I need to be back in Maine for my next prenatal appt. and to finish getting ready for the baby and settling in for what is looking like a long cold winter.

Gareth will be back in another few weeks for the holidays then back to Manhattan for a short time and then back here for the entire month of January.

When I think about it, it really makes the time fly. Although to be honest, I'm NOT looking forward to the drive back to Maine in a couple of weeks. Am really hoping the weather holds out and that I don't get much bigger, as it's already a tight fit behind the steering wheel. I can't move the seat back because then my short legs won't allow my feet to reach the pedals. Lovely.

If you're sensing a bit of a "mood" on my part, well you'd be very observant. Just tired I guess. I'm generally pretty moody anyhow. I'm also starting to get nervous about Gidget's arrival. The thought of another C-Section and bearing through yet another spinal is making me anxious beyond belief. Oh well, should have enough to keep my mind off of things for the next two weeks.

Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving. We had a very nice time. Gareth made dinner reservations for us as I wasn't up to cooking and then we went and saw the new Harry Potter film. We were going to go and see it Wednesday night but ended up pooping out kinda early and calling it a night. Anyhow, HP was followed by midnight shopping in Freeport at LL Bean and trapsing around over almost impassable roads, due to inclement weather....snow, ice and rain.

Well it's late and I need to get to bed so that we can get up early and be on the road.
